After recieving the quick photo around lunch time today i was pretty eager to check out the changes to the front of the car. All I can say is Naz from KMF customs is an absolute legend and has gone above and beyond after the car has been to 2 other workshops. Tthings are getting exciting now!!

When you look directly at the front of the car it looks very angry with the big wide front guards. I want to keep it at the current height but unfortunately even though its 110mm it really is too low if the car is turning. Just an excuse to save for roburto cups like Dave's for the front :P

i had one of my suppliers get it from the US. you have to buy it in 5m rolls at about US$200/m +shipping. its about $90/m more then high grade italian leather. using it is also difficult as it can wrinkle very easily etc but worth every penny

on saturday i started reintsalling the retrimed interior. i also installed an extra layer of dynmat behind the rear seat and another couple will be put in the boot over the exhaust side to baffel it even further from the cabin.

Concidering the price difference, would I buy a new GTR R35 or build something to your standard ? I'll build a car like yours any day. Congratulations. Very rarely do I make comment on other peoples cars as it is so subjective to taste. You sir have done well. I am not going to tell you what to change or even suggest, but my own taste would lean towards a tougher set of very light weight deep dish wheels. But that's just me. I don't like chrome. Normally I would not go for grey or charcoal but the Supra shape needs that sophistication as it looks more Porsche like.

    • Interesting, I've heard complete opposite on my end. Bit of a lottery I guess.
    • Getting Dangerously close to being ready to go back in the car. Rockers in with clearance castings now (and a quick check with the USA for the torque settings for the larger custom bolts) Covers and ported FAST Manifold sitting on there. Not fully tightened down as there's some clearancing required for the water pump with the earlier LS1 water pump styles. Example of the clearancing needing to be done: The body has to be ground a little but I'm struggling finding an actual piece of it. The later variant of water pump resolves the issue as the manifold was designed around it. It only came on the VZ LS1 in Australia, it got a different pulley for Gen4 motors. (it also costs $450... vs... $0).

    • Doing some height adjustment on front suspension on a v35 and noticed this. The passenger side looks correct. So wondering what's happened to the drivers side?
    • Oh...I have the electric mirrors as well iirc ...they're in the same state as just about every other R31 door mirrors, with the 3 plastic screw towers broken/cracked in the plastic molding. All the interior is 'dry', so the mirror switches etc likely all work fine. Some pics below of the trimmer pieces ~ looks to me like previous owner, painted chrome finished trims with black paint ...ergo, the chrome underneath is likely a-ok... ...starts to look yukky posting stuff like this, how much did it cost in fuel on your last sortie up this way?...me just thinking aloud, borrow someone else's 4cyl to cut costs, come do your own pick'n'pull like before to save me some bother...hehe.. but whatever, I'll just earmark bits I know you want, because the way this is all panning out, I'll be able to retire the R31 from daily duty at long last, replacing it with a Subaru wagon I'm lining up in the wings...ergo, my attitude towards the donor pinny shell is starting to wane a bit, and I'm more than happy to help you out there... Like you say though, no rush...and I'll guarantee we won't be moving too far from this locale at any rate 😎
