R32 Gtr Fresh From Japan.. Almost

[Anfanee]

Coming along nicely!

[GRKGTR]

Small update, 

Extinguisher and bracket fitted under drivers seat. Pretty straight forward really!

 

New window retainers fitted..

 

And thought I'd treat myself to a brand new KL0 badge!

[okooko]

Nice badge. I still haven't put on my new set of KLO GTR badge and Nissan boot badge.

Have you got a pic with the ganadors on?

[Clintox]

I'm still buffing/polishing the Ganadors, so I should have them on this weekend if all goes well.

I can't believe the price of those weatherstrips...the 32 is becoming the equivalent of an old school aussie muscle car in terms of parts & price

In Japan they are going for $1k per side.

Only thing remaining to set it off is a good set of wheels.. Soon!

Awesome! I managed to pick up some as well in CF last week.

What boss kit is that?

And what rims are you thinking? Omori LMGT4's? haha

Cheers bud! Can't go wrong with Ganadors lol

Works Bell boss kit...

Too many people have LMGT4's but I need something that will fit R35 Brembos

Haven't updated in a while so here's a few more additions to the inventory that have occurred in the past month..

I had the front half of my car wrapped with clear stone guard protection from Ozicozi.. No point taking photos as you can't tell it's on the car!! But it's an amazing job and will serve it's purpose on the road/track and save me from repainting panels in the future.

SARD Fuel rail

Also picked up an R33 GTR Powersteering pump for when I get the hicas removed, no photo for this.

SPOON Rigid Collars for the rear, 
I had these fitted in recent days (did not get an alignment, this will be done when all the new arms are fitted) and I can say I'm extremely happy with the result.. A few problems have been fixed by fitting these including backlash from the rear subframe. 
I will be getting the front set in the near future to have everything 110% straight.

Ikeya Formula Front Camber Arms -10mm version which I believe will allow about 3 degrees negative camber..

And finally, I have been looking for this for the past couple of years and never found one for sale.. So when this popped up on yahoo japan I had to have it without question..

ARC 100mm Titanium Exhaust, 130mm tip !!

Nice one, did these fix your issue with the wheels poking out 3-4mm to the left?

They have helped move it back about 2-3mm to the middle now but I just need to get a wheel alignment for it to be 100%

Looking good mate

[willL]

Mate, that freshen up of your front and rear seats looks great.

Do you know what was done to achieve it or who did it in Japan?....looks like they were dyed to bring back factory colour?

Hey Will,

It was done while the car was still in Japan by Garage Yoshida.. 
I'm not sure on the exact process, I think it is a dye of some kind but the seats feel completely normal and there is no sign of the colour fading. All in all, i'm extremely happy that I had it done!
