Hahaha, OMG that bonnet is awesome. But I've already set out with my plan toward modifying my babe, GTR front, Chargespeed bonnet, full respray in Starfire Lexus Pearl White (best white colour I've heard). Carbon diffuser, rear and front splash guard and clear indicator signal light are now on the way. Only performance-wise mods to be purchased, that includes BC BR Coilovers, one complete set of sway bars + camber kit (front & rear) and a set of front and rear slotted disc rotors. Like i said, I know they are no away to compete with Tein and Cusco, respectively but imo they are good bang for bucks. here is the link for sway bars and camber. If you guys can throw in any comment that would be great ;)http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/GODSPEED-350z-g35-suspension-sway-bar-front-camber-rear-toe-arm-rear-camber-/300803383628

Ah, btw, I'm considering between these 2 suppliers for disc rotors:

1. GSL Rallysports: Always heard good feedback from this guy and apprently prices are cheap. I've already called, they can do about $550 front and rear slotted to fit non-brembo calipers

2. Rapid Rs: it's said the rotors are genuine and they come in slotted or slotted dimpled. Looks very nice yet not sure about quality. I've read from falcon forum, this guy doesnt seem to get bad feedback. Here are the links to their products:

Slotted: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NISSAN-SKYLINE-V35-2-5-3-0-STAGEA-RDA-FULL-SETBRAKE-ROTORS-SLOTTED-296MM-292MM-/150823403296?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item231dc67f20 ($322 + delivery $35)

Slotted dimpled http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NISSAN-SKYLINE-V35-2-5-3-0-STAGEA-FULL-SETBRAKE-ROTORS-UPG-SLOTT-296MM-292MM-/151064551742?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item232c26213e ($402 + delivery $35)

Anyone could help me out with decision making here. lol, I'm procastinating all the times :))

  • 8 months later...

Greddy + Chargespeed is what I would vote for if I had a gun to my head.

Honestly though, the 3 gtr front bars look absolute trash. It's really cheap and doesn't suit the car.

Also not a big fan of people putting carbon/FRP bonnets on what is, for all intents and purposes, a luxury GT car. Unless you are packing big horsepower, there is no need for it

The urethane Nismo bar is the only way to go .... you WILL regret your decision to go fibreglass the 2nd time to hit it on something and you are up for a new bar plus painting. FG just sucks.

Oh, I happen to have a urethane Nismo bar for sale :)

I'll take it one step further with the GTR mods to say that it will make the car look cheap and tacky because it's pretending to be a car worth way more than what it actually is. If you really like the GTR look, then the only way is to buy a real GTR. Otherwise, you will look like a fool.

    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

    • Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
    • And half of them have been converted to turbos.
