People, check with your insurers first. I was going to get these for my MR2 but Just Car said they dont cover scissor doors or carbon bonnets for that matter.

I do like them but just didnt get them because of this reason. Id say youd have worse luck with the likes of NRMA or AAMI covering these aswell.

Also make sure your passanger is fully aware of the scissor doors as the brackets can bend if pulled open too far, ive been there before, LOL

Just because they do not cover it doesnt mean you cant have it on the car..

I called them and asked about a CF bonnet as my GTR bonnet was damaged in a hail storm. They told me I was allowed to put in on the car and there wont be any problems but if I am in an accident or some thing happens to the bonnet they will replace it with a standard bonnet.

So when they say "they dont cover it", they usually mean they will replace with standard if a claim is made.

Yeah im definately interested thats why i started this thread up, good to see more people are interested as i just hear rice rice rice when i talk about it, need to save up some cash though, but if the cops do see us opening the full doors and we dont see them and get defected, we would have to put the standard doors back on which is gonna be a bitch to do because installation isnt so easy.. got any pictures of these bespoke Carbon fibre parts?

Some kits out there claim to be fully reversable. However they dont mention how easy/hard it is the reverse it.

These are hot off the production line as we speak. R33 GTST Series 2 Carbon Gear surrounds. Ignore the yellow bits around the Cigarette lighter aperture. That is residue polish. More interior parts to follow.

Any plans for any R32 parts Terry?

We have plans to do the whole interior for R32, R33, R34 and the New GTR when we get our hands on one. All models will be catered for included GTST, GTR and GTT.

If you do the whole interior and sits flush like the stock parts then im in for sure.

They are a direct copy of the original, as we send off the parts to the factory and take a mould from it. The gear surround as you see above is made from a fiberglass shell and then covered with genuine grade A carbon fibre. Then fade resistant laquer applied.

Any timeframe on when the whole interior for R32 Gts-t will be ready? Im not very patient lol

Hoping within the next couple of months, depends on interest really. Only had 15 views on ebay for the R33 GTST/GTR gear surrounds which is pretty poor.

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
