Swung past the paint shop to take some photos.

Cars so white its hard to see the lines.

Very bright, very happy.

Got some 18x10 panasports and thinking about selling my old ones.

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.

The office also finally got the outside painted20170617_135559.thumb.jpg.2d31d5477eea7af2bd30d216fce71361.jpg

Just little steps that make the difference.

Also picked up a set of high vis rb26 covers that we had painted for a customers car20170622_103759.thumb.jpg.9b80bf8a5b2c53133fe9bcfee0f11e0a.jpg

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

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

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      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.

      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
