Firstly, f**k you. Your car looks f**king mint, and now I don't want to sell my silver 32 4-door.... -_-

As for the rims, go the penny... or personally, I'd paint the centres black... much easier to maintain... cleaning brake dust out of spokes is a real pain in the arse. Oh, and surely you can rip that 20 out? everyone knows the best cheap upgrade for a 20 is a 25 ;)

I'll be following your build, keep up the good work mate.

haha thanks!

i was going to get the centres copper plated but it wasnt worth it.

and, the 20 wont be in for long.. RB26 no shit!

have decided not to go RB26/30 as itll be a bitch to engineer, at least i can buy a written off, or non complaible GTR and transfer all the guts, by all of the guts i mean all sub frames etc making the car a proper GTB4 replica.

Might be a dumb question but when you say dog legs, which parts are you talking about?

Edit: looked back through your earlier pics and see what you meant now. Will have a look tonight.

Yeah the kit is pretty f**king average! Did your's not line up from the rear door to the leading edge of the rear 1/4?

It looks like I'm going to have to build up where the door cover meets the door at the rear edge to push it out to where it needs to be.

I wont steal your thunder anymore, but expect to be hearing from me again asking for advice, lol!

    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
