Baron 25, Yeh thats why I would like to look at getting the original bar, as it would add that icing on the cake!

MP_R33, its one of the cars for sure that you either love it or hate it!!

Found out the GTR is not a VSpec, but a special edition Veilside Built GTR.It has the Evolution WideBody Kit, Veilside Exhaust,Veilside Strut Brace and Veilside ECU, Brembos and Nismo LMGT 1 18" Wheels.

Pretty good find I reckon:)

shame it's missing the veilside andrew wheels and the veilside front bar. cars like that are really only worth something serious if they are original. but providing the bodywork underneath the kit is ok it would still be worth as much as a nice clean 32 GTR which is good. I just hope you didn't pay a premium for it.

it certainly is *cough 'different' looking.....

personally though if we are talking veilside GTRs I would only want one of their nicer widebody 32s, or maybe their drag car. some piscs from last time I was there. There is a pic of your kit too (well what it should look like). I took these pics last time I was at veilide in japan. they have probably a dozen or more wide body 32s lying around the place, some just rotting away outside in the back carpark...

this is the one to get really. much nicer wide guards rather than the garish stick on flares they used on the other version.

check out the size and offset of the wheels they fit to the full widebody 32s.... nice.

WOW, that yellow GTR is crazy!! Couldnt agree with your more that they are a better look than the one I picked up, but cant be too fussy now can we:)

Will be looking to source and original front bar to finish it off,I know they are very "cough" different looking, but it looks so much better in the flesh:)

Will post pics up on the weekend after I have spent a few days going over it from top to bottom, and as far as price goes, you wouldnt believe how much I pciked it up for;) The market is crazy at the moment!!

yeah, don't get me wrong. they are still cool. :banana: just not really to my taste.

I'm sure you will love it mate, and no doubt it's different from the other masses of GTR. I would definately get the front bar and the wheels to make it sort of complete again.

veilsides shop in japan is awesome and they have some super cool cars there. a friend of mine bought 2 of their FDs that they made for the tokyo drift fast and furious movie. now they were cool!

Oh Shit, that be sweet:)

Yeh I will definately be looking to finish of the package and turn this thing into a great daily driver, power reliability and, I was going to say great looks, but how about we agree with different look!!

I actually really like it and its growing on me more and more, but i also totally get its not everyones cup of tea:)

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
