The ever evolving R32 GTR build

[okooko]

exhaust looks identical to mine!

[mr_rbman]

Am jobby?!

[okooko]

Aww yea, split dumps, front pipe, etc

Even the tip sticks out a bit like mine haha

I'm used to it now, actually kinda like it

[mr_rbman]

ye I'm the same, told him my first priority was performance, sound, then looks.....think I covered all those bases....

On here occasionally

[mr_rbman]

So the car ran out of rego......have decided to keep it off the road for a little while to tend to a few small issues...

I think I now have a wrinkle paint problem

[mr_rbman]

tidied up the battery area, new terminals and wiring, its amazing how the little things make such a difference.

Looking for two interior bits so that I'll be happy with the interior as pictured, let me know if you have these or know where I can easily get some.

[mr_rbman]

Before vs after engine bay pics.....pretty happy

[okooko]

whiteline strut wrinkle black too! nice and stealthy

now for a CF full length cooling panel haha

[mr_rbman]

have a couple of subtle cf items on order, not a cooiling panel tho thinking about adding it to the list

[mr_rbman]

nice little genuine Nismo oil cap to finish things off.......now just to find a matching radiator cap.

So I had a couple of weeks off recently and decided to tend to a few things once the house jobs were done.

1 - Resprayed the window wipers as they had certainly seen better days.

2 - Refurbished the brake callipers (they were part red and well faded) upon doing the paint removal it looks as though they've been painted previously not just in the red but silver too.

3 - Bought myself a couple of nice carbon pieces (N1 rear lip and front grill)

4 - Bought some Impul RS II rims with Achilles 123s

5 - Removed my front Bilstiens as one had begun to leak and have sent them off to Quadrant suspensions in Victoria for a rebuild (significantly cheaper than anyone here in Adelaide )

Replaced my wipers with Bosch ones, works heaps better than whatever I had previously.

How is the fitment of boot lip, straight and flush? Where did you source from?

Did contemplate that.......kinda like the idea though of keeping the genuine items.

Pretty good actually, better than I expected.

Grill not as good but I'm also being pretty picky, depends how fussy you are....

Can get from justjap I believe but I purchased from Custom Importz here in Adelaide.

We have 1 left in stock at Justjap. I've test fitted on my own car and I was quite happy with fitment. (I'm also quite fussy with aftermarket parts & how they fit)

N.B - that is a link to the fibreglass option (not the carbon item)

[jmknights93]

My bad. Sold the last one this morning.

suspension back from being rebuilt, so I can see how it sits with the new shoes.

As we know black rims don't look good in photo's....far better in the flesh.
