Hey guys not sure if this is the right section to be asking but please delete if I'm wrong! ^_^

Whats everyone think of smoked tail light centers? Just a photoshop of the last picture but I love it and think I'll do it soon625535_561547750546261_1221693203_n.jpg

That looks quite good! Really highlights against the white. I think the question would just be how it looks under braking?

@@Dillon34, what's it like with the lights and blinkers on?

It looks good with the lights on (see picture) but the blinkers don't look as good to be honest. Paint wasn't perfect and it really shows up when the blinkers are on, also although they are still clear to see....they are more red than orange for some reason haha

Not ideal but I'm happy with it all in all

Car look great! Lights are nice as well. Awesome pic Drew. May I ask where you picked up the bonnet from?

Thanks, I've been waiting ever since I picked up the GTR around 4 years ago to get this bonnet lol Its a Border Bonnet, picked it up from a mate who's car it was on when he got it into the country and he wanted the Z-Tune style so I grabbed it off him. Priced it up to bring one in from Japan and it was around 3.5k. Its Carbon Fibre but I had mine painted by BodyForm Motorsports @ Smithfield to blend in with the rest of the car.

Ah right. Quite lucky then! I've seen quite a few companies in Aus have the Z-Tune style one available to buy (not to mention the endless supply of cheap copies) but not this one. I do really like that one though. Can you still use the standard strut brace with that bonnet or have you got an aftermarket one?

    • Update 2: Today I'm f**king pissed. Some of you probably saw my thread that I opened shortly after joining this forum, "urgently need expert/experienced opinion", in which I discussed the possibility of a porous RB26 engine block which I also found hard to believe. Currently both turbos are out since the shitty braided line that was installed by whoever fitted the GT28 turbos leaked oil onto the exhaust. Today while working on the cam covers to put new gaskets and half moons in, I cleaned the side of the engine block with brake cleaner. Some time later I saw that it was still glistening with oil or coolant so I dried that off. But it was wet again shortly after. Verdict: I'm royally screwed. What you can see here (hopefully, despite shit resolution), circled in red, is a crack above the turbo oil feed. Extent is a few cm long and basically goes from #3 cylinder wall to #4 cylinder wall. It slowly lets coolant through, even without any pressure behind it. I am absolutely dumbfounded as to how this crack even formed, especially since it isn't along the cylinder as it usually is but rather a horizontal crack. Probably a few cm in length. Not sure on how to deal with this issue right now. Most likely, the only true fix is a new engine block, and even a relatively well done temporary fix requires at least a full engine teardown. Neither of those really fit my timetable right now, the car has been in my buddy's garage long enough as it is. I'm open to suggestions, but I'll be looking into ordering a new 05U block soon so I have one ready for the coming year, or whenever the current block inevitably fails fully. (Most likely once the crack reaches one of the frost plugs) I think it'd be a waste of money and time to rebuild the engine with this block. Oh and I found a rust hole on the side pocket of the trunk, which someone covered up with sealant goop, a piece of number plate and bodywork filler. Fun times. So far for every issue we fix we just find a new one that is arguably worse.
    • I have not found this no. I put one back on a couple days ago with no drama. I agree they are tight, but no need to remove anything. 
    • That is gates blue racing belt
    • Anyone found gates blue racing to be extremely tight/ almost impossible to install without moving the exhaust gear
