That is a R-tune bonnet with nismo z-tune fenders. I have all the Z-tune smoked lenses will install them once car is running.

Below are some pics that may help you.

I also have some spare nismo rear guard covers like the z-tune.

Cheers Bobby,

How much for the rear guard covers?

I know what the top pic looks like all to well!

Hey do you know where the splitter came from in either pic?

Hi,

The rear guard cover im after $500 for it as they are original nismo.

The splitter i got custom made by bodyform. I can organise one to be made if you like.

How good is the finish on the splitter, is it pinholed at all?

I have been chatting to Empire Aero too, does anyone know if they are any good?

Good to get some feedback about the quality of the various body parts available out there. I was considering these:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1999-2001-Nissan-Skyline-R34-NS-Carbon-Fiber-Fenders-/330539641484?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4cf5b2aa8c

Considering how cheap the USD is now, as well as being carbon, it would be interesting to see what the fitment quality is like.

Edit:

I'll add... while it might seem pricy. I'd rather pay double than have to pay a body guy to get some substandard quality guards to fit correctly by filling them with bog. 1/2 the time they would never be identical from left to right if they had to be "custom fitted" as well...

seibon stuff is not bad. but i haven't personally used their 34 gear.

I bought the sunline guards that we put on berry's R34 and they were perfect. fit and hang just like a factory guard. amazing quality. they do FRP guards too which are quite a bit cheaper than carbon. the kagotani bar we used on that car fitted perfectly too.

the nismo stuff of course has the best fit. basically oem quality but is very expensive.

  • 4 weeks later...

Finally I have had the chance to do some work on the car, it has been a pretty big couple of weeks.

On the engine front, we are delayed by the sump and rings at this stage, they are both in the water somewhere making their way to Australia, so the block and head remain as they were.

In regards to the body, I did get some primer on the front end, it is working as a bit of a tell tale coat, showing up pin holes of which there are many! As many have said previously, buy the NISMO parts, you could easily spend the other $7,000 on making them look respectable. Lots of bubbles, pinholes and pretty sloppy workmanship unfortunately. But at least it isn't holding up the project at the moment, so the time taken isn't much of a factor.

The supplier sent out some mesh for the cavities on the bumper and guards, it is a little too large. the stuff that came with the bonnet is a little too small.

Does anyone know where you can get mesh of the same size and similar strength of the original GTR infills?

    • I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it 
    • Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare. 
    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
