They had sent me a walkaround of the car showing all the areas where the clearcoat was peeling and offered to repaint the car if I wanted so I had them go ahead and repaint the car A54 to be a brighter color than the AH3.

Once the car was in my hands, I needed to get rid of those dated RPF1's.  I know they are a favorite of most of the car community but they just aren't my taste.  Went with a set of 18x9 +30 Aodhan LS007's on 245/35 BF Goodrich G-Force T/A KDW's.  I love the aggressive tread pattern.

Good work. Have you considered replacing the heater core while the dash is out!

I actually was thinking of replacing all of the heat and ac components that I can come across to make sure its good for another 25 years!

Is that Active Red? 

Hahaha!  Paint code is A54.  I'm sure it goes by a few different names, but wanted to keep it a Nissan color.  I wasn't a fan of the AH3.  Too dark and gloomy for me.

Similar but no, Nissan had quite a few reds through the models. This looks good. 

Why are you pulling it down if it was already resprayed? 

I like your wheels better than the RPFs

because when it was painted, they didnt do the engine bay so it didnt match.  and then some quarter panel rust was coming back so I decided to get the overfenders to get rid of it...and then went wider front fenders, hood, bumper, and spoiler...so it all just needed to get done since I was pulling the motor too.  I basically want it to be pretty much a brand new car when its back together and last another 25 years lol.

Nice, it will look great when it's done.

Plans for the engine? 

full rebuild to just refresh everything and then bolt on some good stuff.  kinugawa bolt on turbo.  fmic.  r35 coils, r35 injectors, emu black ecu, front facing intake w/ ls drive by wire throttle body, 350z drive by wire pedal, tomei cams and adjustable gears.  all the basics.  I'm also completely removing hicas with an s13 subframe and all of gktech's adjustable arms, and added air ride.  

Should be a tidy little rig. 

Could I possibly encourage you to go something better than Kinugawa... 

RB20 needs all the help it can get with response. A Twin Scroll GTX would do nicely without breaking the bank.

    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
