ste

Got around to fitting the adjustable suspension arms there on sat. In the rear ive fitted Apex Performance toe arms and camber arms, Ive also fitted Driftworks traction arms. I know traction arms aint really necessary but if i was gonna fit one i may aswell do it right and fit them all. Also fitted in the front are Apex Performance tension rods. Ive kept all the new arms set to the same as factory items for the moment until i pick up some front camber arms and then ill get it all set as i want properly Something that bugged me about the recaros i bought were the fact the logos were faded and some of the threads disappearing, they are 20plus yrs old so i decided to get some white fsbric paint and go over the logos. They look alot better now i think. May only ber a small difference but better none the less My nardi personal grinta 350mm that i bought off andy in planet drift before xmas arrived today. Exactly as described and in excellent condition

Thanks dude

Sorry my bad. This site format is different to what I'm used to

COULD SOMEONE PLEASE PM ME IF POSSIBLE ID LIKE MY BUILD THREAD IN THE FAMILY 4 DOOR SECTION MOVED TO THE BUILD AND OVERHAUL SECTION PLEASE. IF THATS NOT TO MOVE TROUBLE. JUST LIKE MORE VIEWS AND INPUT FROM MEMBERS ON MY BUILD REGARDS STEVEN

Today's been a productive day. My paint man sent me pics of the skirts , far spats and origin roof spoiler painted up and left in the oven. The guys work is 110% and can't recommend him enough. He's also reprinting the front lip as I scuffed it slightly a few months back Also picked up these absolutely immaculate lancer evo 2 seats. These are in remarkable condition for almost 24years old. I've never had any says apart from oem in a road car so these will be a welcomed change. I wanted something not too in your face as I wanna keep the cockpit colours scheme as close to factory as possible so would never go for red etc Hoping to have the car back on Friday so plan on taking it on a spin down to auto heroes in momdello this Saturday

its the front i really wanna get lower

Picked up these today so handling is 90% done

Thanks for the comments guys. I had a 500 bhp 4 door er34 a few years ago so wanna keep this white one subtle looking. I'm from Dublin Ireland so I'll explain how my license plate works. My number is 00 d 113116 So 00 stands for year 2000 d stands for the state I live in "dublin" 113116 is the number of vehicles registered in my state in that year Hope that makes sense The license number of my last 4 door r34 was 99 d 34 That cost me extra tho

Oh sorry this site layout is different to what I'm used too so I thought this was a builds section. Yes please work away

Reached 2 degrees today lol. Yes that's my drift practise car. Maybe post a fwy pics at some point if allowed

I had planned on going uras for both but the price is crazy by the time I get them shipped. I have a manufacturer i use in Russia who makes oem skirts and rear pods if you were ever interested

One or two more bits order and arrived for this... Have this 350mm personal grinta wheel on the way from Andy in planet drift And the last piece of the exterior puzzle arrived today. Origin roof spoiler. If I do any more to the exterior it will just be the uras boot lid spoiler The car will be going to get the oem skirts , oem rear spats and the origin roof spoiler painted and fitted in the coming weeks along with getting a small scuff repaired on the front lip. car will be off to the bodyshop next week

After searching high and low for oem skirts and rear bumper spats since buying ther car and having no luck, i managed to find a guy who who make me replicas using plastified epoxy and structural fibreglass. So this morning 3 weks after ordering the box arrived from russia. im over the moon with the finish,strength,quality and fit of these and far exceeded my expectations. It will be late janurary or early feb before they are painted and fitted as i want to get some spoilers and possibly r34 gtr side skirt diffusers to give it a more aggressive lower stance. i jus sat them against the car to check fit and ive noticed changes i wanna make to wheel choice or ride height its just not sitting the way id like it too . Chances are ill have to change wheels as the offsets and widths wont allow me to go lower.. heres a view pics and opinions are always welcomed and appreciated

Pretty much forgotten all about this car as a project. Theres been a few personal things that have distracted me from showing any interest in the car. Having decided im too old for going the bodykit route and opting for an oem look bodywise, i began looking for genuine oem optional sideskirts and rear bumper spats. I searched high and low and any sets i managed to find required winning the euro millions to purchase. So gave up on the search until last week where i got the finger out again. Unfortunately i couldnt locate any genuine items i could afford but did locate a guy reproducing frp versions from original mouldings. He happens to be based in Russia, where he tells me they are quite the fans of jdm cars. I ordered them from him and including delivery works out extremely cheap and i expect to recieve in 3 weeks or so as he manufactures to order. Heres how they look on other cars, they are very subtle but since my car has a front lip fitted it will level the car out on the exterior . I cant stand cars with front lips hugging the ground then the arse and sides are up in the air. This is how i want the rear of the car looking with rear spats, boot spoiler and roof spoiler I also need to buy a new set of wheels as i currently have only 4 wheels between this and the drift car :-( so when the jr's are on the r34 the drift cars on stands and vice versa i havent decided on whether or not to buy another set of the same wheels, a different style altogether for the r34 or a drop down from 18s to 17s as seen in the middle pic above. 17s will allow me to go a lil lower.

Got the car back exactly a week later and can't get over the job he done the colour match is 100 per cent in my eyes couldn be happier . I will be getting more body work done after my holidays when ill be sourcing em skirts and rear spats swell as uras window and boot spoilers. i was gonna get a frp gtr style bumper but i think the setup i have now works just as good. Anyways heres some pics i took the day i collected it

just said id update this a lil more. Im finally not embarrassed to be driving the car now. The car had some unsightly marks around the body that really pissed me off after removing the spoiler etc. The cars been here 8years give or take so hasn't been looked after the best cosmetically. I came across a massive problem when went getting quotes to get the work done in various bodyshops. The car is a nissan flat white QM1 on the chassis plate which meant the car was resprayed at some point here in ireland. Heres some pics of the bits i was unhappy with The respray itself was a very very good job but unfortunately they didn't use a nissan pearl white and didn't leave me a code to work from so i was 3 weeks solid getting the colour sourced via the petrol flap Eventually i left the flap in with a guy who gave me an extremely competitive quote and id seen his work before so i knew it was up to par. He called in his supplier to source colour and we got a match to a Lexus pearl white With the colour sourced we agreed on the price and date to get the work done. The work i wanted done was : -fit new front splitter, repair and repaint front bumper -repair and repaint rear bumper -debadge bootlid -repair rust and weld up spoiler holes -repaint bootlid. Due to pearl being so hard to match he had to blend in rear 1/4s but he also informed me that he would repaint rear light covers and give the car a full buff free of charge :-) Heres the progress pics he sent me

Well car is now got a fresh Nct failed on first attempt due to headlight alignment and a centre brake bulb being blown, overall i was chuffed it didn't fail on more got my Yashio okachan water meter v2 from Jesse Streeter yesterday so threw in in there this evening. Its a cool bit of kit plugs straight into diagnostic port. just used an apex stand on it for the min. also removed rear spoiler and sold to a guy in oz got good money for it so was happy enough and my Fortune auto front splitter arrived so just taped it together as it was cut in two in japan to check fitment and its perfect.. Hope to get the boot lid , rear bumper and front bumper and splitter painted in the next 2 weeks or so..

With the good weather i got to give it a good wash. I spent a few hours on the exterior giving it a wash, iron cleanse, paint renovater, clay bar and a wax . I also removed the nissan logos from the bonnet and bootlid. Im debating on removing the SKYLINE from the bootlid also. The exterior of the car looks and feels much better after a good cleaning To stop my wheel rubbing issue on the rear i arranged to get Romeo Cesar to come up and roll my arches and he did a top job on it. doesnt rub at all now and dropped another 17mm using a 18x10.5 et12 rear wheel with a 234/40/18 tyre ordered one of these from jesse streeter should have it in a week. Its a newly released Yashio Factory Oakachan v2 water meter that displays speed,rpm,temp,throttle, injector etc and works from the diagnostic port so no hard wiring. These are on available for nissan currently.

things have been going slow on this as im saving for my hols at the min. Still working on sorting the lil niggles that are annoying me . first up was ditch the poxy caliper paint for something a lil less max power little better now when i bought the car the drivers window was stuck up so after looking high and low and cross referencing part numbers etc i had to go order one in japan from amayama. Took 3 weeks in total to come but at least its in now one of my main gripes with the car was the drivers rear fly window. For the last few years its been a cut of perspex so i got onto Julian in Garage-D in watford and he hooked me up with a replacement 20 mins later all fitted. (its been fitted with a matching tint since) as with most jap cars the interior is dull as hell so just done what id done with my old 34 and used a few cuts of a carbon vinyl to cover window switches
