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).

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
