Just sharin' > Enjoy...

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

Hi Terry,

I have a 2000 Black R34 GTR V-Spec as well... being on the look out for some nice wheels in a year or so time .."saving for a set of GT-SS hairdryers at the moment :rolleyes: "

but i think the Rays RE30 in Titanium is just awesome on black GTR....do they come in Silver as well...

Always though the 18inch will look a bit small on the GTR for RE30.... guess not

Would love some Nismo GT4 in silver for the car... but way out of my price range... not a big fan of the bronze on black R34 GTR... would look killer on the BBlue...however..

either way.....excellent cars...photos

Hey Kushil,

We've still got the RE30s if you want to check them out. They're 18x9.5 +15 with 265 35 ZR18 Bridgestone RE001s on them. They're Formula Silver with the Diamond cut rim - check out the Rays Website: http://www.rayswheel....jp/indexe.html. The other colours were Chrome Silver and Bronze for the RE30.

Cheers

Matt

Looks amazing terry!! How long did it take him to do you car??

Michael, he started at 10.30am and finished at 8.15.

Eugene is meticulous! It helps when you have the passion. :thumbsup:

Eugene also tested the paint thickness before the polishing stage, and came up with this!...

EugeneDetail14.jpg

Usually, Nissan Skyline GT-R paint is between 80-120 microns thick on the bodywork, but my car registered around 323 microns.

He assumed that because that thickness was on every panel (the C/F bonnet can't be tested, because the machine measures between metal to metal), the whole car had been resprayed. The detail was done on 18/6/11.

Now here's the interesting part.

Todd from JapLink emailed his mechanic in Nara the technician who sourced my car late last year.

The reply that night, 20/6/11, confirmed that my car had never been in an accident (which I already knew), but that...

R34 GT-Rs in Bayside Blue have 4 coats of paint - not 2 (or 3 in the case of chromemulsion MP paint). They have 2x base coats and 2 top coats before the clear.

Additionally, my car had the 'glass paint treatment' from the original owner, and this explains why the paint is so thick on my car.

Even GT-Ts in Bayside Blue only have 2 coats of paint. So only the Bayside Blue GT-Rs have 4 coats.

Peter owner of BodyformAero also mentioned that the Bayside Blue GT-R had a thicker base coat (info that he'd sourced separately).

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
    • Echo the awesome sentiment 👍 Definitely a car worth saving. Looking forward to seeing updates as well.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
