id lower, thro on some chrome wheels, carbon fiber hood, a decent kit would go alright, nothing too outrageous simple but different if u get me. Ummm u could go a racing wing, but could look a bit ghey if u went to over the top with it. Dark as legal tinted windows (even with a slight purple tinge to it could look nice).

Just some ideas. New paint would be cool in my opinion but just me, and i know funds are hard, but ur driving a GTR so if your gonna do it do it right from the start??

Hit it up with some stickers like the orange machine up there. Get the xd9's on and hit the paint work with wax after a good wash, Wax it for the next week as often as possable (wash every time in between) will turn the paint into glass finish. Makes everyone look when its reflective.

Another tip, drive at sunset or sunrise as the angle of the sun makes the car look nice.

If its a R33 just get some rear pods and side skirts fitted up and paint them 400r bar at the front will set it off nicely but I rather like the stocker too. will cost about $1000 or less all up.

A massive exhaust will make people look too but I think thats really reserved for rotaries.

put new rims on, carbon fiber hood with some form of fins or something, lower it a little bit, and paint the calipers! (only if you want to i guess, but would stand out more gold or red or something)

kinda cheap for the output imo

Yer defiantly nees a polish....

and got the titanium exhaust tip...

will defiantly paint the calapiers before i get it the wheels on. was thinking red and getting some work anodised wheel nuts in red to match it...?

an air horn goin off will give it some street presence.. also fluro pink..

if you aint gonna paint or stickers like those in the pics.. ain't gonna get the street presence.. but a tasteful GTR has a presence anyway.. some nice wheels and coloured calipers, aftermarket bonnet will give it some appeal and distinctiveness without breaking the bank

i dont know what this kinda thing costs but getting some airbrushing or as you said, using a vinyl would be a cheaper option but not as perfect, to get some graphics on like that of the black 350z in tokyo drift in a subtle color, something close to the color of your car perhaps

I suppose it may be a little "ricey" but can be pulled of very nicely..

You have XD9's which arw a great rim. Why not try the pergormance parts brand name down the front of the doors?

Looks pretty decent if you ask me..

I feel like a bit of a hippocrit though.. I beleive if you dont have the parts in your car.. dont adversite you do have them.. but no one is going to know I suppose.

- put new rims on

- lower it

- look at the simple things, like carbon gt style mirrors

- ensure a nice exhaust note

- offset front plate

- look at BeeR carbon kit extensions - they used to be on their site, basically bolt under your kit and stick out about an inch

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
