The grey R35 GTR that came riding up my ass today at about 10pm on Williamsons Rd in Donny. Saw a coupe pull up behind me at the lights. Looked like a V35 skyline who had something to prove. So I LOLd and ignored you....... Turned the corner, put a bit of boot in it just for fun and you kept up. I backed off stunned, and looked out my window only to realise it was in fact another GTR who wanted to play!! I couldn't - my clutch was slipping under load in 3rd and 4th :( ....and it's illegal :whistling: LOL Nice meeting you Mr. Grey R35. Plates were X something something.

Black R34 (GTT?) through greenzy maccas drive through. I was working (uni student life!) and served them. Gave them an extra medium fries :)

Haha! that was you! That was my brother in his 34 GTT.

Was pretty excited the next day when he told me his SAU sticker got him some extra fries lol.

Haha, special treatment for SAU members!

I need a side window sticker. I only have one across my rear windscreen :(

O.O NEED DETAILS NAO!!!

lol nothing very special man..

I ended up choosing TE37SL's after trying on about 6 different sets.

was between them and bronze TE37's in the end, tougher looking curve on the spokes of the SL's and I kind of didnt want to do the super common bronze.

The SL's have a tiny bit of red from stickers etc which just went with the tiny bits of red I already have on car (gtr badges / nismo wing end caps and of course the hot plates)

so ill be running them in the next few weeks until the Panasports are repaired and then probably swapping between them pretty often.

trying to buy some of the adapters from racing sciences so I can run some center caps with them for something a little different.

/wheel collection begins.

    • 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.
    • It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!
    • Nominally yes but I’m not really at that stage yet. Outsourcing to Japan is also a relatively good deal at the moment because their currency has devalued much more against the USD.  You would assume this but a lot has changed from the pandemic. Mechanics are in short supply and demand for fixing old cars has gone up from the cost of new cars. 250-300 USD/hr is not an unusual shop labor rate in California and you’re paying that regardless of whether the guy is competent or not. Coworkers have been quoted 3000 USD for a water pump and thermostat at a dealer on an N54. Oil changes went from ~75 USD to 150 on fairly normal cars like Civics. The cost of the oil and filter hasn’t even kept up with inflation.
