lol @ one of Alvin's defect reasons...

"Rear spoiler mounts are too sharp"

In case you hit a pedestrian while reversing backwards?

2. I'm not even going to reply to the color suggestion request, since it won't be one of our suggestions anyway.

1. There's only so many colours, if enough are named it will likely be one of the suggestions

2. I do hate some people who ask for opinions when they've already made their mind up...though some people wanna be assured by others they have made a good choice...I hate the ones who do it and go against what everyone has suggested

3. I was thinking of a metallic blue or dark purple which have been suggested :)

Cheers for the info re: gtst and gtr, hence my question as to how different they really are when fully set up

Which seems hard. For what its worth I wenT WOT from 0kmh with 375rwkw and had traction in first which was rather suprising. Howvever around a corner is considerably less likely.

Scotty would know how much of a stickler I am for the stealth look. If someone was just looking to buy a rb28 neo I'd sell them mine.

As for r33 colours, go get House of Kolor's Galaxy Grey. Someone did a drag r33 with this colour and it is fantastic. I asked about it for my r34 before the convo subject changed to 'prepare for write off'

I'm not buying a legit 375rwkw with traction in first unless you were running drag slicks!

Same colour. Unless you are doing bay, door jams etc, in which case MNP

Don't wanna do same colour cause to me that's always been like spending a few thousand on having it look slightly better than before. I like to justify the expense by doing a colour you can't get that model of car in, so that it's more a modification than a repair.

My current favourite contender is this, which I think is dark metallic blue running slightly into dark purple.

These things come in all sorts of custom colours, including this blue, which is quite striking but may be over the top for a non supercar?

Anyway, keep the suggestions coming and feel free to show pictures! I'm pretty open at this stage, though a blue or red or any colour that 33s don't normally come in has good odds. It would have to be a damn good silver to make me want to respray same colour.

The Auto helped a lot, big semis, stock stall converter, softish rear... I drove it and was seriously impressed, especially with the auto controller. Damn shame it didn't last...

Why there was no footage of the drift day that killed my spare tyres Greg? I am quite sure it wasn't hooking up then...

Time for a c34 Stagea shell mate. You have all the good bits for it already. :P

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
