hey good work!!

will be thumping.. so do you have any plans for it?? I guess its got soo much done to it there probably isn't heaps that is easy

these wheels would look good on it..but they're from japan

wind down the boost to give less power.. probably a first in the skyline scene..hehe :) but yer, 400rwkw couldn't be fun when its raining.

I have a few plans of getting the most of my car, and hopefully learning a few things over the next couple of months... but i think unless i have a major change of circumstance I'm going to sell it b4 the end of the year :-(

but i have bigger and better plans for my next car.. and wanting to work from the ground up this time i think, do every thing my way.. and probably install most of it myself to save costs. Think I'm in a position to install most of the usuals myself..

still not sure exactly what i'm getting, few options.. think i'm going to give importing a go - once SEVS is up and functioning properly.

haha, thats awesome...

You'll get used to it eventually though. Will be fun to take it down the 1/4 - you'll get so many looks and stuff.. Better set a good time or you'll get abused - you got the car now there is no excuse about the driving :)

ahh the never ending plans :D

i always say to myself after a mod "...and THATS IT! not more!"

the car is currently at Palm getting the bonnet, front bar, boot and new stealth wing (when it comes in later on this week/next week) resprayed

bought the wheels last week and im happy with those

now, the car will have to wait for abit till the money tree grows a tad then its turbo option time

1. highflow

2. straight bolt on aftermarket

3. go the whole hack, manifold, external gate, td06 *shrugs*

well see once the time comes around, then ill make dead set decisions

u really want the widebody kit for the R32? never been a huge fan, but its something different i guess. post a pic!

I'm thinking GTS4 too, if not a good ol gts-t will do.. around $10k ? maybe being too optimistic there but not sure.. then spend $5k on the "minor mods" (kit, exhaust, Fmic, boost, etc) to get it to around the 170kw wheels mark.. then think about thinking about trying to get it to 250 kw or so at all 4 via something or other turbo...But i'm in no hurry. May just do stage 1, save the money for my house, adn get a 1990 R32 GTR under the 15 year rule in 2005 if its still around then (thinking way too far ahead.. lol)

Still also thinking the 180 for number of reasons, even though people might disagree with me..

possible a tt-soarer /me waiting for the slap from inark

I don't think I will be doing mine till right till end of this year, start of next year. Might think about a worked 89 model of "whatever", but will have to think about that a bit more.

whistla: what happened to your bonnet? I think i've only seen yours once, but it looked damn clean to me :(

haha..yer, i consider that for my 33.. but well i don't want to spend another $8k which i know will be hard to get like $30k for mine.. sure it might be 270rwkw, but its a pretty limited market for buyers.. you gotta be keen - not many p-platers can afford that :D

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..   
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
