Very nice !!! just curious why you didn't go with the Top Secret side skirts like everything else, i think they look a hell of a lot better then anything else on the market they seam to flow with the lines of the 34 where as the nismo or nismo style make the car to boxy looking .

Thanks a bunch!

The Top Secret side skirts you mentioned aren't really side skirts at all. They're sold as side protectors on their website. The reason why I didn't go with them is because they only run up 1/3 the side of the car and only the rear portion. It didn't seem like there was anything extra on the sides. I wanted flow from the front diffuser to the side skirts. =)

Here's a picture of them before they are fitted.

This is what it looks like on the car.

Looks great!

The Top Secret rear Spats like the Nismo side skirts for the R32 GTR looks nice too.

But still your carbon fibre one looks just as good.

+ you got some sweet ass deep lip on the TE37's.

*laughs* Thanks, they're 19" 9.5jj. I've got a friend who just got 19" 10.5jj in bronze. Should be a little more deeper. Will get some shots .

Yeah definitely the z-tune skirts look better, its an addition rather than the top secret ones which look like they were just stuck on.

big fan of your car dark child!! thanks for the inspiration

Thanks Johnny! Do share some pictures of how your ride it coming along. :)

Some day time shots I snapped quickly today.

Here are a couple more shots a friend of mine took today in the day time.

He says I have a carbon obsession and that I should get the doors, fenders, trunk and complete wing in them too. :banana: Painted of course.

you sir, have a severe case of the carbonitis.

I'm guessing the rear diffuser is kevlar though?

*laughs*

The Top Secret Rear Diffuser is a carbon fiber item, the Top Secret Vortex Generators on each side, on the other hand, are kevlar. A little contrast from the carbon bits. :)

Thats the best white r34 gtr ive ever seen. Dont know what else you could do to it great work..

Thanks! :banana:

I had the Do Luck fenders in mind actually as the Top Secret bumper is very round. :mellow:

Thanks guys! I'm sure you have equally awesome rides.

Yeah the Do-Luck fenders look pretty cool with the vent on the side.

But I still like the Z-Tune with vent at the top corner.

If not, go Sunline Racing front guards as they are based on the Z-Tune but a bit more aggressive.

Top Secret Front bar is like a Nismo Front bar but a few edges have rounded off but the opening for the FMIC looks great on it tho as it fits so perfect around it.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
