Thanks for the positive comments guys, its been a long road to get all the bodywork done, alot of time and money has been put into it but the attention to detail from the boys at J racing is amazing they really pulled out all the stops on this one.

And yes got just a bit of width, the final measurement was around 65-70mm wider on all 4 corners with 10.5" rears and 9.5" fronts probably gonna get the rear width extended to about 12" maybe 13". But not really a great need until the engine work is complete. All in good time ive still got a couple years to tweak it.

No expense spared on parts, it has a real R34 GTR bonnet, genuine Volk GT-V's, Genuine lights, racing fuel flap yet to fitted but the fuel pipes have been extended. Still tossing up on changing the side mirrors and what style side indicators to use. All hand made fibreglass guards which took forever to get perfect (the line around each guard took 3 hours per corner to look right)

Im not too worried about the quality of the paint, we spent alot more time prepping the car and make sure all the surfaces were perfectly smooth, spent a bit extra on supplies this time opting for some higher quality stuff.

Also very minimal bog was used, if a fibreglass surface wasnt quite right we did it again rather than just bogging over it, and particular attention was payed to the gaps inbetween the bonnet and gaurds and boot etc, making sure all of them were even. It will be street driven so we took into consideration the height of the car and am applying stone guard on any surfaces that we can. We also used paint that can be repaired without spraying half the car.

I like that a lot, and I don't usually go for bodykits. What kinda rubber you going to put in there, may I suggest a pair of Corvette / Lambo 335s for the rear sir?

The yellow car in the backround is a Celica but i wont be taking any more pics of that as its not my car, it used to be the yellow new model celica with a bodykit and rims the licence plate was "quing" ?? but was rear ended so he decided to go full widebody on the whole car.

The skyline has firenza semi slicks on the front 275/30/19 stretched, the rear has 275/30/19 in hankooks but they were temporary tyres the different brands seemed to make a massive difference even tho they are 275 width, they are going to be replaced with Pirelli semi slicks when the car is complete and the bugs have been sorted out.

My car is currently all primed and ready to go when its all bolted back together ill get some more pics up, be afraid this thing is stupidly wide.

is it gonna cost you a lot? it looks pretty awesome, are you doing most of the stuff yourself?

It has cost an absolute fortune but i wont go into detail :P, most of the work has been completed by j racing but i was required to source out all the parts myself, something i will not be doing in the near future if ever again. It has been quite a headache along the way with multiple complications coming up along the way eg. the guy taking out my windshield yesterday gettin ready for the spray broke it leaving me 10 days to get a new one before autosalon!!

Cheers, Semo

It has cost an absolute fortune but i wont go into detail :( ,

nice man, well some pics when you're done then :P

are you gonna keep it white? or thinking of another colour haha, yeah i love the r34 front as well

hope all goes well then.

Im at a friends place now but ill post up the most recent pic when i get home, the engine bay has now been sprayed and its been changed to orange with a heavy gold pearl, it looks amazing.

I wont be posting the final product until after autosalon sydney but ill get another sneak peak up.

    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
