Here's today's efforts, we have stood around for the last 3hrs having a few beers appreciating our last 2 and 1/2 years + of effort and myself, my brother and the old boy are extremely proud of this car and $200 000 + later, it is worth every cent and probably wouldn't change a thing on it and I must say for a backyarder shed job it would have to be the best R32 GTR i have ever witnessed personally and can't wait to go toe to toe with the worlds best. I still can't believe how awesome this machine looks it makes the R33 look like shit hahaha!!!!! A few more things like the carbon aerolatches and the doors skins and windscreen wipers are about all thats left and a good day of cleaning it and its ready for the photoshoot, hopefully gracing the cover of HPI Magazine very soon. The first person who scratches this car my old man with probably kill them but at the end of the day this car was made to break records and hopefully the R32 will deliver ...as long as the driver has it all under control, 8.7sec here we come. P.S for those that are curious the back of the car is 10mm higher than the front, it was just the un-even ground the car was parked on that why it looked weird thumbsup.gif.

Here's some more pics:

AME Tracer TM-02 19x9.5 +22 with Advan AD08 275/30 R19

i was always of the opinion that 19's were too big for an r32, that is, until i picked up my replacement r32 & after looking at your pics as well as the gun metal r32gtr garage saurus with carbon panels...it really confirms for me that 19's are the way to go!

looks awesome mate. I love it. makes me think my next GTR will be white too. I had a nice white 32 a few years back and always had a bit of a soft spot for them. hope it runs fast like you want it too. :)

    • Kittens in first to claim dominance of the residence, then puppies later From past experience, the other way around can be problematic to say the least  Those weird "Dobby looking"  little kittens are not cheap....LOL
    • At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha
    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
