Im going skiing man. Not going to the TAS this year otherwise id grab a TE37 off a rack and hand it to him and say "おい!お前! この TE 37 わ そのgtr に 見せて だろ 早くぞ!!

basically translated, " Oi!, you bastard, i wanna see this TE 37 on that GTR! And be quick about it"

everytime i look at that orange gtr i think about how absolutely edible it is...

The orange one looks amazing in the flesh. The quality of the paint is superb. Car was stripped and done right.

Sat in it today and man those recaros are comfy.

vanilla closed down before last year, BB//

thats a definite no go. Unless they got it reopened somehow..??

really? d'oh. I was there in 2007 though so it can't have been closed before that. unless I dreamed it? bummer. I liked that place.

I don't like the orange...

I'm with you. I don't like the orange either (actually, I don't like orange cars in general). Its just a bit too "flat" for my liking (compared to it being a "hyper lemon" yellow instead, to use JUN terminology). If I wanted a really vibrant, stand out colour for a stand-out car (like, for example, a Lamborghini) then I'd want it bright yellow.

That said, I don't think the GT-R should look that. Its not a "tough" colour. If I afford one the only colours I'd consider would be a bright red (not the flat almost-maroon the car comes in but more like Ferrari's), Nismo silver (the Z-Tune hue), pearl white or jet black.

350 Zeds look better

*runs....

350 what? what is that?

i'm usually not a fan of orange either but having the black wheel makes it sooooo much better, but to look tough they need the big Amuse rear wing.

Dunno how you can say it looks flat. It's one of the least flat colours i could imagine. I dunno maybe you just need a better pic of it.

maybe he means milky flat...

mmmmmmmmmm.....milkyyyy flat bright orrranggge jaffffa GTRRRRRRRR grrahhh gglluurghh

So it seems the body kits have started, but what about mechanical upgrades - is anyone doing thm yet?

Not a lot really - Most of the big tuners are still in the prototype phase with their own parts and several cars like the Mines and HKS R35's were said to be running test or prototype versions of the F-Con or VX Tuned Rom.

I overheard Trust talking about their GTR, and they actually say that the car is very difficult to modify and it will be some time before any real performance parts or upgrades are ready.

From what I saw yesterday, the HKS car had the most in the way of obvious visual engine bay changes, but these were only a pair of HKS Sequential BOV's to replace the stockers, a polished hard piping kit and HKS pod filters.

Top Secret GTR looks hotter, with bigger, darker rims it'll be awesome.

The orange R35 is equivalent to a big, oiled up pole-dancer. Too much sex, not enough foreplay.

Smokey is good at foreplay methinks :whistling:

R35 bodykits will be interesting, but i'm DHYING to see what mechanical mods the big tuners will come up with.

Can't wait to hear a 1000hp VR38 blaze through Tsukuba :D

And some Tsuchiya R35 touge videos, maybe even against R32/3/4 GTRs!

Yeah so nothing meaningful yet

Why did Trust say its hard to modify?

Ya. DCD from the UK forums tried to tell Top Secret about the spelling error but there's not much they can do in the midst of Auto Salon so it went on show exactly like that. Except with more hotties standing on it posing. Pics in a sec.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
