nice car, adam sent me the link to it when he was looking for his new one.

please, whatever you do, don't mess up the wheel fitment - that car has potential to look HOT, pm me if you need help making them fit nicely :thumbsup:

Got the report today, some little cosmetic issues need attention- leather on shift knob has peeled away, rear sunroof inop, a couple of scratches.

I just need to get the car so i can decide whether i can just do springs or if i go the whole hog and do coilovers instead. TEIN are on special brand new on flea bay.

Hey GSR600guy, Did you get yours done by ken from stateroads..the inspection? He did a black stagea at Nagoya for me today and when I called he said he was currently doing another one. He seemed to be very harsh on some little things yet oblivious to other's. Had no idea and thought I was a madman when I asked if it was a dayz edition, nor as to why i would be looking in the sunroof for rust. Also, would not believe me that some stageas came stock with tien thus him writing on the report that it wont pass roadworthy in some states.

Be good to know how you felt about his reporting...If that is the same guy haha.

same guy, report seemed fairly good. when i rang him to ask about specific items(like the receptionist advised me) he seemed annoyed. he mentioned some stuff that i wanted to follow up on like a vac switching valve inop, just didn't seem to want to be bothered. that said the report is pretty comprehensive and i'm glad it got done. the photos on car point deliberately didn't show some bad scratches to the kit, the torn leather or the pod filter. overall i'm happy tho.

Yeah i felt the same way. When he answered the phone and I said. His it's Scott i had, you inspect the stagea today. His response was.. yes? So from there i sorta knew it was going to be hand to extract finer detials out of him. But like you said, glad i got the report done. Bit dissapointed in the photos they provided though..poor quality. Though Nagoya told me the car didn't have any rust under the mirrors. Which both sides had very visible bubbling. So he(nagoya) lied there which i wasnt happy about.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
