K I wouldn't normally do this but when I actually have the money and the time.. I suddenly realise there are far too many choices, what should I do?

I have a completely stock body GTS-4 4-door which I poked the nose of into a wall. Now I am up to body repair but I can't make up mind what to do. The choices to me are:

Touch up and leave it stock and same colour, cheap but sorta boring.

Same colour, add the pair of GTR guards I have to the front and dig up a GTR front bar then wait however long to get type M sideskirts, cool but both front bar and sideskirts seem quite rare at the moment.

As above but change colour, along the lines of this,

Something like a Uras kit.

Thoughts?

This is what it looks like atm :w00t:. Sadly Grey GTRs are rare as however I have a set of black GTR guards so a respray isn't too much extra. I think I like the idea of OEM goodness too so i'm currently chasing down a frontbar :w00t:. Anyone got any contacts for the type M (1990+ gts 4 door) sideskits.

Gunmetal Grey GTR's are far from rare unless you mean BLO (Grey Blue Pearl) which is hard to get because it was a order only color.

hard to say from that pic which one it is.. soo dark

hhhmmm, personally?

Firstly.. i think you need to put a GTR grill.. i think that will make quiet a diff to the look of the front of the car.

I like your idea of the GTR guards and such.. i would say give it a GTR look with GTR Front and Side's, and possibley an aftermarket rear to make it flow a little more.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
