If you're in the right spots A, the 1st and last hour of the day are the best times for colour and texture; so in the place you were at, you've done well!

Agree with this Terry, although this spot is better in the morning opposed to the afternoon as the sun is over the ocean and you dont get the shadows from nearby buildings... but they turned out ok after all.. pretty happy with them

Cheers mate, haha was going to replace it but didnt get one today that I liked that is long and skinny etc... Will do soon though I'm sure.

^^^ very nice Mate, like it with the front diffuser back on! And the plates

^ Will take some better pics when its not so sunny here in Sydney, I just polished her so its pretty hard to look at her in the sun, or take photos.

Thanks mate, wish I had the front diffuser on for the other above photo too, would have completed it.

They were just happy snaps after the detailing process but actually came out pretty good.

Thanks mate, agree the yellow is different in person, and the black wheels show up much better ha.

With the bonnet, I posted a wtb add here and surprisingly within days import monster contacted me saying he had one... I was very lucky I think... And yea it's original, used to be white as there were no yellow vsii's made.

Very nice Pics ...Yellow looks mad.

Also would like to know the story on the bonnet.... dont mind having NACA duct added to my normal bonnet..if at all possible.

Cheers mate.

you can add the NACA duct to the original aluminium bonnet, Terry did this on his black GTR.. turned out really good, but i believe it was slightly easier on that one as it was black, so the tie with the duct was very easy. I considered doing this also, but i wanted to keep my bonnet original, so the cost of buying another aluminium bonnet and modifying that etc.. would have cost too much in the end for me.. I was just lucky to find an original vsii bonnet for a decent price..

there is one for sale atm on here for 3500.. looks in good condition to... but after painting would cost around the 4k mark... alot of money for it, but they are so rare so i guess they can command pretty high prices!

$3500 for the factory vs2 bonnet wow these things are worth more than gold these days..

Would you by any chance know what price range your looking at for modifying the original bonnet with the NACA duct ??

the NACA duct its self is cheap, around $50 or less.. then just pending were you take it to fit it and how much paint etc is needed to touch up around it and finishing etc, i would guess that $750 would be more than enough.. maybe around the $500 mark..

i dont think the NACA you buy seperate will have the exact out line of the factory one though... but that could probably be modified to be very close to it etc..

I might go the Carbon Z-tune COPY or nismo S-tune bonnet COPY, being a black car. the Carbon items looks nice on it. The prices people pay for OEM R34 items are crazy. stuff like original rear diffusers, rare M-spec seats, VSII bonnets, Nismo rear lights go for ridiculous amounts these days
