Hi all,

Many of you have been following a couple of our Project Cars that we have been working on, in-house at Just Jap Racing over the past few years, particularly Darrons BNR32, which was previously Gun Metal Grey, so I thought I would put up a thread with some of the progress pictures showing the final result of the cars recent repaint and exterior update.

Inspired by the R35 GTR, we chose to paint the car in R35 Titanium Grey, and we are fairly certain that this is the first car in the country to be repainted in this specific colour though we have no doubt others will follow :D

The paintwork was handled by Andy at Complete Smash in Sydney (02 9521-3933) and we are delighted with the results.

We took the chance to replace all the original perished window seals and rubbers with Brand New Genuine items for a quality result

We hope you enjoy the before and after shots.

Before - Standard Bodywork - Factory Gunmetal Grey, finished off with 18" URAS NS-01's

After - Complete Refinish in R35 GTR Titanium Grey

We went for only subtle upgrades to the actual bodywork so as not to ruin the R32 GTR classic lines, so we added N1 Side Skirts, and finished the car off with R34 GTR wheels which perfectly compliment the colour, and an SRI Carbon N1 Boot Lip and SRi Carbon N1 Front Bar Vents.

For anyone interested we have a stack of brand new Carbon Fibre Gear now available so don't forget to check out our website.

More updates to come.

Thanks to all for your support - We hope you enjoy.

Cheers,

Steve Thatcher

only criticism is the colour of the brakes looking out of place but thats nothing major

Thanks mate, we are considering doing something about the calipers :P

Cheers,

Steve

Gosh I love the carbon air ducts for the FMIC!

Thanks mate :P We are now stocking them for R32 and R33.

Possible Group Buy happening soon!

Due to the number of pm's and requests we have had from customers of late, we are also now stocking a lot more Carbon for a variety of models.

More updates to come hopefully today showing the repainted RB26 engine covers which we had done in the same colour as the bodywork, and finished the coil pack cover off with an HKS valley badge.

Cheers guys, and thanks for the feedback.

Steve

    • 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.
