1x Family + 2x R34 GT-Rs + 3x Sets of Wheels

Perhaps over time, God_speed and myself can post up some more pics - especially when the 3rd set of wheels come back from gutter rash repair.

The 2 cars are * a neat Pearl Black Standard R34 GT-R circa 2000 & * a yet to be polished Bayside Blue V-Spec II R34 GT-R circa 2001

We'll try out different combinations of Car 'n Wheels over time too.

The 3 sets of Wheels are * Rays RE30 in Titanium (offset +15, 10") * Advan RG30 in Gold/Blue (offset +12, 10") * Nismo LMGT4 in Bronze (offset +12, 10.5") all 18s

This is one of my fav shots. Getting detail from a black car and a white car at the same time under the light we had a bit of fun.

Many thanks Matt and Nathan for your comments :cheers:

Matthew and I very much appreciate the Matthew Everingham & Kory Leung artistry of optimising the looks of the R34 GT-R.

Here are some more...

The Blue one has yet to have its V-Spec springs to come out from Japan > reinstal

The Black one had an aftermarket (JDM Performance) rear C/F diffuser put on by Peter at Bodyform Aero; and brackets were fabricated to suit. It uses Tanabe springs.

Hey Terry,

Sweet cars you have there :)

Did you buy the bayside blue one with the huge wing like that? Maybe i'm used to looking at the black one but i don't think the Advans suit the bayside blue one for some reason. I've probably been staring at your (Matt's) car for too long hahaha.

Good to see you taking photos of the cars. Take more!!!!!!!

Thanks Kory for your input. I'll try and keep away from any association with pink badges on a blue STi with gold rims lol

Just offering some more...

Thanks everyone for the feedback. And Matt - that pic of the black and white R34s is magic - I can imagine that a fair amount of work went into getting the exposure just right. Backdrop is awesome as well.

I reckon once it's lowered (and should Terry decide to put the original rear wing back on - it came out from Japan with the carbon fibre coffee table) it'll look the goods :) To be modest, :P I think the combination of Bayside + gold RGs will also look more unique than my black BNR34 with the RE30s. I initially wasn't sure what to make of the RE30s on the BNR34, as I chose them for my BCNR33, but the look has grown on me

Ta - Thanks for the flattering but genuinely offered comment on these cars guys.

However, for some time afterwards, we might just post up anything we find interesting...

Ergonomically, these cars are not as driver-oriented as the Supra/4th Gen Prelude/E39-E46 BMW, but driver controls are acceptable.

Nismo bar is more aggressive looking than the standard one.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
