But your post still prompted me to think,...

it must be a bit difficult to find what rims would suit Silica Breath...

I'm guessing that gold, titanium, chrome, white or even black rims might not suit that coloured car?

Perhaps just matt silver - hmmm, maybe bronze? Thoughts?

i'd just go silver wheels. anything else would look weird.

i know it's off topic but here's a Silica Breath C10 to illustrate the perfectness of silver wheels on silica breathe

again, sorry for non-34 post

Well silica would be derived from sand, so I can see that connection; the breath is probably just Japlish? Better than "Colour giving the super happy special deluxe feeling"?

:rofl:

From memory, it's also know as Champagne Gold.

Haha... I like it though, if I had an M-spec I'd definitely like it in that colour.

Reminds me a bit of the Diablo 6.0 VT colour "Oro Elios" which was a special "final edition" colour, kind of like the M-spec is to the R34.

Weirdly, the colour also kind of reminds me of the old Nokia 8850 Gold, which used to be the phone-to-have, back in the day...

Does anyone know why KSR removed the vented bonnet?

For a second there I thought you thought that this car is KSR... Whoops

If this is yours Drew, I've always liked the look of your car; so clean and tasteful mate. :thumbsup:

hey matt, yep its mine. Thank you, thats the same thing everyone who comments on the car says, its clean.

He painted the carbon bits white, its still there lol, just not visible from the photo

Ah ok, I liked it with the carbon bits unpainted.. almost made me want to replace my bonnet with that style just to be able to do it - leave the vents unpainted lol

Either way its still an amazing looking car.

Nothing compared to some of the beasts posted earlier but heres my baby :)

R34 GTR's look tough as stock. I would just lower it slightly and chuck some spacers on, say, 20mm and you got a tough looking guy already.

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
