1x Family + 2x R34 GT-Rs + 3x Sets of Wheels

Perhaps over time, God_speed and myself can post up some more pics - especially when the 3rd set of wheels come back from gutter rash repair.

The 2 cars are * a neat Pearl Black Standard R34 GT-R circa 2000 & * a yet to be polished Bayside Blue V-Spec II R34 GT-R circa 2001

We'll try out different combinations of Car 'n Wheels over time too.

The 3 sets of Wheels are * Rays RE30 in Titanium (offset +15, 10") * Advan RG30 in Gold/Blue (offset +12, 10") * Nismo LMGT4 in Bronze (offset +12, 10.5") all 18s

Hi Terry,

I have a 2000 Black R34 GTR V-Spec as well... being on the look out for some nice wheels in a year or so time .."saving for a set of GT-SS hairdryers at the moment "

but i think the Rays RE30 in Titanium is just awesome on black GTR....do they come in Silver as well...

Always though the 18inch will look a bit small on the GTR for RE30.... guess not

Would love some Nismo GT4 in silver for the car... but way out of my price range... not a big fan of the bronze on black R34 GTR... would look killer on the BBlue...however..

either way.....excellent cars...photos

Hey Kushil,

We've still got the RE30s if you want to check them out. They're 18x9.5 +15 with 265 35 ZR18 Bridgestone RE001s on them. They're Formula Silver with the Diamond cut rim - check out the Rays Website: http://www.rayswheel....jp/indexe.html. The other colours were Chrome Silver and Bronze for the RE30.

Cheers

Matt

After a formal detail by Eugene aka "JDM Performance" here on SAU

[babyskyline]

Michael, he started at 10.30am and finished at 8.15.

Eugene is meticulous! It helps when you have the passion.

Eugene also tested the paint thickness before the polishing stage, and came up with this!...

Usually, Nissan Skyline GT-R paint is between 80-120 microns thick on the bodywork, but my car registered around 323 microns.

He assumed that because that thickness was on every panel (the C/F bonnet can't be tested, because the machine measures between metal to metal), the whole car had been resprayed. The detail was done on 18/6/11.

Now here's the interesting part.

Todd from JapLink emailed his mechanic in Nara the technician who sourced my car late last year.

The reply that night, 20/6/11, confirmed that my car had never been in an accident (which I already knew), but that...

R34 GT-Rs in Bayside Blue have 4 coats of paint - not 2 (or 3 in the case of chromemulsion MP paint). They have 2x base coats and 2 top coats before the clear.

Additionally, my car had the 'glass paint treatment' from the original owner, and this explains why the paint is so thick on my car.

Even GT-Ts in Bayside Blue only have 2 coats of paint. So only the Bayside Blue GT-Rs have 4 coats.

Peter owner of BodyformAero also mentioned that the Bayside Blue GT-R had a thicker base coat (info that he'd sourced separately).
