I am just getting around to do some cosmetic changes on my currently stock as a rock R34 GTT coupe. It has 17 inch Yokohama AVS rims on it with Rays nuts at the moment but thats it. I am considering if I should stick with the white accent colour as it "sort of" suits the car. It contrasts at least. Only issue is cleaning the white rims :domokun:

Do you think I should stick with White accents such as white gauges and other stickers, or shaft the rims and go for alloy or gun metal rims and a different "theme" all together. They are excellent rims in perfect nick though and I wouldnt want to just give them up. Anyone know how much it would be to get them all painted too?

PS: mods dont worry the plates that are on it have been changed since the pics were taken.

i think some yellow door handles, and blue mirrors, maybe a green spoiler and a middle eastern flag painted on the bonnet would look JUST right...

seriously i saw a VY statesman white with red door handles, red commodore hubcaps, red mirrors, red badges and red tint... and it had an arabic flag of some sort stickered on the side window

...but the car was white

like... it's a statesman... it's supposed to be a flagship model of car, yet they made it lok like an abortion...

on a serious note..

spray the wheels black instantly .. silver and black look stunning .. a carbon or black hood also will look wicked.. a new kit will set it off i reakon a d1 or uras kit look nice is silver

+1, Black or charcoal/shadow wheels look hot on silver liners.. Not that i can talk i still havent bought rims for mine yet....

well, I've just ordered a set of these puppies for my line, hyper chrome & black accent = best of both worlds :D

8 week wait though :spank:

Hot... very nice - should go very well IMO - however, are they at least 18's if not you'll be bashed... LOL :(

    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
