Been a member on this forum for a number of years but haven't had a GTR in the garage for a few years and must admit, thought it would be a good 3-5 years until another (R34) was resting in there.

Sold my Liberty Tuned By STI and was in the market for a larger car, possibly a R36 VW wagon, until I saw initialdennis ridiculously clean VSpec up for sale. Seeing it was only 20mins away I thought I would go and check it out. As you all know, the GTR is a very emotional car and hearing that RB26 again and talking to Dennis about all the awesome work he and Chris from RacePace have done to it, it was pretty easy to talk myself into the purchase.

I can't wait to pick up the car next weekend and will begin my small personalisation program with the car. Doesn't need much at all to be honest, as you will see with the list of work been put into it. Here is little of whats been done to it but one of the most impressive things is the condition of the interior, especially dash and the original steering wheel- MINT!!

Engine:

Stock internals
Tomei sump baffles
HKS Oil cooler (Thermostat in sandwich plate)
Aftermarket Cam Gears
Garrett 2860-7 Turbos running 18psi boost
1000cc injectors
Walbro Fuel pump
Koyo 50mm alloy Radiator
Custom oil catch can behind battery
Apexi pods
Nismo AFM's
Oil Drain kit from head to sump
Power FC with HC
HKS Front Pipe
HKS Super Turbo 3.5" catback (nice sound)
metal cat converter
Exedy Button Clutch very drivable

310rwkw

Brakes & Suspension
Tein Super Streets
Cusco Front and Rear strut braces
Advan TC2 rims 17X9.5 wrapped in 235/40/17 hankook RS3's (nice stretch) no gutter rash at all.
braided brake and clutch lines
DBA 4000 Slotted Rotors all round
Adj caster rods front and rear
Camber adj upper arms


Interior & Exterior
Stock - no bubbles or cracks in dash
- no broken vents etc
driver seat has very small hole where they usually appear not too noticable
Defi Single Din Gauge measures Oil, Water Temp and Oil Pressure
Defi Boost gauge in driver side vent
Greddy Gear knob
Ganador Mirrors
No rust anywhere
Rear pods

I look forward to treating this car with the respect it deserves and hopefully turning this into an amazing street car!

Once its in my hands, I will post up some pics of how it currently looks and what my initial plans will be. Look forward to hearing everyone's thoughts on what they think I need to do to make this the best possible car I can.

Cheers!!

Thanks Grant! Took it our for a little squirt last night and it is soooooo good! The main thing I love, is to get this car in immaculate condition, it only requires some cosmetic touch ups. Plans initially are to paint the wheels black, tint, get some of the paint work touched up, new driver's seat and possibly some new reg plates.

Other than that, for me there isn't much to do as I want this as a beautiful street car that I can drive to the track if I want to. I won't but its ready if I do;)

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • 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.  
    • 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?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • 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
