Spotted a black 33 gts with white starcorps which had a GTR badge, seriously why do people do this, just makes you look like a dumbarse!! Was parked on Gorge Road, dudes were going fishing... They were in awe of a real GTR going past lol

I saw a white R34 GTR on anzac hwy around lunch time doing a u turn back towards the city. And it didnt have a GTR badge on the front. Must be trying to be a non GTR

Spotted me in melbourne picking up 18" nismo lm gt4 rims ... (.. Now just to drive back ... Ugh...)

the retarded cheap ones some bloke had on an s14?

never mind, theyre in qld.

wow fair long to get rims must of been fair worth it

Ahhh back now.

I had the seller drop them off at a Melbourne friend's house; I'd already transferred the money to their account, so they could pay for them - leaving me to either ship them over or drive across and pick them up.

I figured it's been a while since I gave my lil' N14 SSS a decent drive, and the rims probably wouldn't fit in the R34 without removing all the stereo, etc - and hell the N14 is pretty ecnomical on fuel (I averaged 7.3L/100km there and back). I think I got a pretty decent deal. There's still rubber on them - albeit, the fronts are probably not legal from inside camber wear (the rest of the tyre probably has 25%) & the rears still have maybe 30% left.

Just put the rim next to the car and took a picture. Ahhh... damn the light bronze color suits KR4 silver :)

For me, I've been hanging out looking for the right set of these rims for at least 12-18 months. My preferences in order have always been LMGT4, TE7, R34 GTR (and R34 GTR is awesome, but just seems too common these days - sorry Tobias ..). What I preceived as the right set of rims for me came up when I had the funds, and they're now mine :)

.. It's really making me think that I might try and sorta 'nismo s-tune' my R34. I have plenty of other nismo s-tune parts, and now the nismo rims. The bodykit doesn't really interest me - but the other stuff, sure... mmmm ..

Editted: Added link to picture for Dohmar

Spotted a black 35R with NCT on the plates in the harbour town car park this morning around 10.. Nice, to say the least..

Seen that car also, but was in our workshop a while back. Only coz the plates rang a bell

Spotted in Melbourne thismoning while I was picking up the chaser for the othe half- silver r35 gtr pull up next to me at the lights, and purr off the line--thought the new ride was sweet till he had to pull up next to me!!

    • You have (externally anyway) a lot of patience!  At the very least your patience has rewarded you financially even if you decided you were over it!! I only just read your first experience of seeing the car, that would have been amazing!  Well documented too! It must be exciting knowing there's only 10 months left until you can get it on a boat and on it's way!!!???
    • Yeah, that's when. I guess you could say I'm as patient as I am foolish(or just a masochist?🤔). I've strongly considered throwing in the towel and calling it all quits many times, and have almost done so. It's a first-world problem for sure, but I've had a pretty rough go of it, as well as other factors; hoping something good comes of all this; it has to. It definitely is half the price of the ATS and performs great, but I'd like to try something different for once. I've sampled the ATS in a friend's 32 and it's solid👍
    • I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.
    • Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.
    • Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.
