Perfect! Bring it to the September track day, so you can side pipe me again hahaha.

[jeffworld2]

That looks amazing!

Always wanted to do this myself

[JimmyRickard]

Thanks everyone, looking back at what I had planned I am really really happy with how it turned out, credit to Planned Signs at Minto who took this project as seriously as I did and make sure it was perfect. Looking at photos of the original car and models I think it's about as close I could get it to the original and I'm stoked

You coming trackday next month??

Doesn't look like it. Need some work done on the diff and gearbox. This is only the beginning

Was a nice car....now a very COOL car. Love the final touches...copies of period race cars often run the risk of being try hard BS shitboxes. Your's looks tough!

I know exactly what you mean. Most of the other replicas of his car I've seen looked like shit. A little attention to detail and a lot of assistance from some helpful people (especially from SAU) goes a long way!

Thanks again everyone who commented and pitched in with photos and logos and stuff. You guys are alright

Looks great jimmy, well done

[GTR-N1]

You're to be commended for this Jimmy.

I do expect to see some of your pics on Car Shops' Wallpapers around town pretty soon!

Hey guys, after a set of rear bumper lights like these:

anyone got some spares laying about?

[JimmyRickard]

Cars going in to Award to get the diff shimmed and gearbox freshened up. Should be interesting when it comes back.

[levinboy]

Do you have any idea of price?? PM if you like

Need to do exact same for mine when I pull the engine

[Jordy32]

What a car, that's just awesome! nice work

Hey guys, after a set of rear bumper lights like these:

I'm currently contacting places trying to find a brand new set. will let you know if i have any luck.

[JimmyRickard]

Just got the car back from Award. Had the gearbox reco'd and replaced all the synchros, modded the transfer case and shimmed the rear diff with Nismo plates.

Diff feels super aggressive and awesome just putting it on the trailer, should make a big difference. Here she is hanging out the front of Award. These guys have done a really great job at an awesome price. Terry knows about GTR diffs and gearboxes, I wouldn't take it anywhere else.

Anyone know someone in Sydney who could fabricate a shifter like this:

[JimmyRickard]

Was at Trackday Club on the weekend and had a shocker. Missed the first two sessions f**king around with the catch can, went out and bent the HICAS lock bar, said f**k it and went out again lost boost pressure so we packed up and went home. Also couldn't get the motherf**king shift-i to work. Not a good day.

At least the car looks good

[JimmyRickard]

Quick update - New forged engine coming and e85 tune. Should make things interesting.
