I've always had a love for cars, I loved my 1987 Supra before this , enough to have a badly paying job yet dedicate my life to pouring all my money and every weekend to it for 2 years even after people told me to give up and scrap it. I pushed on to no avail as my 7MGTE finally let go but...

Ive never ever loved a car like this. My 1997 Skyline R33 series 2 stirs emotions inside me that I thought nothing could.

The beautiful lines of my r33 , that aggressive stance , those signature hotplate lights...they all send tingles down my spine.

The gurgle of the RB , its seamless torque as it pulls all the way to redline , the sound of my engine honestly sends shivers down my spine and gives me literal goosebumps. Nothing sounds like an RB, you can hear it coming a mile away.

I've never felt so intensely about a car before , Ive never had so much admiration for the build quality , for the power it seems to have throughout the entire rev range. The ability it has to change direction with the twitch of the steering wheel. How easily the back flips out but just as easyily pulls back in. That additive pull when it comes on boost , the whoose of the bov as it vents.

I caress every curve as I wash it every Saturday and sit back and admire it...I didnt know it was possible to have a feeling like this towards an inanimate object.

And to think...I havn't even driven a GTR yet!

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
