the mods have started . first mod was to fit the R34 GTR front end , I've always loved Stagea's but never liked the fronts on C34, that was quickly fixed by the front swap, comprising of :

genuine R34 GTR bonnet, front bar and headlights, Modified R34 GTR reo, and Masa motorsports conversion guards :

the front was dontated from a C34 front cut that had already had the swap in Japan. The same car also donated its Fujitsubo cat back, Greddy front mounted intercooler and Apexi pod ( as the HKS Death filter was crumbling) . Ive also fitted BC coilovers and the 2005 G35 Coupe 19's .

soon to come are Autech RS260 side skirts , rear bar and rear wing, then a full respray over christmas.

Ill update as this as the build continues. thanks, Ben .

hey guys, its getting a color change , not entirely sure on final hue yet but it wont be a radical change.

future plans are pretty open really but above all needs to be a practical daily so will get more cosmetic mods than performance.

few things o nthe cards are a haltech platinum plug and play and flex tune and put the 3 inch dump on. apart from that nothing is really locked in .

Thanks,

Ben.

Yeasss going all out with the haltech, is scotty going to set all that up for you? I'd love to do exactly that in my 34 but to much $$$$!!!

Please don't paint it like Midnight purple, or bayside blue... do a colour that every other import owner hasn't done yet!

Heh, I love the colourful graffiti language on the burnt down building.

Looks the goods! R34 front end is best, the rays wheels in white looks great.

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
