Was driving my R35 in Gold Coast, QLD last night. R34 pulls up and I could tell immediately he wanted me to give it a little.

My girlfriend was in the car, so I couldn't. If she wasn't, I would have only punched it to the speed limit then stopped, don't worry guys.

To my surprise, the R34 simply tails behind. Like he was stalking me. I just assumed he wanted a good look to the new model.

I was wrong. He eventually gave up waiting for me to give it some, so he took off without me.

HOLY SHIT. It was spraying rubber. He literally had a few little chucks of rubber fly from his tires on to my windscreen. His R34 would have absolutely demolished me if I had ever given it some.

He had a shaved head, the R34 was loud, smokey, little bit scary, no rear spoiler, some sort of roll cage, white and I found a new respect for the older generation R34.

Thank you, R34 driver.

Nice to see that you take your own advice after the lectures you deliver Richard :yes:

Hi Terry, I'm not sure what you mean by lectures I have given?

To the others, no, I won't think I am safe.

this thing spat rubber. Was that insane. Do you think it was built as a drag car or something? No spoiler and all.

Hi Terry, I'm not sure what you mean by lectures I have given?

Rule #5 from the CEO of vroomvroomvroom.com says "Be entrepreneurial within your own idea" and not digress too much > You stayed within your own realm of an R35 and did not get tempted to take on a hawt R34 GT-R hehe...

Old thread but was this at the back of Carrara, EVERYTHING about this says it was me....

I was driving back to Brisbane from Surfers. Looking at google maps, it looks like I need to pass through Carrara to get there. So yes, it most likely was you. Was that a roll cage? No spoiler?

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
