Only thing I still need to get is the roll cage and then it'll be down to suspension upgrades and engine conversion for end of next year

I'm subscribed to this thread. I like your idea mate...but I'm just worried that all that 'mixing and matching' of bodykit parts will make the car look wierd...I've never mix and matched parts before so I don't know but fingers cross it will look nice. You should have gone Do Luck front bar or 400R front bar...as all the other areas are a bit 'extreme' and yet the GTR front bar is probably going to look to tamed for the rest of the car.

However, it's coming along nicely mate...good luck with everything...

Damn....Daniel, you're going full ball with this, aren't you...make sure you pace yourself...modifying your car too quickly can cost a shitload and ruin your love for your car as you'll get bored when it's all done and you've driven it around a few months...slowly slowly mate...if your car is a GTS4 - make sure you Rb26DET and turbo kit the f**kaah! :(

This is Stage 1 about to be complete Kevin, then yes most likely RB26 will get dropped in end of next year or 2011 so project will be continuing...then possibly onto a drift car after so I wont get bored lol

Kevin only reason I had the Do Luck skirts was to put the carbon lip on them, you'll see what I mean when its done...and the 400R Rear Bar is just so its a bit lower at the back end of the car

mate, it's going to rock...make sure you pace yourself.

All good don't worry funding will run out after a while and I'll have to save up again so it won't be done in a hurry. Havent seen any pics of your car at all Kevin...could you PM me yours wouldnt mind checking it out as I see your post a fair bit I'm sure your well into your build?

hi mate, my gtr is at the workshop getting tuned with new performance mods. Cosmetically, it is just a r33 gtr vspec with a genuine Nismo 400r front bar, that's it. Doesn't stand out too much. I'm actually doing the opposite to you, I am after a stealthy look. have taken off all my badges too.

New pictures of car before and after shots, and also how the colour varies in different lights.

Body prepped and ready to paint

At night under factory lights the car looks gold

Other pics will be up end of the week once car has been fitted and new wheels and parts installed

Its like a copper bronze, cause Top Secrets a bit to light...but as i said under different light it looks totally different, cant wait to see what it looks like when its out of the booth on the road though cause that'll be the true colour for it

Nice colour choice...whether it's pretty or not, one thing is I've never seen another Skyline with this colour on the roads!

You do realise that after the paint dries properly, it will slightly change and then set - this will be it's actual colour thereafter.

Remember to give it good drying time mate...there's no rush...I suppose.

It will be sitting in the shop for a week before it comes out into the sun, it already sat in highfill for a week after that was done...gives the paint time to harden.

This is also why i went to DNA Paints to get something different from the normal, black, white, silver, red, blue, green, orange, purple sort of colours, at least u'll know u spotted me on the roads, most likely nepean or prinny hwy or in sth east area.

Yeah mate...cannot wait...you'll be noticeable that's for sure.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
