Hi guys new here from Texas. A good friend of mine importated A R32 GTR for me and restored it. I'm taking delivery this Friday pretty excited been waiting 4 months for the car. Car is a TH1 90 GTR, car has been fully repainted. I also own a bagged E30 Vert with a storker M20 a wide body big turbo E30 vert and a full bolt on F10 535i M sport.

I completely raided his spare parts bin when he re did the car. 

HKS down pipes 

HKS mid pipes 

test pipe to HKS hi power 

hks intercooler piping and full greedy intake don't remember the full name for it but the kit that replaces all the piping.

I also ordered a set of 18x10 Work meisters for it as well as a ARC intercooler and Augusta coil overs.  He also threw in a set of R34 turbos so I'm gonna have them rebuilt to N1 spec and pick up a set of tomei extreme manifolds to mate them up with. Power wise looking to make around 450hp to the wheels I know I'm gonna need alittle more then what I have so far but it's a good start. I've been reading through the forum for months before I joined so pretty excited to get the car and start getting into it. I've wanted a GTR since the OG Grand tursmio days but as you all know we just started being able to legally own them.

Thank you lol my buddy pushed me into them

lol I must have spent weeks trying to figure out if they would fit before I bought them. I had the fenders and quarters rolled before they painted the car plan on running 265/35 Nitto 555Rs. I plan on hitting up the used parts thread soon. Need to track down fuel upgrades and tunning.

ordering parts from RHDjapan is killing I've been waiting for the coil overs and ARC intercooler to ship for a month plus now

18x10 should fit fine provided they're > +12 or so - 265 is pretty lenient on x10 :P

And yeah you bloody yanks pushing up prices haha

They are 18x10 +14 with 4 inch lips

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
