Hey guys thought I would give you a bit of an update....

I have started project wide body.... WOO HOO

In my travels I have managed to acquire some bitchin guard equipment....

For the front, thru a trade with one of my fellow prince gt car club members, I managed to score a set of factory guards that have been seriously pumped......about 4 inches we measured at (twice the size of marv's guards

And for the rears I have picked up a set of wide body flares that came of a Porche (yeah I know).... but have very similar lines to a 32 gtr and the rear guards will be anywhere from 3.5 to 4 once I work them onto the shell.

I will have to split the flare so one part is on the door and the other is attached to the guard bit like (heaven forbid) a SLR 5000 style flare

Mate or mine brought down a 17 x9 standard r32 gtst off set volk with 255 fitted..., we were even able to fit the 255 under the front but I will be probly looking at a 235/245 front to be safe.

Needless to say the pics sort of speak for themselves....

The pics below are only to give you a rough idea of wot to expect when you see the beast on the streets again....

AND TO ANY ONE THAT HAS ANY 16X9, 16X8 laying round drop me a line..... I am interested in looking for a set to drop under the beast.......

Cheers, Pete :D

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • 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
