Ah great i found a picture of that car too!!! It's nice to see some different kits made for the GTR, coz it's really hard to make a GTR look more modern, unlike the supras they are really easy to dress up!

Here's another two interesting kit dat i found on www.carsales.com.au. I can't believe that R32 are selling like below 25k now! must be the work of the 15 yr rule. grrrrrr

I was under the impression that Autostyle were never going to sell them as a kit seperately. Instead they just fit them to THEIR cars......fullstop.

Ring em and ask though. Might be worth confirming this.

actually Autostyle's GTR started out as a GTSt innit I read something like that in the Autospeed writeup?

Also for the S14

anyways the headlights are made by a mob called Infinity in japan. we've contacted them and after a LOT of pleading and begging and international phone calls we've found a set of R32 ones to pull moulds off :P so yeah who wants a copy when we get aaround to makin em?

Infinity have ceased production of this product and absolutely refuse to make any more... bah humbug... was after these things for the last few years, was quite surprised to see em show up on a Autospeed article. And contacting autostyle is futile, they absolutely refuse to make copies for anyone.

since then i've grown less n less fascinated by them twin headlights, esp because they don't comply to ADR's completely lol (if you follow the rule book anyways).

Since then I've started making a prototype headlight that should have a clear glass cover (no diffuse) and still maintain twin projector style lights AND a highbeam.

I like the autostyle head light coz it reminds me of the R34 lits a bit, more rectangular shapped instead of the roundish shape. and also the colour really matches nicely. sad that's its not legal if u say so

the R33's are pretty much like that already behind the perspex, what is this about the ADR's in regards to the twin lights?

the infinty headlights (can we not call em autostyle headlights please! :P) are pretty tacky if you ask me, and they arent' too expensive... i looked att he way the bulbs were placed and I was like... eww.. they look pretty bad close up.

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      Yeah, that's when. I guess you could say I'm as patient as I am foolish(or just a masochist?🤔). I've strongly considered throwing in the towel and calling it all quits many times, and have almost done so. It's a first-world problem for sure, but I've had a pretty rough go of it, as well as other factors; hoping something good comes of all this; it has to. It definitely is half the price of the ATS and performs great, but I'd like to try something different for once. I've sampled the ATS in a friend's 32 and it's solid👍

      I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.

      Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.

      Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.

      It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!
