97 Bcnr33 Vspec/ 99 Bnr34 V Spec Build

[JDM33]

So the story i goes i started off in my apprentice years reading through HPI mags and AUTOSALON, sifting through the pages and becoming a sucker for the GT-R.

However at the age of 18 there was no way i could afford it, so i put all my hard earned on a Gts-t instead. Which was my pride and joy for two years, started off completely stock then added mild mods featuring

coilovers

blitz boost controller

hks front mount

x force full system

carbon boot and bonnet and some enkei rims

Bride brix II

OS Giken clutch

how it started

end result

now i look back on it there are many things i wouldnt have done. After this i jumped over to the dark side, purchasing a then new 08 6.2L V8 6 speed manual VE maloo. have had the car for two years and now puts out 487hp at the rears

a nice car to drive and very torquey but something was missing. I searched through carsales looking for something at a decent price and a good base to start with.

then i found this!!

97 series 3 with re55s semi's, some hks pods, cat back exhaust and nismo suspension.

from here my bank balance took a dive as the idea's built up

sweet GTR

your GTST looked better in the before pics imo though

[UWISSH!]

Car looks nice but deffinately get rid of that bonnet

[JDM33]

thanks guys, i agree with you about the GTST. Which is why i said i wouldnt have done certain things if i could go back. Also as of yesterday i just got my standard bonnet back as it was given to me in a pretty bad state!!

from there it went straight to C-Red tuning in Perth to receive some goodness

HKS frount mount

KOYO radiator

DBA slotted rotors and new tie rods

HKS dumps

TRUST front pipes

2860-5'S

BOSCH 670cc injectors

along with these i got a APEXI N1 cat back, power fc was first originally used but had problems running the injectors...... so i swapped over to a HALTECH plug and play and that fixed it

[UWISSH!]

Very nice list of goodies there. Keen to see how this turns out.

Good luck with the build mate, realy can't beat a gtr

[GCC GTR]

Nice list of parts mate.I also had problems with my power fc running Delphi injectors, my tuner said the power fc couldn't open them fast enough. I switched to a set of sards and all good now.

[snozzle]

sard ftw! the 700cc sards are a great drop in injector with no fuss

[JDM33]

so from here the car went on to make 390.7hp atw on 95 octane. As im from the pilbara, thats all we have so far. But plenty left in it when we do get it in a couple years... even though we pay $168.7 just for 95 already...... thats a different story.

from here i went on to replace my rims. Supposedly the rims on there were TE37's....

after a couple of weeks wait, i got my hands on these babies!!

on the car

wrapped in nitto NT05's!

[JDM33]

after the rims got sorted, i sought to get rid of the old and faded spoiler

replaced with AUTO SELECT devil wing

before

after

also changed out my tail lights to QEST items. nothing beats them!!

before

after

these have transformed the way the car looks at night and couldnt be happier. They use standar nissan lights, so fitment is not a problem!!

[pistol-pete]

+1 on the Qest lights, so happy with mine

[levinboy]

car looks great mate!!!

Question for you, where can i get a set of Qest tail lights??

[elrodeo666]

car looks great mate!!!

Question for you, where can i get a set of Qest tail lights??

Want these..pm me for details

[JDM33]

cheers guys, i ordered them through streeter. In saying that Marcus was a great help!! They really are worth every coin.

i ordered them with black LED board. You get three options, this is what the black looks like

[levinboy]

I think black looks the best also helps having the same colour car as you

[JDM33]

your not wrong, the white and the crystal options are way too ricer imo. Silver BCNR's ftw

updates*

ordered some freshen up parts for interior and exterior from rhdjapan.... just waiting on shipment

[JDM33]

standard bonnet got a respray

new LED's for the entire car, waiting on my interior gear to arrive before fitment

cant wait to see how it turns out. Sick of seeing that faded yellow tinge on the dash cluster

[JH32]

Mate that looks mint, great job! Looks so much better with the stock bonnet and the new rims

[snozzle]

that is car pornography right there!! very hot mate.. very hot!!

[Piggaz]

Car looks fantastic with the super laps! Although nothing externally has been done, the car looks very 'completed'. Sometimes less is more *thumbsup*

[Weapon]

Agreed there The rims are a very nice contrast to the KR4 silver, ties in really well. I really need to pull my finger out and buy some series 3 xenon lights since mine got swapped out at compliance

Great list of mods so far to
