that wide body 32 looks shit with the wing and rims

if the dude can afford a genuine veilside wide body kit

I'm sure he can buy some decent rims to suit.

I have seen your car at many events and think it looks shit as well, if you can afford to put GTR panels on it im sure you could have afforded to just buy a GTR in the first place?

Youre allowed to your own opinion, but in my opinion, you went about this one completely the wrong way.

Either way, I personally know the owner and I know for a fact he is happy with his car which is all that matters.

P.S: Those rims (unless changed) are genuine Veilside and cost more than you can possibly imagine and suit the car very well, but ill pass on your comments that he should make a trip to Tempe for you since the wheels on his race car dont appease the bling masses.

hahahahaha are you his puppet or something?

let me clear something up for you champ

you don't know what i paid for my car

or what i paid to put the panels on

or why i put the panels on.

also my rims aren't from Tempe

if you took time to look at what my rims actually are you wouldn't open your mouth

they are genuine AMEs made in JAPAN with rubber were worth more than 8K

Ive seen a much better example of the same kit with the stock front bar and stock GTR wing

which suits the lines of the car a lot more than what hes done with this blue one.

the GAME OVER sticker is a tempe tyres thing

Thankyou for your valued input, it is so nice to get some positive feedback from someone intelligent like yourself.

The car in question has been fully built by myself and has made to date 727.5hp and counting on pump fuel and took out this years Summernats 6cyl turbo class and also Horsepower heroes 2nd runner up over all categories.

I am not a cheque book racer and enjoy doing it myself.

Some people like it some don't, but at least i can say that i did it myself and didn't just buy someone elses car and call it my own.

If you would like any advice on where to go to get stuff done please don't hessitate to ask

well then we have something in common

apart from paint and trim work i did everything on my car myself too

i am a mechanic by trade (and grew up in the panel beating industry)

so everything on the car I've had a lot of involvement with

and i have had a hand in quite a few show/street cars.

so i know quite a bit when it comes to building high quality cars.

congrats on the award that power is fantastic

only thing IMO that ruined a great body kit is that wing and the rims.

With such an aggressive stance the rims should be an inch or two bigger

and a more modern style to match the wide body kit.

the wing just doesn't flow with the cars lines as i said before a GTR wing would be perfect.

the reason why this kit works so well with the car is because its almost factory looking

and doesn't destroy the classic lines of the R32

if you happy with it the way it is thats great and that all the really matters

but i just voiced my opinion thats all.

Nor do I care... its your car not mine

or what i paid to put the panels on - or why i put the panels on.

See above

if you took time to look at what my rims actually are you wouldn't open your mouth

they are genuine AMEs made in JAPAN with rubber were worth more than 8K

And if you looked at what rims his actually were you wouldnt open your mouth and realise they are genuine made in JAPAN with rubber worth probably the same amount... yet youre allowed to question his finances saying he needs to spend more on rims, yet im not allowed to make a similar comment back? Sounds like a classic case of you can dish it and cant take it in return.

You make stupid comments, you should expect to get stupid replies. Something like "I dont like his choice of wheels" probably would have gotten a better response.

once again, are you his puppet? I'm sure the guy can speak for himself as he has done above.

you obviously do care about what i spent on my car,

since you made a stupid uneducated comment about what i "could" have spent the money on.

you show me a GTR i could have bought for less than 20K 4 years ago.

i know his wheels are worth big bucks, i never said they weren't made in Japan either.

i said there are better rims on the market that would complete the car a lot better.

I'm not saying he should have spent more or less either.

I'm saying the style isn't the greatest.

A set of 18" GTCs in gun grey or silver would IMO look shit loads better.

Summernats is not that bad for girls. I have taken my girlfriend the last few years and you always get a few comments but it really depends on where you go...

If you are in any car and female you will be asked to flash em

If you go past the VB stand you will be asked to flash em

If you go through some of the dodgier areas you will be asked to flash em

That still leaves a good 40% of the event you can go without being heckled and it’s not like you actually have to flash em :P

The heckling stops after the girls go past anyway and you dont have to flash if you dont want I didnt really hear any of the guys getting to upset if you didnt... as there were other girls going past that would lol

If you do go to summernats you have to ready to expect that kind of mentallity.

I dont mind it and I didnt get harrassed really....

If it was its really nice and I was glad I got to see a really nice skyline at least once at the summernats :cheers:

      R32 GTR clutch master cylinder adapters

      By r32-25t · Posted

      There are adaptors that allow you to delete the booster and use an s15 clutch master cylinder.    if you want to keep the booster they are still available brand new

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I visited again today: It would appear they have painted the main body of the car and some parts of some of the panels, so I can say that I now have BMW parts in my car, much to the envy of @Dose Pipe Sutututu It is still covered in dust which is quite the tease but I did look at a few circumspect spots that will be behind bumpers and such and wiped some dust away: After my repeated begging to PLEASE DONT PAINT OVER THE ENGINEERING CERTIFICATE (you have to re-engineer the entire car if they do) I see THIS: Which is great. Excellent job tbh at least to me. A better non dusty example would be the backs of the doors that have been painted: Giving a reasonable contrast between old and new (I know the old isn't clear coated on the inside of doors). The door card will well and truly cover where the old paint is, you can see in the second pic some of the black butyl/whatever shit is sticking the plastic sheet behind the door transfer that has happened since it's clearly been stuck back on. The most maddening thing about this colour is every time I saw it in the wild it looks like another colour, same with photos of many cars with the same colour looking wildly different in every photo anybody ever takes and this is no exception. But stand a little further back and it suddenly looks dark AF. I did tell them when I was discussing which of the 70 million charcoal colours to choose from (a porsche one, a BMW one, or a R32 GTR one etc) that if they just ignored me and chose one at random I would probably never notice. Maybe they did. But the colour is supposed to be B39 (BMW Mineral Gray). Boring I know, but the R34 sedan (to me) really shows off it's boat-ness when you paint it in a bright colour like bayside blue or white or whatever else. I do have a fondness for AR2 Nissan Red, but decided against that because it'll have pretty odd contrast to random bits unpainted (like engine bay, bits of trim etc, and maybe it'll fade). And people will always fkin comment on AR2. Everything remains super dusty. I have tracking numbers for the new heads, as well as some Improved Racing goodies, but they probably will be a next year thing by the time they end up on the car. I did some maths on the heads and I know why nobody goes to this extent in Australia, because it's really not worth it, given I could have just CNC'ed my current heads, bought a FAST102/TB and used my current rocker/spring/cam combination and get a 383 stroker (or stroked a 6.0 GenIV bottom end to 6.6L) built for the same price of just the setup in the mail/on the floor here. Or I could have bought a LS3 and a Drysump system. And then have a complete engine to sell. Oh well

      R32 GTR clutch master cylinder adapters

      We just disconnected the vacuum line if I remember correctly, booster is still there. Is there a rebuild solution for the booster or a different adapter that will work for GTR chassis?

      Yeah 4wd (boosted) has a recess in the firewall for the booster, and 2wd is flat - the example in the link shows the flat surface. When you deleted the booster, did you just attach the factory slave cylinder directly to the recess in the firewall with no adaption?

      Yes, but no. You need to keep the mating surfaces bare (ie the flat faces where the caliper and upright pads touch the dogbone) and also the internal threads will remain bare (unless there are no internal threads - do they use nuts on all the bolts?). So you can slow down obvious external corrosion, but not all of it. Anodising would be required to provide decent protection to the alloy, but I'm not actually sure if you should anodise something that is all about the strength. Anodising does reduce strength significantly. Like, up to 50% on some alloys for high thickness coating.
