Looks amazing. Keep a good layer of your preferred sealant on it, boy do reds love to fade lol 

definitely going to protect is as much as I can lol.  Gettin the main dash painted to match and then bolting up all the carbon fiber pieces.

You're painting the dash? Which parts? 

basically the whole main dash itself.  i have a carbon fiber glove box, carbon fiber radio bezel down through the entire center console, the steering surround, and the gauge cluster surround.  I also have a sheet metal rear seat delete and sheet metal door cards that I am going to have hydro dipped carbon fiber to match as close as I can.

so what colour are you poainting the dash itself? 

red to match the car.  I just got a truck from someone that has a paint matched dash and I love it so I am going to do the same to the skyline.  only way to really "modernize" the dash so the interior doesnt look so dated.

Well, it's not my style, but it's your car and you've got to love it.

If re-sale matters to you, I would strongly suggest not doing that particular mod, but if that's not a concern, go wild and enjoy it :D

I will be buried in this thing at this point.  There is way too much money wrapped up in it to ever bother selling it.  When I say ground up, I mean ground up.  There's not many parts or pieces that havent been upgraded or replaced with new oem parts.  It will basically be a brand new car that I plan on driving every damn day! haha

Bold move! Need to see how it ends up

follow the build.  now that it will be back at my house tomorrow, I get to really start digging into it and putting it all back together!

Will do! I'm two steps behind you but probably close to 45k AUD deep into my rebuild... Always a comfort to see someone else go all out too ?

Im almost 75k USD into mine so far but Im about all in. Not much left to buy at this point.  Its all piled up in my basement ready to go.

Best type of insanity! My worst fear at the moment is that my car will get too good, that the driving will feel dull since I can't use its potential. 

Oh well, back to topic, this is your thread after all! You went with a trigger kit, s13 subframe and newer color. Got any other modification to share with the rest of us? Found the thing that will make it truly your car? (maybe the dash?)

Better than drugs right?!  I also went drive by wire with a 350z pedal and a ctsv throttle body.  Going full air suspension and all gktech adjustable arms.  Shaved door handles and trunk lock.  Trying to go neo power steering pump to get rid of the dual stage pump, hopefully I can get that to work.  Engine was rebuilt.  New gaskets, rings, and seals.  Poncams and adjustable pulleys.  Cant think of anything else thats too crazy lol.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • 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
