hi can you ship to the uk ?

i need 2 -an 10 for the rb25 spec 2 i been told there are differences between spec 1 and 2 not sure tho ?

cheers Bud well end of march and winter has gone and the car is 99.9% completed now my bumper i never really liked so got a new one it now has been fitted what a bugger it was to get it sitting right not perfect at the moment waiting for a day off next week hopefully I can get it bang on  any way here are the pics Its been a long process as I have been in work and trying to do it dodging the rain wasn’t fun but hey its almost ready to a standard I wanted it

Now almost the end of February 2014 my winter project is almost done Second hand gtr fuel flap bent and fitted to get a shape of where it needs to go 25 mm hubcentric wheel spacers delivered Off to the body shop she went Fuel flap made as the gtr one didn’t work as expected Sanded down and masked off All in paint and back home still need to go back to get the rear bumper sorted going for a different style with that and the sideskirts need better fitment as the rear is wider which is pushing the skirts out of line but got this the rear each side is now 35mm wider than stock

thank you very much i will be using underseal to stop the dreaded rust and yes looking at getting 25-30mm hubcentric wheel spacers on the back

Work has been flat out but we got it welded up one side on our dinner break cheers Martin  Got the panel straight as I could took off old Japanese filler and ground the welds off primmered and bonded the one side one here it is held together and left 48 hours to set Took of the masking and ended up with this Another dinner break Welded up the other side That night stayed on and got Welds ground off and excess cut off 3 coats of primer Bonded on 48 hours later took the masking all off ended up with this Drove home like this as the workshop was getting full Waited a week and got some carbon fiber filler so it wouldn’t ever crack needs another layer Done both sides both still need another layer to make sure it blends in nicely but got this so far bumper and sideskirts just loose in the pics for a mock up

just seen this perfect i am doing it right so far lol

well took the passenger sideskirt off tonight and plan was to cut the arch then i can weld them both up the same time but i have had a 3 inch crack just above my side skirt and was thinking it cant be that bad lets see whats under it big mistake my whole rear end has been coated in filler for some reason its been plastered on it as well no wonder why this side looked different im going to cut the arch tomorrow and see what joys i find then ??? also notice gaping holes where my arches were good job i got access to a mig welder and lots of tools in my new job lol any how heres the latest pics all the scraches are where the filler is look how thick it is as well the rust will be sorted and so will all the filler before i offer the arches up well got the arch cut out and slatted on this bad side and now ground away for welding to commence also most of the silicone crap removed from the body also took the filler down a few levels as soon as i cut the outer skin off the arch popped back to where it should of been

what i dont understand why make a heavy car heavier with all this crap installed ?

cheers mate yes it was heart breaking but still got other side to do lol and a few more bits and bobs i want to do but thanks for the kind words

17th November ok decided for winter project i wanted gtr over fenders but didnt want bad quality ones from shitracer so got in touch with a guy from ireland perfect fitment i gotta say and quality is second to none i decided i was going to do it by cutting out the arches *Gulp* any way heres what i done so far mock up of drivers side arch kitted out for fiber glass trimming rough cuts perfect fuel flap also note side skirts are off next was to remove my rear bumper and found out the last owner bonded the whole thing on as bumper is one piece no spats this was a right pain in the butt but with it all removed you can see no signs of rust next i got the grinder out and took off about 2 inches all round off the outer wing to leave me this then stuck some slats in the inner wing so it can be rewelded so far this is how far i have got only taken me about 2 hours to get it this far

pic is taken from a local show for charity this is a pic of a pic so quality is not too great Decided more stuff could come out to make the car lighter stuff again which I don’t need the tar sound deadning This is the drivers side almost done All removed and painted to stop any rust forming Not bad and carpet will be re fitted to retain the factory look once passenger side and rear is done the tar stuff is really heavy so will be interesting to find out how much i have saved yet again well all done and back together decided to put the carpet back to make it look better / factory looking but the sound deading weighed in at 7.2kg with most of it out now and a good thing is hardly no difference in road noise with this all out and weighed i have lost total weight crap i dont want in the car so far = 46.734kg or 7.36 stone with a few more bits to do

tyres all round are Primewell PZ900 225/35/18 94W

cheers buddy

Yeh i love them thats the price they were with tyres fitted so not to bad

well fitted 5mm front spacers now job done think i need rear ones to make it even but now the front dont rub on full lock also painted my calipers satin black to freshen things up better pics as well now

almost 200 miles on the clutch now god its getting better all the time so to celebrate i treated myself again this time with a set of Gunmetal Rota Gtrs i went a bit mad ordered 18inches x 9.5 allround for a nice wide wheel complete with tyres i know they are expensive but what the hell they cost £1300 with only 2 days wait and on my doorstep The car didn't want to lose its wheels mind took 3 hours and lots of bent and broken tools to get the studs out but did it in the end old wheels bent hammer how hard was i hitting the bar to get the studs free ? bar bent this was straight 10mins earlier lol had a cuppa and 5 mins then these turned up just as the last nut came free good timing or what lol cleaned all the brakes up fitted all done just rubbing slightly on the fronts think im going to try 5mm spacers to see if it helps

i have seen a intercooler with the inlet and outlet pipe the same end which will save me ball ache with pipes but its a non branded one is there any difference between a cheap one and a greddy one ?

yeh thats what i wanted but after seing as my trust one is fitted with out cutting any pannels its going to take me convincing to remove all the bumper again and sell my trust one lol

yeh i was going to replace the intercooler but it is stamped trust its a genuine greddy item
