Is that docking lol

f**kin love the front, granthem , did you have to cut up the front lip for it to fit ? Also did you use "liquid nails" to attach it?

Only had to trim the Lip ever so slightly because of the cooler. I was fairly impressed with the rest of the fit. No liquid nails needed, it fits so snug that it wouldn't need anything to keep it on! That said I did put 2 small screws in the wheel arches just to be safe.

Took a while to track down the kouki 4 door parts tho...

Grant, car's still looking good as always. And Nick, loving the awesome action shots of your GTR! That's definitely where a GTR belongs - on track.

Here's a recent photo of my car (the white one) and RBScreamer's freshly sprayed R33 in a custom shade of dark pink:

Is it a genuine lip or a Viva Garage copy?

Why does everyone buy Vivagarage, Genuine is nearly the same price before shipping. It doesn't have the same non roundy bits either.

I needed mine ASAP for a wedding. Couldn't wait 6 weeks plus for delivery so I bit the bullet.

The Viva quality is alot better then I expected. Required no trimming to fit the bar at all (like I said, only the cooler). That said I would have gone genuine through Jesse Streeter or someone if I had the time.

Who made the original in Jappo land anyway?

Flat black on white, don't think it would work..white is easy enough to do with a spray can anyway and still look good..

Though dark charcoal or gunmetal grey does work well with white..

I'm wondering what satin black would look like against my gunmetal grey. :unsure:

Genuine gear is really strange. I like to think of japanese workmanship being pretty good, but even with big name companies it can be hit and miss.

I know a mate who got (from memory) Dmax carbon roof wing, rear lip etc for his S15. The roof wing is the worst for finish, fitment I have ever seen. Overall it is disgustingly bad and was purchased through a reputable shop as a genuine dealer I believe. That said, the lip was good.

That alone sometimes scares me from spending oodles on legit stuff I've never seen in the flesh.

here is a couple pics of how my interior has now turned out.

originally had r34 gtr front seats and r34 gtr steering wheel.

Now has Bride seats, door trims front and rear and momo race wheel with D1 carbon quick release hub

I built my own bolt in half cage seeing as i have the skills and equipment available at work (basically work payed me to build my cage seeing it was done during work hours)

i also got rid of the sound deadening in the back seat and sprayed the rear black

I have removed the climate controll, all audio gear and the factory centre gauges. made my own parcel shelf to cover all the holes left by speakers

fitted up igniton kill switch and other switches which still need to be hooked up

also fitted four gauges to the centre console

cage fab

cage paint

carbon centre pannel

gauges fitted

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope! 
    • I spotted a black C34 in Mittagong this morning!
