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?

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
