that front bar but without the yellow fog lights i want to try my hand at this as well, any recommended tuts, i've found a few. this might end up like that mini-car thread we had goin a little while ago lol, was funny stuff

gah 83CKS, did you buy the car with that steering wheel? or did you put it on, ive been needing a replacement one, (current is getting worn) and yours looks like it has an airbag...

2dr, standard kit, but no centre tail light on the bootlid or nissan badge

doesnt it come with, or cant you get a sort of backing plate for under the vents for those rainy days? im sure i've read about this before with vented bonnets including the z-tune style one

no its not from slide, got it from APC when they installed it as the stock pump was gone

yeah your right i did mean the hoses, im scattered today!? just jap sells 5mm hose on a roll, 3m i think (about $29) and modyourcar.com sells 10mm on a roll, 3m i think (about $39) both of which are the silicon hoses, definately want to have them placed neater, ugly engine bays are depressing the radiator hose kits are pretty expensive, $70+ for like 2 hoses what about the hoses over the top of the engine, there are i think 3 that are about 20-30mm, and about 4-5mm thick, they seem to be already bent, does that mean i would have to get specifically bent pipes, or couldi just use a straight section and curve it to fit?

oh forgot to mention its a walbro 255l/hr pump, not sure if that is in tank or external, i think its external as that would be the humming that it sometimes makes

Yes there is a lot lol, the painting is an interesting idea. and it is spelt "Colored".... in America... leave me alone, my spelling/grammar/punctuation is usually pretty damn good if i can be bothered

this is some cool stuff, i've never tried my hand at it, but always thought that they look awesome if you like, ill be your first client, needing a stock white r34 gtt with no spolier

1st 32, were you able to buy from a roll of the hose or were they pre cut lengths?

Hey guys, So i want to dress up the engine bay a little and im sure some of the pipes/tubes are getting a bit old and could do with a change so i was wondering where i might be able to get some colored tubing/piping in various sizes/diameters to replace the standard black ones. And how much approx would they cost? Also on a side note, which pipes/tubes should i not touch? Cheers Steve

the latest HPI has a purple (black amethyst) 34 gtr, no rear spoiler with a carbon z-tune bonnet and carbon bootlid, it looks freakin awesome !!!

you'll be selling the z-tune kit? got a website or anything?

This actually sounds like it could be along the lines for me, i've had the car for just over a year, and when i got a service a little while back i found out one of my return fuel lines was cracking a little, maybe that is the problem

Hey guys, I've noticed over the past few weeks the smell of fuel in the car, it sort of comes and goes, i think more so when the windows are open than closed, but its been bothering me a bit lately, any ideas what could cause this, the car is pretty much stock bar the pod and fuel pump Thanks Steve

bahaha, i was just watchin that video of that particular 34 a few days ago, its a pretty nice car, i can tell you right off the bat that it has a z-tune front bar (gtr front/bonnet) and do-luck front quarter panels, i think, and im not 100% on this, that the side skirts are veilside, or a modified version of the veilside skirts to allow for the wide rear quarters

aw warhead was cool lol, specially the last battle. i still remember when playing crysis 1 at the section where you go to the grave yard to be airlifted out and you're told they cant land cos the areas is still hot, and the out of no where im attacked by KPA in stealth suits, scared the shit out of me lol, (im a tad jumpy) the second time i played through it i used the stealth to find all of the stealth enemies before they even knew i was there lol

For those wondering, the Meguires PlastX stuff works a treat, i was extremely sceptical but i went down and bought a bottle of it today and an applicator pad, they came up looking like a brand new set of lights minus a few stone chips, definatly worth the $19, will post pics if anyone is interested when i get them off my phone

yup, thas a standard one, i just took mine off just waiting till the painter at work gets the chance to respray my bootlid and fill in the holes, also removing the stop light on the boot lid and the nissan badge nice and smooth

sweet, well as Craig (Gimp...) said it's not that difficult of a job to have a go at yourself, but it's up to you, wiring in a switch is pretty easy, and all you would probably need to mount the swit6ch is a drill to drill a hole for it to poke out of, its also a good chance to buy some tools for yourself, just the basics

oh ok cool, i wish the nismo ones for the 2dr's were around that price

There is no ".au" on the web address its just www.dmdtheimage.com, alternatively it just redirects you to "http://www.ebridge.com.au/dmdtheimage/" this site anyway so just click here DMD

You know what, its a billion times better, Honestly, aside from the minute aerodynamic performance gains you can expect from a body kit, the onoly other purposes it serves are cosmetic, and also if you want to get a wider track. It sounds like you yourself have had a bad experience with something cosmetic, just don't let that ruin it for anyone else wanting to do something crazy or different to a car, GTR or otherwise. This is where i don't understand why you posted at all, being anti-bodykits, as this is a bodykit thread... I just took the wing off my 34 (gtt). Why? cos i wanted to be a bit different, i don't see a lot of 34's without a wing on, and i also think it looks quite good, it doesn't really enhance its performance in any way, but its how im liking it. Yes, you are right, that said, maybe its being used as a show car, to get as many people interested and shocked and would like to be praised for his ingenuity and individualism, there are a lot of people who come on here making stupid threads like.. "sti vs gtr" etc... if you want to weigh up the specs, google the models, and asking for peoples opinions on a cosmetic mod isn't always the best course of action because as you said, why does it matter what we think, but some people who don't like to be frowned upon like to know that there are some people out there who think what they have done looks good. Drive a skyline and your pretty much guaranteed the attention, hell drive an import and its coming your way... thats what our car scene has become, its unavoidable. If your gf's parents think you're a hoon because of the car you drive, that's their problem, don't let people label you just because of what you drive, it's not hard to show your a down to earth sensible person... And, most people have second cars when heavily modifying a car. it's better

Hell yes it is an awesome car, and in its stock state it is a beast all on its own, and damn right it commands respect, it is one of very few cars that can look good without an extravagent kit or crazy modifications, the fact of the matter is that it will be seen as what a person wants to see it as, if they want to hit the track then its a great platform to tear up the black top, but if they want a show pony, it already has an aggressive look but whose to say that a person isnt allowed to modify it to their own tastes? Well you don't see the point, you said your piece, move on, why turn a thread about a cars COSMETIC STYLING, into something about its performance? I never said you're not an enthusiast, read back... i said "if you really are and enthusiast you..." You don't know where his knowledge comes from, your making stupid assumptions about a person you don't know, so you've been a member since 2003, big fkn woop, how many posts have you made in those 5 years? 500 or so... furthermore, how many of those posts have been constructive? or were they all you bitching about how people are trashing gtr's with stupid bodykits and what not? you wanna rave about how long you've been on here for the provide something constructive and useful to other members. This is true, but you know what, it's inevitable, so better come to terms with it now rather than run around like a headless chook pulling out your hair when you wake up one morning and realise oh shit, there are only 25 R34 gtr's left in the world... that said, who said anything about crashing the car? There could be Numerous reasons to not purchase an R35 yet, A/ the price tag, B/ lack of aftermarket support, bodykits, performance parts etc... despite that it is growing fast every day, C/ lack of knowledgeable tuners, not a lot of people know much about this car yet as it is only new. Im sure there are more things that could be said, at the end of the day its his choice, so just get over it... maybe in your next post, you can post something constructive to help nurture the newer members of the car scene since you're a 5 year veteran, instead of slamming their hopes and aspirations into the ground with useless posts. TO Avanti - Go get your gtr man, im sure it'll make you happy whether you make it a track weapon or a show pony, hell why not even try combine it into both. gtrkiet - i think they both look ok, the yellow looks a little more realistic than the blue, but the blue just looks down right killer, likes its about to eat ya!

whered you find them? and what kinda price?
