Thought id share my experience with the cars ive owned …..

Of course all JDM ;-)

Started off driving in a Corolla AE92 GT-I but hey lets not count that …

So second car that I always wanted was an RNN14 (GTI-R)

Had that for 3 years and was a really good car (bar the clutch)

I took her to a lot of GTI-R meetings in the UK

Having had the GTI-R, I got the 32 GT-R bug, and sorted myself out with one of those, sadly the GTI-R had togo to fund this purchase.

After 2 years with the GTR, (having been using it for an everyday car), I borrowed a recently imported & unregistered EVO 6TME as a courtesy car, whilst some work was done on my GTR. I thought it was really nice to drive and a better "all rounder" esp on british roads than the 32.

So ended up buying it a week later

(The Evo was tuned by Signal Auto, hence why the muffler is on the other side)

The Evo was cool, and I kept that for 18months, but exported the 32 to Sweden…

Always wanted an R34 GT-R and the evo never felt like a GT-R / RB …so had to go back to GT-R ownership

Next came my 1 owner from new (2000), Nismo Omori owned 34

About to be loaded on to the boat in 2007

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
