Thanks Howie... I decided on Saturday night that there would not be anymore spending on the '34 until 2009... should give you some time to catch up :ninja: 2009 looks pretty tame from where I'm sitting though: brakes, wheels, tints, and some paintwork...

Can anyone post some nice clean shots of the origional R34 subframes? I seem to remember there were some very nice high resolution photo's floating around of a R34 GTR drivetrain sitting in a showroom (complete with tyres etc), I need to cad up the stock suspension for a project and getting high resolution photo's of the subframes with everything in them un-racespecced is proving hard, all else fails if anyone has some high resolution photo's of the subframes themselves (must be the GTR frames) that would also be awesome.

OK, rushed out after work to get a couple of photos... excuse the shoddy photo work :P

Thanks for lookin'

Is that a bulge in your bonnet Stan or are you just happy to see me?

Ganador mirrors look sick too mate :yes: I want em bad.

Hehe... you're lucky I live just up the road else I wouldn't have been assed to drive out after work :P

Still need to sort that "bulge" out, it's a dead giveaway that there's something big hiding in the bay :yes:

ohh i like it nice touch was that ur idea? (black part-never seen it done before). should be able to custom fit a bonnet depending on what u like, cant go somethin too over the top with aggressive styles, then u might need to get a kit for the rest of the car..hmm i duno see if u can get anyone to do some photoshop work for ya and u can get a better idea.

i want ur engine btw looks sexy and dangerous. peace!

Never been a fan of OTT kits... so yes, the new bonnet (whatever it will be) will be subtle and functional. Thinking about just getting an OEM copy bonnet in CF or FRP, take it to a body shop, have them cut the entire middle section out and mould in a higher centre "rise" to clear the engine.

Mould in a NACA duct above the high mount turbo / dump pipe area and we're done :)

PS: thanks for the kind words all, feel free to check out some of my videos on Youtube... another update will be added there after Wednesday's efforts at the dyno room.

thats tops bakes... yeh except for the chick.. a) i cant believe you let her near it.. and b) she really doesnt do anything for the photo... your car doesnt need add ons.

top work.

my gf is right into photography.. might have to team up when my 32 is photographable and find some good spots around newy.. shes got a really good camera and loves taking those fancy atrsy photos. i found one spot on monday night that is really good, had too much traffic though to pull up and look at the lighting conditions, etc.

lols looks awesome satanic. i reckon the bonnet looks good like that. raised bonnet, track look. reduce heat by releasing it out.

anyways muck around with the coils yesterday just to see how stupidly they can possibly go. rears dont sit much lower than my nismo's, a finger gap on 18's. but the fronts are current on half in these pics. pretty weird design allowing fronts to be at that height with only halfway, and rears not being low at all on full.

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
