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.

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.

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.

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?

      City of Casey - This is obscene!

      Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.

      Wiring high beams in IC7 for R32 GTR

      By BourneToLive · Posted

      Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know.

      RB30DET timing belt tensioner relocation query

      By zigrb30 · Posted

      G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.

      Smoothline aka Matthew stone

      By DanielStone · Posted

      Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
