One of the surprises that I was alluding to earlier relates to myself being a wheel whore and the black and white storm trooper theme, well take a look at these:

You gotta love the Japlish:

Custom satin black finish- good to look at; a bastard to keep clean!

Not as much concavity as a set of 18X10.5 +12:

Nothing like a fat girth!

Took over 6 months to get my hands on these

This beast needs grip too:

Latest release in Australia - Advan Neova Ad08

The grip exceeds that of Bridgestone RE010R and Hankook K107 by far. However, still not as good as R Spec tyres.

Look at that aggressive tread design - flaming! Tread wear is at a respectable 180.

Let's start from the very beginning...... 2002 BNR34 VSpec II NUR purchased from Zele International in Japan through Powerplay Imports. It was delivered over two years ago. The car was in 5A condit

Picture of Racepace stage one exhaust as requested. This may look like any garden variety aftermarket exhaust, but there are lots of hidden sneaky tricks to make the turbos spool hard and fast.

I think VHT wrinkle spray paint was used on Catch can and cam covers. The finish is non uniform and looks kinda cool.

The car is certainly 100% completed!

I will post dyno result and final pics of car on the weekend.

STOP TEASING US!!!!!

Are you coming to DECA with this GTR?

Im beginnign to wonder if this isnt another Racepace viral marketing thread! But who cares, I still want to see the diference Vcam makes to low end torque on this beast. And since Im racing this weekend im not going to see the dyno sheet till monday now.

Any chance you can tell us where you got that nice dashboard mat from?

now this guy is just f**king with us, lmao

wat a depressing thread!!

i see the pics and i think, fml, makes my car look like a grain of salt lol

My intention is certainly NOT to mess with anyone or to offend anyone. I am just a guy who likes his GTR and thought it would be a good idea to share the fruits of my labour (btw many many extra hours of it mind you) with everyone!

Can't make it to DECA as I have to work on those days to pay off the debt the car owns me!

I assure you, this is not a marketing ploy by Racepace. However, I am their loyal customer and they have done a superb job, therefore I am just giving them a thumbs up!

I bought the dash mat from Superior, can be ordered from any private JDM importer.

Cheers

Matt

I love the look of black wheels on a white car. Makes it look tough

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
