ooooh very nice!... is it wrong I feel like licking the paintwork... geez Mick does some good work

ps. get some tire shine on those RE55's Snowy!

LOL - look it was 37 degs or something when I got the car. It was FAR to hot to do all the nice little things. It was almost too hot to taken any pictures let alone be fancy with them.

Hopefully one day shortly I'll get a couple more good shots. Complete with the black rims and tyre shine (just for you Nick).

Haha - less than 2 weeks. My 1st rally is on Jan 31st in Tassie. The car is being entered as a 2005 Nismo GT-R Z Tune (hence why I've done the kit).

Looks really nice andrew, I love the agressinve look of the Z tunes.

if the car is being entered into a rally as a Z tune, doesnt it have to actually be a Z tune. when they have a closer look at the car surely they would be able to tell if its the real deal?

good luck with it anyway! :happy:

Regarding competition stickers.

Why don't you buy some "paint friendly" vynle, that is somewhat easy to remove, stick the competition stickers on your vynle, then cut around the sticker and stick that to your car. This would make the removal of the stickers easier and will not peel the clear coat off your car.

The sponsors of the event really don't give a shit what adhesive they use on their stickers and if it marks/strips the paint on a car. Just an idea to keep the car looking mint, after the event has come and gone.

looks nuts dude.

question why not do the skirts in black to match the lip and more Z Tune like??? but looks hot either way

wanna sell me you stock GTR bonnet??? lol

cant believe such a hot car is only a race car :) (or is it road registered as well???)

cant wait to see this in flesh at deca or next track day.

its road registered as far as i know. you might even see it around

Well given basically none of the N1 GT-R's doing targa are actual N1's the short answer is no it doesn't matter that it's not the genuine article. You can follow guidelines and build a "replica" which is the common thing to do for many of the cars including EVO's (RS) and WRX's (Spec C, 22b etc) amoungst other cars. Then of course there is the classics. I think you'd find a large % of the entrants are in non-genuine cars simply because the genuine ones cost far to much to buy and then butcher into race cars! Hell even the 2 well know Lambo Superlegga's aren't genuine ones (just standard Gallardo's) and I bet by the time Targa rolls around we'll see a couple of R35 GT-R Spec V's listed as well.

As for the Nav Age - James is doing the job first up and Dan is stepping in for April.

nice paint job there i had my car done at mi colour when this car was there and i have to say the work done at this place is 100%

now it is a Race car and this nice paint job will be stuffed as soon as u hit the track lol

Well I just picked the car up from Mick @ Micolour who has finished fitting the new Z Tune kit and spraying the whole car.

It's come up brilliantly (pics don't do it justice - will have to get some better ones later but it's too hot out there right now). But I'm wrapped with how it's turned out :P

Looks great!

is it the nismo z-tune bits, which are about 1500 USD for the l/r front wings alone, or are they look-alikes?

does the engine vent through the sides now, any decrease in temps?

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
