looks the shit.. good work

Thanx man gotta really thank my dad the most man f**k he put long hours into the car i mean there is not even an imperfection in it and if anyones ever sprayed a black car they will understand how hard that is. I got to buy him a johnny Blue or something :)

Umm well me and dad did all the prep on our own after work and late nights materials were around 700 including tapes paints clear hardener bog etc all the little bits and pieces and the john in dandy sprayed my parts for me bumpers skirts etc so all up from him it cost me 800 for his time to spray and the hire of the booth etc and he jumped in and helped out and masked the car up with us and was extremely helpful.

thanx man . I have a quick question do you guys think i should spray the bottom lip matte black like they come out or leave it as is? Because im getting alot of people saying not to do it but i have a feeling it will look more factory if i do it....????

Looks great man and just like new!

As for your front lip, it would not really matter as your car is already black.

Mine was painted Gunmetal Grey, same colour as my car and it nice as it blends in.

I probley do it if you had the Wine Red colour R32, the Matt Black front lip just sticks out bit too much, a big contrast.

If your doing it your self you will have so much fun just the whole process is like a learning experience and its great to do i mean now i can offer a little advice to people on the whole process and what to do and what not to do so its really good and i mean my face is like this :P when im driving it so the hard work and long hours did pay off.

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
