Any chance you can get "inspired" to put 19inch LMGT4 in Silver, always wanted to know how it will look on a BB GTR.

From memory, I believe I already have some pics of silver 19" LMGT4 on bayside blue GTR.

Will have a hunt around tonight and post them up for you.

Hi all, its just an edited photo. I wanted to see how it looked if I did go down the path.

Playing with ideas at the moment.

DO IT! haha...

thats basically what mine will look like when im done, except for TE37sl's instead of LMGT4s... oh and yellow of course....

you dont want to edit it to yellow so i can get a feel for it ha? i might try later tonight when i get home

Agree BB would look great with 19" LMGTs but I have seen a few BB 34s that are a bit flat, or have mis-matching panels - look again closely at the Mines' one above; differences between tail lights and boot / bumper... the paint really needs to have been looked after (not faded; regularly polished and a good wax used) to give its best IMO. Then, it really stands out.

I know what you mean. A few of the BB ones I saw while shopping had actually lost their depth of colour a bit. They were not as vibrant as they should be.

I've previously taken notice of the common BB colour mismatch on the rear (as described above). I have always thought this was beacuse the paint sets differently on the bumper and taillights (plastic) to the bootlid (metal). Mainly visible in photos or from certain angles / light.

If you get a sec, please clarify - are you saying that the paint on the mines one above looks like it has not been given the love it deserves?

Cheers mate.

Haha. If that middle pic I posted is anything to go by, and with my nitpicking cap on, that paint match is atrocious. Can't say that I wouldnt have that car though!

I seem to remember there being a thread floating around SAU or maybe another forum a while back when someone was inspecting a BB BNR34, suspected rear damage due to paint not matching at the rear; pics were posted, vendor got involved, accusations were made that pics were doctored, got to the point where someone actually used image-doctor detection software to tell if the image was shopped... All this bru-haha when it's quite possible that the paint just came that way from the Nissan factory??

Thanks mate. Was curious because thats how mine is, I didnt know if it was because the paint had been mistreated at some point in its life for an extended period of time. My bootlid is slightly darker than the rest of my rear.

Now that is just pure sex

Glad you like them.

Terry_GT-R34's got me thinking now though. Would be fantastic to see a whole group of bayside blue GTR's together in some pro photos. I've never seen that before.

We should also ask Chris (Chris06-R) to join us, his R34 GTR is also BSB and very photogenic. That would make it an even 5.

Anyway, while looking for those pics for mclarenf1, I found this BSB GTR dumped on TE37's in my pic stash too, thought i'd share.

Correct. I did see the rear diffuser had been removed from the car.

Wouldnt want to crack that. Many $$$$ gone.

There is a guy called Stephen on here that actually owns a BSB 34 GTR with white TE37's on it - looks immaculate.

Had to dig up the pics for completions sake.

Amazing car, still in original condition apart from the rims.

It is crazy, how a set of rims can completely change the look of a car.

    • 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
