then the normal mods followed hks dump and front pipe, full titanium cat back, bilstein adjustable shocks and cusco springs all round.

Then a new front lip

Just after fitting this on the way to work i hit a roo. It put an end to the lip bumper, bonnet and grill. So i decided after looking for bits for sale i found a full gtr n1 front end for sale. All the work was done by all type crash in Adelaide to get everything right. however it did not come with a genuine front bar instead a huge after market one that did not look to good. I found the headlights on ebay.

So the enkeis that i had only just purchased were far to small to fill the new front gaurds

so i was on the hunt for new wheels again.

whilst visiting some local importers i purchased a power fc and gtr wing.

i found a new Trust bar for sale yes i know it a fibreglass copy but it looked better then what was on there and fitted the gtr wing

The new wheels arrived 5zigen gn race pros however 17x9.5 +17 whilst fitting fine on the front were 6cms out on the back with my choice of tire being a 255 40 17 r888

with some work and help from my old man we managed to get the 6cms out of the gaurds whilst still retaining the flat lip on the edge

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
