Nice one Matt! Bit less smoke coming from front left though maybe? I would've been sold

Yeah that black R34 looks MEGA.

Looks brilliant mate - fantastic Nur. No problem as such with the rims to my eyes. Yeah they could sit out more being wider or higher offset but they look fine on the car as is. It looks as though it never leaves the garage from your photos though! You're always detailing it!

Great stance Kevin. Bet it looks angry in the rear view mirror! Yeah it seems as though one should buy all the mods they want up front (or as soon as possible) so you can enjoy them for as long as possible... doing it up over time is more realistic but it seems as though as fate would have it you end up having to sell just shortly after doing one big mod or another.

No worries Simon, good luck with your sale as well! Thanks mate. Yeah they do look fantastic in the flesh. Just a little too big for my taste, but they suit the car well! It's worth mentioning that if your suspension setup is sorted and you don't have drift-spec coilovers in your car, the ride isn't actually too bad with these rims and tyres. Any other questions, let me know! Cheers, Matt

A couple of pictures from when the wheels were on the car: Clears big calipers and discs:

We all seem to be competing for Matt Everingham's affections, hehe

Haha they look fine, it was a similar deal with me. They look the same as mine and are very subtle but ultimately I came tothe conclusion they're not my thing either.

Bump!

Yeah I would love to see how Ant's yellow paint comes up from behind Matt's camera. Mate are you going to leave the eyelids on do you reckon? I took mine off, they were good quality ABS plastic though

Wow! Awesome pics there Pat! I wonder why the first one was taken on a wet day on the docks though - not the best location I would have thought. The second one above I'd seen before and I love it because when I first saw it I still had my 33 and to me, in that pic, the R33 looks the best as it seems to be riding the lowest and has all the series 3 stuff on it (and it's black ) The last pic is just... Haha

Looks like a proper weapon

Awesome dan!

Fact - BMW were very close to deciding not to release another M5 for the E39 generation, thinking that the 540i (particularly 540i/6 not sold here) was enough. Good thing they did, but says something about the performance of the 540.

In keeping with the light weight philopsophy, are those side window weathershields going to go?

Nice! Are you Sean's missus then?

Just a pic from the south coast on the weekend. Love this place.

Wow - you've been through a lot mate. Sounds like someone upstairs was looking out for you Hopefully we can get involved somehow and the club can give something back to you to help you get back on your feet!

That lens and the camera give those shots a real depth and character - nice work mate!

That was with Moffat wasn't it? A rare partnership between the two... Good point; but I'd add that it couldn't have just been big wallets but also big brains too... Like Adrian Newey's design and technical genuis in F1. Ceilings imposed on testing or budget notwithstanding, Ferrari haven't been so competitive in recent years despite their truckloads of cash, and who could forget the amount of money Toyota spent on their F1 campaign?

Interesting points; I thought the R32 Group A car had to have narrower tyres though, because it was 4WD? The GpA R32 met all of the rules that stood at the time, so you just have to hand it to Nissan Japan for developing a car that pushed the envelope of the existant rules at the time, and then give credit to Gibson Motorsport for taking the car further (to a point where Fred himself has modestly said that the car "didn't resemble what they got from Japan" - the impression we get is that the Japanese were actually trying to learn from Gibson's setup and running changes / improvements to the car). The point you make that the Sierra and VL/VN and some other models were maybe 0.5+ generations behind is valid, but surely that just heaps more praise on the Nissan designers for making a car that was considerably ahead of its time? It then follows that the R33 and R34 were evolutions of the R32 but didn't significantly move the game on. w.r.t. the GT production class, out of interest do you know what spec (e.g. power) the R32 was running against the Porsches and Ferraris? We shouldn't kid ourselves that the GT-R is by any means a perfect car that'll beat anything and everything. There's a lot of conjecture surrounding the GT-R, but I think the race results speak for themselves (regardless of rule changes or what generation everything else was at the time). The speculation and debate surrounding the car just adds to the mystique though I think, and it's that mystique that gives the car a lot of its desirability beyond just bang for your buck value.

!

Congrats Sean, looking forward to seeing the finished pics. Hope everything goes well O/S mate.

If you're serious about buying an R32 N1, I might be able to put you in touch with someone who is toying with the idea of selling theirs. And I agree that if you are going to do a GTR up it should ideally be a non-N1, as starting with an N1 as a base won't really give you much performance advantage in comparison to the typical mods that can be done to any GTR; that is, if outright power is what you're after. If collectibility is what you're after then an N1 is the duck's guts - even if you might have to wait a decade or two before the values really take off
