ive seen a back lexus in aus with a massive wide body kit, proba an extra 5-6" wider on each side. this is tame compared to that one. whether they will let it pass i dunno but it looks factory enough to talk your way thru. if this lexus and those kakimoto wide body liners are allowed on road i dont why this kit cant. im no expert...lol

ps is that a 32??

yeah, its nice... but the only reason you'd get it is if you were overly concious about weight differences betweent he R32 and the R34, wanted a RWD with GTR looks, or couldn't afford a real R34.

The guys in Canada will be all over this kit as they can't own anything other than 15 eyar old R32's. Over here its a slightly different story. That said, a guy in SA has made his own R32 -> R34 conversion, not as phat as the Bee-R R324 but still pretty clever.

I've seen that car in the metal and to be honest only hardcore Skyline enthusiasts can spot that it's really an R32... but when ordinary people figure it out they do it's like "oh..." you know? Like they got excited that it was a legit R34 then realized it's just a poor old R32 :) thats what happened while I was at Osaka Auto Messe...

i think its awesome, the japs are getting crazy with front end conversions, just recently saw an R32/180 conversion.

something different, yet tasteful. i dont think its got anything to do with making your r32 into a 34 because you cant afford it, the conversion costs around $10000, if youve got $10000 to spend on a front end, you can afford a 34.

I saw the Bee-R 324s at Tokyo Autosalon and I have to admit they did look pretty good in the flesh. I think the photos don't do it justice. Personally I think that an R32GTR looks better with an R32GTR front end. It's a beatiful, purposeful shape and should be left as is imo. 34GTRs are nice too in a different way.

Personally my GTR will stay as is body wise, expect for re-spray in the stock Gun Metal Grey :D

Why bother doing this to your 32?? I've seen the Bee-R cars at TAS and also at Tsukuba testing at a Battle Mag event and I wasn't particularly impressed. FRP kitted cars might look impressive at shows but when I saw the car out in the open I thought it was pretty badly finished (not to mention it had a broken bumper!). Orange peel due to poor FRP, questionable panel fitting....nah...keep 32s as they are! There is nothing wrong with them!

    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
