Test fit shows they sit perfectly but need some decent tyres on them.

Currently 245/45/18 thinking 265/35/18

These will be pulled apart to have the centers painted Ferrari grey charcoal.

So no really big updates with the car at the moment however the workshop has been receiving some much needed love.

New top and bottom bolts for the bonnet support bracket.

Everything that can be replaced with new will be on this car, if i can't get it new it will be restored as close to factory as possible.

Finished this gtr off the other day has a few nice bits and makes good power now.20170703_095211.thumb.jpg.7424da0c3b42063d07b0651c5fbdac92.jpg

As i get older the enjoyment of a quiet well handleing ride brings me enjoyment.

The whole car is going to be convered in a layer of dynamat on the roof and doors therr will also be a layer of dynaliner on top of that to keep the heat down.20170705_190227.thumb.jpg.5832c1352ee4df3ff92e13e8760e6966.jpg

    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
