Almost there, just have to fit sideskirts on Monday, then fit the wheels to give it the stance.

Colour is a bit trippy depending on daylight and night lights in the workshop...

Will post pics once it rolls out to the street

Have you flared your rear guards yet? You cannot say it's a widebody until the rear and fronts are proportionally flared...also, to give it the fat look, you have to get a GTR spec bonnet and GTR spec front bar...all this adds to the new fat look.

Your colour is unique mate...I call it the Caramel colour! lol Nice!! I wish you chose the GOLD look ....actually looks nicer in my opinion!

quick question for those checking this, mines a GTS-4 so its awd setup...now the front hubs that i got from a gtst dnt suite and wont bolt up for my 5 stud conversion

anyone have any ideas how to fix this, im lookin in ur direction kevin :blink:

Hey mate...I gotta give up here mate...cannot help you there...suggest you post a new thread in the suspension or drivetrain section.

With my GTS4 it came with 5 stud wheel conversion already done - I just turboed it and that was it. Not to demotivate you, be honest mate, after all that hard work...looking back, I think it was cheaper to just go and buy a GTR.

However, if you can build a GTS4-T into a monster then it just adds to the fun! :(

As you know I now have two cars, a GTR and a GTS4-T - I gotta say, I do have a soft spot for my GTS4-T as it was with it that I had spent so much time and money.

Go for it buddy!

Nuh after this build I'll be heading towards and Audi S3...this is just my toy project to get it out of my system as I always wanted to build a car.

As for 5 stud conversion already worked it out I just need a set of HNR32 or BNR32/33/34 knuckles front hubs and Im all good from there.

Dnt worry I realised I could buy either a Nur or N1 engine from Just Jap and have dropped the engine in with the amount I've spent so far...but I did bodywork...so eh its already been done. As I said I'd have always bought a GTR but I wudnt have been able to drive in for 3 years cause I'm on my P's still til next August...

Here's some of the new photos

As for focusing on the flares, what sort of shots do you want?

This is the rear guard from PSI Parts

Hi Daniel - haven't been on here for a while...great to see your car has been finished and is now on the road...looks good buddy...

The colour is (as I had predicted) - changing a bit, getting darker which is tough as it was too yellowy at the start for my liking - looks really good mate.

Love everything about it - except for the front bar - I suggest you get a Do-Luck front bar and it would complete the look nicely.

Looking good mate - so what's next?

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
