Lewis’s R34 Fourdoor Build Thread

[Madaz]

Looking good man

More reps here for Andrew search you tube channels for madazrx8 and you will find my exhaust build video when he was in his old workshop

[niksta]

Completely off topic but niksta do live in the flagstaff hill, hub or happy valley area by any chance?

Nope, I live in North Haven, why's that , seen a car similar?

[Volk34]

yeh and i looked at your profile thingo n the area where ur cars parked looks similar to my estate... oh well no worrys lol

[Volk34]

So i had a bit of a day with nothing really to do apart from lay around down by the pool so i gave the skyline a full wash and a huge go over with the clay! it was the first time iv used the clay & spray and i was kinda sceptical but now i would recommend it to anyone! Made the paint on the car look 10 years younger and made it really POP! The photos below cant really do it justice but yeah have a look!

i cant get over it hey! Soo smooth and shiny!

[nicr4wks]

Paint came up tops, now I want to go out and buy a clay bar

Looks shit hot with that suspension in too, nice work 

[NA_Goodness]

I love Clay Bar, the end result is unbelievable! Pity its so annoying to do though Car's looking good man, nicely done so far!

[Volk34]

i wouldn't say annoying but time consuming works! i was doing with the Arctic Monkeys going, when though 2 albums twice!

The paint is so smooth after like i left the soft rag on the bonnet and no joke it slid down and nearly fell on the ground lol

[DJRIFT]

i was recommended the mothers clay bar to remove over spray off some parts i brought. i was very sceptical but it worked a treat. ive doen a few cars since and not only does it make them as smooth as a Brazilian but also gives the paint a depth that only the eye can see.

[Volk34]

Alright things are getting exciting now!

On saturday i went down to tirepower blackwood and got my tires taken off the gtr wheels & the stockies went back on its not a happy site..

Anyway's Tuesday just done i dropped the wheels off at the powedercoaters There going to blast them and fix all the gutter rash then give them a nice gloss black i hope there really gunna set the car off, i havent seen any Gtr wheels around Adelaide so i hope this is something different!

Also

Yesterday i went and saw Pete down at Autosport and ordered myself both drivers and passengers Velo Podium 2's, i thought the black was really to plain so i went and upped the wank factor and got them all blue with a white "Velo" on the top instead of the yellow.

and one final thing

My centre console is getting the carbon fibre treatment, from the gear boot up over the ashtray, the din slots, climate control unit & the vents. below are some sneak peeks

So last night i came home to a nice surprise... My housemate had gone and picked up my wheels without me knowing

The gloss black looks great they have done a fantastic job, the rash is all fixed you would never have known that they had been scuffed! Unfortunately because the centre caps are plastic they couldn't get done which is gay but that couldn't be helped. BUT i had discussed with the guy and he did say that he will give me a tin of touch up and i can do them myself....housemate didn't know this and didn't get the tin.....Soooo i wont be running my caps until i can get down to the dude get the tin and then get them painted K no impressed...

Pics-

Anyways back on track....They have been booked in to Tirepower Blackwood for the 27^th of Feb to get them rubberd up & a wheel alignment (hasn't had one since the coilovers when in) and yeah J cant wait to see them on the car!

My custom Velos are ready to be picked up too just need to get my ass down there haha then they can get fitted up and in & the wank upgrade is complete

(ill post pics when i see some)

O and forgot about this the other day lol The CFT is all in and im over the moon with it, just need to get the 3gauges done now and should be sweet...

what do you guys think?

[Madaz]

i think that colour is very hard to read

and the rims looks nice

from a distance the CF looks good too

[XRATED]

Is that printed cf pattern on the trim pieces? It looks way to neat to be an overlay. Who did the trim work?

Your 4 door is comming along quite well.
