Looking spot on jez. Have you thought about putting a rear window spoiler on?

[jez NF]

^^^^^ Cheers mate......yeah seems I have been "spoilt" for choice by way of spoilers at the moment !!

These are in the mail........hope the gamble pays off....have heard mixed stories - BUT WE SHALL SEE

[colourclassic]

They will look awesome how do you fit something like that.

+1 for gtr front fenders

[jez NF]

^^^^^ with a fair bit of work to be honest.....but its the road I have always wanted to go down so there is no turning back now.

They arrived this morning......

My mini project is well on its way too.....

[jez NF]

Update:
After a bit of searching around for some place decent to have the work done I have narrowed it down to two possibilities. Either way cars going in in about a weeks time for the fender work...

Picked up a rear strut brace this morning...currently fitting it up

Had to sand back the spots of surface rust anyway...so decided to give it a lick of paint while I was about it.....

Few small updates:

Rear brace all fitted up......(forgot to take a picture).....no noticeable difference in handling (as expected)...tad more rigidity at best.

Took Tom up on his $69 service offer at PZP because I was being lazy and got an oil and filter change.....can swear the car feels smoother but then again you are supposed to think these things !!

Currently speaking to Andrew at Maddog Customs - want my rocker covers painted and engine bay tidied up a bit.

Also waiting to hear back from the panel and paint place - car was supposed to go in next week for the fender work.

Project: Rear over-fenders

Dropped off the car.

Discussed options by way of cutting out the arches thereby achieving more clearance, welding the inside and outside edges together to prevent any moisture and dirt getting in and getting a "smoother look" and also looked at possible rim fitments down the line.

ITS HAPPENING !!

Excitement overload

[jez NF]

SAU is really dying......members hardly post anymore

However....I will keep updating this thread because I am still very much in love with my car and what I do and besides it helps me keep track of what I have done when.

So update:

Went to the panel and paint place this morning to check on the progress being made......its coming along nicely - almost ready for primer.

(did not take any pictures)

I also picked up a set of rocker covers (thanks Selven) which I plan to prep and paint myself - with a slight rather interesting twist...so stay tuned for that.

How I got them....

After a good degrease and wash.....

Looking good mate .

[Manuel Kasko]

Lol it's not dying!

I check this thread every time you update it.

[gtr judd]

Dont stop mate, I enjoy your thread, I missed the one about the gaurd update but

Anyways keep it going. I love what your doing here

[SCR48]

What colour are you painting your covers mate? I ended up doing mine black

[jez NF]

[jez NF]

..............and thank you ALL for the support and enthusiasm.....makes it all the more worthwhile

Absolutely love the thread mate, always been watching it, just never comment on anything, never found a need haha, I'm also from Perth and finally got my skyline back yesterday after a long time, be great to have a chat and so forth.

keep up the good build

[SCR48]

I'm definitely interested to hear your feedback in regards to the over fenders. I've been tossing up for a long time between over fenders, flares or GTR guards...

[jez NF]

Cheers Cameron

Scott the guard project was a great success.....it is subtle enough to not "stick out and slap you in the face" and mean enough to "create a stir".

I LOVE IT - just waiting to get the rims out a bit more and I reckon it will look wicked !!

IMO the car is looking the best it has ever done.......
