Modifying a GTR is like an addiction, and in my case I was becoming a junkie!

Before long, I was at it again. I will let the pictures below tell the story....

The inspiration was the Z Tune. The modifications were obvious to the astute observer, however, here is the list below:

Nismo R Tune carbon bonnet

Nismo Z Tune front guards and front bumper

Nismo Air intake piping and air duct

Nismo Z Tune intercooler

Nismo side skirt and rear spats

Nismo GT urethane gear knob

Nismo MFD II

Superior carbon dash cover

All Nismo items were genuine, therefore they were no issues with fitment and finish.

A Power FC retune yielded a slight increase in maximum power output, possibly due to larger intercooler:

I will keep this thread alive by updating periodically

Thanks for compliments everyone. But did someone mention wheels?

Self confession - I am a wheel whore

The gunmetal Nismo LMGT4s are limited edition 2005 model with centre cap to replicate GT series GTR.

More goodies to come....

Can you tell me the color code for the Volk mags? iv got bronze Advanti mags but they aren't a very nice shade anymore. :blush:

Would greatly appreciate it thanks.

Edited by R34 -_-

Pics of LMGT4s fitted with Bridgestone RE010R 265/35 R18 tyres. The Bridgestones are way better than the Hankooks.

I ended up selling the TE37s to another forum member before I had a chance to even trial fit them.

Deep down, I regret selling those TE37s; I would still really like to own a set of 19" TE37s but 10.5" in width and with a more aggressive offset.....

I agree that the TE37s, LMGT4s and Ce28Ns suit the GTR to perfection!

Unlike what the topic of the thread suggests, so far I have not shown anything about a RB28 or V Cam!

Here's a teaser pic of what's installed (plus a few extra bits not shown):

Details of parts list will be posted over the weekend.

    • Saw this video today from Adam LZ.    Long story short is he is claiming that the load from the engine fan once the fan clutch heats up(engaged) is increasing the getrag rattle(at idle) when you don't have a dual mass flywheel.  Before I go buying an electric fan setup .... Anyone heard of this ?    I must admit when my car is cold the getrag is pretty quiet and I do notice the rattle after it is all warmed up. I've always assumed this is due to the gearbox oil temp and tolerances of metal.       
    • Yep it sure does.   Tone wheel lines up in the same spot perfectly.    
    • Something I meant to say when we were chatting the other night about having an open trailer floor being great to work on a car, but you've never used the feature... It's a great place to park a car after doing suspension component changes, and do the tightening of all the bushes with the car sitting at full ride height. Especially when you don't have a 4 post hoist!
    • That is way more science than even I would use. I just eyeball it, not even accounting for the non-verticality of the tape measure when held on the lip and the centre at the same time. +/- 2mm is good enough for the girls I go out with.
    • So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.
