bodykit looks custom style thing too me, definately not veilside and doesnt look like vertex either.

paint is just a really nice metallic blue of some description :P like a candy metallic blue by the looks. and bonnet has silver paint with big metallic glitter stuff in it.

CerealKiller - dunno why you call the paintjob crap, looks great in my opinion =] though i would prefer carbon fibre bonnet, no stickers, and a more simple Vertex kit

They're 10" and 12" wide wheels filling out those guards Shan... please don't do an "HPI drift Silvia" and put wide guards on then have your 7" and 8" rims do a really bad job of filling out the wheelarches.

HEY GUYS,

Just wanna see some good pics of your R32's here!

Also, with the picture attached, can someone tell me what sorta paintjob it has, and what sorta bodykit/sideskirts it has ?

Thanks!

Hey man,

The paint is HOK Cobalt Blue Candy.

The body kit is an ECCE item (ECCE , as already pointed out is a NZ company). If you want a kit the same, speak to Bodyform in Sydney. They'll have to adjust the kit to fit a GTS-t though (as they did with this car) as it's meant for the GTR. I spoke to the guys there about it and they seem tops. Pretty sure they guy said this was actually HIS car when i mentioned it to him.

Cheers,

Dave.

Hey rezzeh, are you sure they're 10's in front ant 12s in the back, if so then I'm gonna kick myself as I just passed up a set off a VIP gloria which sold for 20000Y which is uber uber cheap. I thought they were 9's at the front and 11's at the back. Also I'm going for the rims sitting flush with the guard look, and seeing as I've got 4 stud hubs I have to get the 4stud to 5 stud conversion hub extenders, which should help me get the rims sitting exactly flush with the fenders.

What would help is if I could get a response out of BN Sports on what spec rims I should use on a GTS instead of finding out by trial and error.

I'm not sure Funkeh, I'm assuming they used +25 - +30 offset, so to get the rim out that far, you'd need at least an 11", maybe 12" rim on the rear to fill those guards. My 9" rims on the back are f-l-u-s-h with the wheel arch with +35 offset on the standard guards, you'd at least need a couple more inches on that width to fill out those BN rear guards. As for the front... same. My 8" sit a tad in from the stock front guards, so I would've thought another couple of inches to fill out the BN guards... at +35 or +40 offset...

Why don't I just e-mail them...:confused:

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
