Finally got my dream car :)

Love an R34 GTR, a nice bone stock Bayside Blue and leave it alone.

Lovely car and lovely garage! Well done.

Since you have gas struts for the bonnet fitted, why not get rid of that damn ugly bar?

yes yes im getting to that , my priorities were cleaning it, checking oil, water, getting underneath it and re-doing some bits of underseal, etc. On the plus side under the spare wheel I found £7.25 in change!

A free Gallon of fuel (well almost at the cost of the High octane stuff you'd use in this I expect?

A free litre of fuel (well almost at the cost of the High octane stuff you'd use in this I expect?

£7.25?! for a litre?! bloomin' heck!! what octane rating is that xD

 

[tcfreer]

urm good point - should have said Gallon

Though a quick google would show the cost of 120 ron blue race fuel is eye wateringly high

DOIN IT RITE.

Epic garage conversion as well. Very nicely done!

 

[Fr0dders]

Not a bad idea that, hadnt occured to me, I took lots of photos as I went. I'll do a write up tonight or tomorrow and post all the pics.

Look forward to it

Nice. I remember seeing an R34 in a really deep aubergine purple and it looked immense.

Midnight Purple I/II

Bayside Blue is such a lovely colour.

Yup a lot are rotten as a pear, reason being the 80 UK cars sat in a field waiting for SVA approval for months, mine was one of the first out. The underneath was undersealed quite early and it all looks pretty good, infact there isnt any rust to speak off, just a little surface rust underneath that I have now wirebrushed off and undesealed.

better have another picture!

Just epic always thought they could do with sitting about 30mm lower though

 

[The Running Man]

Are the uk cars more insurance friendly?

I tend to agree with that I must admit, a 30mm drop and this would be utter perfection

Not much in it really, probably get it a bit cheaper because its not an import.

I agree, however I went out in one that was on coilovers and the ride was so hard, it was aweful! So I dont want to ruin it as it rides so well at the moment, plus the rear carbon diffuser sits very low at the back and i'd have to be quite wary of speed bumps and catching it on stuff. I might look into it in the future.

 

[SoundsGood]

Looks fast standing still

Nice car, totally jealous

Fully understandable mate, no point in ruining a perfectly good and comfortable car for the sake of making it look a little bit better
