Sorry! but don't agree. What's so special about the STOCK STANDARD front, with big headlights & grille.

How is it better with this nose piece and better than PJR cars

Anybody catch the car, right at the rear of 2001 Kanagawa Kitagawa on page 6.

The iron mask h/lights & grille with stock bonnet and cut down 3 row grille.

ALSO! anybody else got thoughts as to Iron Mask or Stock front, which is more appealing/sporty etc

>what is up with that??? did you see this one? see what this blokes holding?????

Haha,no one's going to give him s**t about owning a 4 door!

Ghostrider,can't find the one you're talking about? Did you see this one? Early model grille and lights,later everything else! Looks ok I think!

I reckon the ironmask fronts are the best looking,but having said that,early fronts with the slat grille,and flares on 'em,like race replicars look fat!

That's the one, but think I get into photo shop and see what I can create as a look. I have pics of my stock PNV and IM. Interesting thought?????

When I first bought my HR30,I planned to slice the nose off the gaurds,and try and adapt an HR31 nose to it.....

Here's a thought,does the iron mask front look better cause it makes them look more like HR31's?   :)  

 :flamed:    flame suit on...

when i was looking for the headlights for mine i got to a point of seeing if i could rig up those parabolic gts-x lights you can get but found the iron masks instead. :kick:

how would those flares go with the RTA over here as they aid in the r32 gtr front brake spacer problems?

I think this looks mean and should be no problem with RTA.

As for R32 brakes, I have 16 x 7's on front and when I put the spacers in to clear the calliper, I'm going to widen the wheels IN, (make a new wider inner rim) an inch, giving me 8's all round and same front track.

Getting back to mean!!! I would like to stay a little STEALTH looking, don't want to attract to much police attention.

Little story for you to consider:

A friend, he is 64 and owns 3 Ford GT's, 1968 XR, 1970 XW phase 2 and 1971 XY phase 3 shaker.

He can drive either of the XR or XW through Sydney at any speed, he has driven the XR at 150 kph in a 60 zone and not a cop to be found, but when in the XY ph3 shaker, cops come out of holes in the ground, hang out of trees, sit up his arse, just hang off the car literally.

It's just the presence the car creates, very similar in our case if a mean streeter.

Just for interest sake, he recently turned down an offer of 1/2 million for the 3.

How many of these would you find having less than 20K genuine each?

I like that idea Ghostrider

Phat,

Just been quoted $160 freight to get those bits to you and as you might guess, I bloody nearly fell off the chair, so I have organised something with a transport company I work for and it might take about a week to get there but it won't cost $160 either.

Will pack it on the weekend and get it organised. Freight might be as much as $NIL, but won't know until after sent.

Will let you know further when I know.

You want it delivered to the office or ????? PM me and let me know.

As for the look, I have a damaged iron mask grille, so playing with it won't be too costly and my main thoughts are the angle of slant on the inside edge on both lights, if same, no problem.

Will post results after photoshop work done.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
