Good to see the build is coming along nicely!!!

Yep, tyres fit the wheels sweet! :D

Thanks mate, the tyres stand up pretty much straight with the rims so they are very similar to the 265's, but due to lowering from 4x4 spec i am going to need to roll the guards as you can see, will be my first attempt so wish me luck :)

Yeah i finally THOUGHT i had finished my build but as you can see above, some things didnt go to plan :( The clutch was always going to be a limiting factor but i thought it would hold up for more than a couple of weeks, the coilovers were a bit of a surprise failure too which put a damper on things (pun intended :P)

Have you got a build thread on your beast? Who is doing it for you?

Like i said to a few others, i could have purchased a 400kw car for less than i have spent on the mods BUT mine is done my way and is a one of a kind :) I am happy with it even though its been a long painful road.

Yeh i guess it's expected, sometimes you hold out and see if current mods will be fine, and why not you hear all sorts of stories.

shame with the coil overs though.

you don't get the same feeling purchasing something already done, just knowing you have customised it to suit you is enough for me :)

and your car looks beautiful. so you have done very well.

yeh I started short thread just under yours at the moment. small updates here and there

looking good matt, are you going to replace the E sensor or try to fix it?

Yet to diagnose mate, JEM havent seen the car since the problem so anything i say would just be guessing..... Will know as soon as they get a look in :)

We suspected the clutch would go, just failed in epic style (story of my life i guess lol)... Coilovers were a surprise though!

Thanks mate, it makes it more rewarding when others can appreciate the hard work and expense that goes into these things! Been a long road, cant wait to have the issues ironed out and enjoy the car :D

Ill have a look mate! :thumbsup:

righto. Keen to see someone try the new haltech E sensor to see if there any good...If yours need replacin and you want to be a guinee pig lol

yeh that's exactly right, you've done well..

when did you start with the car anyway?

there's always a dodgy batch or 2 of something somewhere

Thanks mate, the build took 2 years due to some financial drama with a big loss on a rental property etc...... Really should have been about 6mths of work and sourcing parts etc.......

Will be all done soon ;)

All good buddy, Kurtis is going to beat me to it as him and Jez have had the drama with his car so we will wait and see which path he takes :D

And to clarify, i am not having the same problem as Kurtis but it does seem to be similar in ways, once again i dont want to say too much until JEM has a look as i know they will sort it out, i just break stuff :P

what matters is where you are now! @% will always happen.

Your wheels look like they were made for your car!

Haha thanks, they were silver but they were gutter rashed so i got them fixed up and coated black to match the engine bay! Hardly see XT7's around.

has turnt into a great all round package, any future plans with bodykit? maybe a GTRish front spoiler?

Yeah should be mate! Not sure about cosmetics as yet, always wanted a GTR front buit then saw one and it just looked awkward..... Maybe another bar later but for now its going to be function over form :D

broad minded person I love your engine bay...and your cars engine bay as well

Hahaha nice! And yeah the car goes alright too :P

Yeh, Dunno something looks different. in a good way ofcourse!

Nope, just the way they come off the showroom floor..........Apart from the custom stone chips :P

I am not a huge fan of the Nismo style kit that they came out with, some people love it but i prefer the plain look.

Havent had any major issues with police attention as it doesnt look like anything special :)

i agree, you dont want to get too much attention, only draws problems from police and thiefs etc.. thats why i prefer the GTR spoilers and parts cause i think they retain a subtle factory look still,( so to speak) also alot of bodykits become a pain with scraping and cracking which brings down the quality of the package..

it looks good.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
