Firstly, f**k you. Your car looks f**king mint, and now I don't want to sell my silver 32 4-door.... -_-

As for the rims, go the penny... or personally, I'd paint the centres black... much easier to maintain... cleaning brake dust out of spokes is a real pain in the arse. Oh, and surely you can rip that 20 out? everyone knows the best cheap upgrade for a 20 is a 25 ;)

I'll be following your build, keep up the good work mate.

haha thanks!

i was going to get the centres copper plated but it wasnt worth it.

and, the 20 wont be in for long.. RB26 no shit!

have decided not to go RB26/30 as itll be a bitch to engineer, at least i can buy a written off, or non complaible GTR and transfer all the guts, by all of the guts i mean all sub frames etc making the car a proper GTB4 replica.

Might be a dumb question but when you say dog legs, which parts are you talking about?

Edit: looked back through your earlier pics and see what you meant now. Will have a look tonight.

Yeah the kit is pretty f**king average! Did your's not line up from the rear door to the leading edge of the rear 1/4?

It looks like I'm going to have to build up where the door cover meets the door at the rear edge to push it out to where it needs to be.

I wont steal your thunder anymore, but expect to be hearing from me again asking for advice, lol!

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
