After nearly 4months since that moron ran up the back of me while I was waiting at a set of lights, I finally got my car back on Friday. Click here for crumpled rear end pic

It's been way too long. But I am so happy to have her back. She even looks different nowadays. I do these ones :D everytime I start her up and hear that GT30r spool.

(here's what she looked like before)

Anyway, onto the pics of my updated 'line:

noice! you could even do the roof and pillars black and have a full on panda san-san.

I thought about it, but then I started thinking about going satin black on all the white bits...and then I thought about how silly I am to start thinking about thinking about doing such things. :D

Wow, what a finish looks awesome & also a bit different! Love the new rear boot very nice! You must be happy to have her back lookin better then ever!

Thanks dude, I'm very happy to have her back. Every time I look at her it just looks like a new car for some reason. It just doesn't look as fat and plump anymore. Looks a little bit more sleeker I reckon.

finally..

looks awsome, wheres the boot from?

Took their time didn't they!

Boot matches the bonnet. It's from East Bear - Japan. Jo from Powerplay (if you read this thanks heaps Jo!!!) got it in ages and ages ago, the smash repairers had the boot within a week of me dropping my car off. But I got my car 4 months later....

Thanks guys :D. I love the end result. I guess for every bad there's a good.

Despite taking along time to do the work, the smash repairers I chose did a really good job. Going over it this morning (couldn't sleep) I noticed the panel gaps are really good, I can't even tell that they chopped the boot floor out, and they didn't screw around with my car despite me leaving the FC controller plugged in and unlocked (I wouldn't have done this unless I knew the guys...). So those are all good things. Shows they can be trusted...even if it means waiting a long time.

I decided to do away with the big sticker... Mainly because they had to remove/cut/panel beat the drivers rear quarter and it has brand new paint on it which you're not supposed to stick anything on to for up to 30 days. I think it looks cleaner now though. :D

    • 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
