Lol...

Yeah it looks the goods. Twin tip exhaust is nice.

I changed my Blitz canon to a twin tip magnaflow and loved the look and sound.

Sadly I sold my 33 4door today...

Nice work dude, always good when you achieve something like that without f**king everything up :) but why generic old carbon wrap? so many different cool options around

It was just a trial run, really. Its only the cheap autotechnica stuff. I thought the dark bonnet would look alright on the white.

What other options do you mean?

Don't get me wrong. Carbon is nice,but every second Commo has a black or carbon bonnet. :verymad:

I had a 3M Brushed metal on mine......but it kinda looked like primer from a distance, still loved it though. Hard to get a good photo of with a phone.

Me and a couple of mates had a crack at vinyl wrapping my bonnet, turned out pretty good for a bunch of amateurs

I had my wing blade and end caps wrapped a while ago, the only thing I didn't like was the Matte look. Might be a case of each to their own, but I wonder if you sprayed gloss over the top (maybe even some clear Vinyl) if it would get that nice wet carbon look.

Looks pretty good for an Amateur job, wouldn't be upset running that at all

^Work D9Rs?

I wish, they're a Rota P1-R.

I definitely wanted front dish, but with the Gtst's narrow guards and "lumpy" front caliper, I wasn't sure if an D9R would clear at the front in a 9.5 wide rim. The +12 offset may have cleared? But then I may as well have got a 18x10+18 XD9 with the amount of guard work/camber that would have been required.

If it turns out that the D9R clears the front caliper in a 18x9.5+23, that will become an incredibly popular wheel choice for Gtst's in the year to come, for sure.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
