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

[BaronOBeefdip]

Yep, the plan is to do some work in Japan, as I mentioned above possibly keeping it there longer than November 2025. Frankly, I'm not dealing with TopRank ever again and, because my car is no longer with them, I could work with BBL/GY directly👍

But alas, I'm not looking at major bodywork just yet.

I've been placing orders with a local main dealer and RHDJ for all the undercarriage bits and Nismo links I have left to get, but mainly it's bushings and ball joints. I'm ordering doubles of everything; one full refresh set for when I get a hold of the car and another set for decades down the line when Nissan probably doesn't exist anymore. After that is a sizable order to TK and then I'll have everything needed.

My logic is that I think soon these parts will just not be gettable anymore and I'm trying to prepare for that, but ordering four, eight, and 16 of things sure isn't fun for the wallet. These parts will all eventually make it on the car; I'm certainly not buying to hoard or scalp/resell at unfair prices like some individuals I have choice words for.
