my 31 silhouette is wearing some 17 inch, 4 stud watanabe rs-8's

i got the dayz front bumper on my stagea with the carbon filler bit too, and r34 brakes (which are quite hard to find these days)

oh, and my staega came from the factory with a clutch pedal :)

Mines just got a HKS EDA (electronic drag adaptor) and a TSC, but also a mystery Kansai Service box with a toogle switch on it that seems to plug into the G sensor.

Both my R32 and R33 have the electric front air dam that drops down from under the front bumper. The R32 is wired to be down at all times unless I need to lift it to gain ground clearance a bad driveway etc.

I will set the R33 one up in the same manor

My r32 has this too! Never knew r33's came with it?

Car also came with an outline of an air purifier on the parcel shelf and some fan setting buttons near the steering wheel. Guess it was ripped out in Japan before i got it.

If you are used to BMWs this may seem rare, but it is a standard feature on many japanese cars, because they are not wired by europeans...... :ermm:

I have a Nismo Fibreglass intercooler air guide (Which Just Jap photographed to see how it all fitted etc)

Genuine N1 front vents and side skirts,

Coilpack cover has "powered by Nismo 24 Valve" or similar written on it.

Not a rare part but certainly creates some speculation... Roof has been repaired in 2 spots about 15x10cm directly above the doors exactly the same spot on both sides, also appears to be the same place as where the light bar sat on the pace car used in Aus (and cop cars in Japan..) also has had bonnet pins, and 2 harnesses, but stock suspension and still original ECU and no other repair work

You're the only other person i know with that plate, i also have it:

i dont know if these are rare or not but meh, deal with it

factory pioneer sound system with factory cd stacker in the boot

factory fog light switch on the center console

factory "type m" sticker on the boot

R33 Gts-t S2 in Nismo red! dont see many in that colour, and my plates are rare too, think thats it :D

Mine is Nismo Red as well (Its actually called "Super Clear Red II" or something), Ive only ever seen 1 other in the 10 years Ive owned my 33, plenty of maroon ones though

And white LMGT2 Rims.......Now minus wheel caps Grrrrrrrrrrrrr, not unusual but a little rare

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
