Get rear spats and maybe de-wing it?

If I still had mine, I'd do garden edging the lip on front bumper, get gtr offset rims and slam it, shame I sold it.

Cheers

I quite like the stock spoiler actually. I'd actually recommend pretty much leaving it as is and just enjoying it like that will give you a lot of trouble free driving I'd imagine.

[aussietroy]

yehh i like the stock spoiler too

do you guys think i should bother looking at body kits ??

and is the gtr bonnet conversion worth it ??

cheers

I have uras frontbar on mine which i'm about to take off to replace with standard GT-R .

[aussietroy]

oh yehh, ive seen your ride

JELOUS is only way i can describe haha

how much it costed you in mods ??

would of costed a mint

i reakon gtr front is the best option! how much did it cost you to do gtr bonnet and grill ?? is it easy to fit ?

[Sarumatix]

My car was very cheap from Japan back in 2004 when importing was relatively new for R32s. Haven't really spent much because most of it was already done, really the respray and the twinplate clutch were by far the two most expensive things I have done.

GT-R bars can be quite hard to track down, in your case I would try and wait for the same colour to come up and buy that rather than getting a cheaper one that is in the wrong colour . Ditto for Bonnet. Fitment is exactly the same as a GT-R although I have the guards as well, I believe it is a simple process to fit to gts-t guards. The important thing is that the stock GT-R bar actually has very good aero properties, is plastic and quite light, and does look fantastic. It's very hard to go past. The bonnet is also a great mod because the gts-t bonnet actually weighs a lot . Guards are not really worth the effort in my experience.

All this said, my GF has a stock gts-t that the Count was refering to and it's going to stay stock because really.. the stock setup is very good and looks very good too.

I think there is alot to be said about keeping the factory lines. Bodykits can look good but it its suprising how good a stock car can look when it has had some height cut out of it with some nice wheels.

[KURAUN]

thats why a vertex kit is good, it keeps the lines simple and not over the top like some of the other kits around

[aussietroy]

trueee

i think i might stick with the M kit

looks good as is i reakon

just touch up the paint/tint, cut the height and get some nice rims under it

[R324DOOOR]

lol got one the same but add gas and 5 stud convo

____ UPDATE _____

Just thought id update this topic with some new pics.

Still looks basically the same.

Sprayed the stock wheels black and removed the hubs.

Put in white dials for speedo + blue led's.

Momo steering wheel.

Race pedals.

Blue led's in the footwells (im a kid so dont flame ).

Currently got some clear indicators and a cannon sitting in the shed but not on the car as of yet.

still havnt touched up paint but im getting there haha.

Anyways tell me what you guys think

[Nic_A31]

That looks hot man.

Where are the white faced gauges from ? are they aftermarket or were they like that on some R32 s ?

Are those lights in the footwell full time? or only when door is opened ?

[aussietroy]

The gauge faces are aftermarket, got them off ebay cheap from a broken dash ($25) but you can buy them from ebay brand new for like $70 (rip off in my opinion for white plastic haha)

The footwell led's are hooked up to a switch so they can be on full time or when doors open or off.

[toffy]

haha i love the blue leds etc , you need to make the car low though

[aussietroy]

yes, im on it as soon as i get the finances !!

not sure whether to go king springs or coilovers but ...

[toffy]

coilovers .

apparently BC racing are the best of the cheap coilovers

[aussietroy]

yea they look alright, nothing but good reports on them

now to save up for them whilest getting afew little things fixed haha
