Your build threads always tend to be immense.

Pretty much forgotten all about this car as a project. Theres been a few personal things that have distracted me from showing any interest in the car.

Having decided im too old for going the bodykit route and opting for an oem look bodywise, i began looking for genuine oem optional sideskirts and rear bumper spats. I searched high and low and any sets i managed to find required winning the euro millions to purchase. So gave up on the search until last week where i got the finger out again. Unfortunately i couldnt locate any genuine items i could afford but did locate a guy reproducing frp versions from original mouldings. He happens to be based in Russia, where he tells me they are quite the fans of jdm cars. I ordered them from him and including delivery works out extremely cheap and i expect to recieve in 3 weeks or so as he manufactures to order.

Heres how they look on other cars, they are very subtle but since my car has a front lip fitted it will level the car out on the exterior . I cant stand cars with front lips hugging the ground then the arse and sides are up in the air.





This is how i want the rear of the car looking with rear spats, boot spoiler and roof spoiler



I also need to buy a new set of wheels as i currently have only 4 wheels between this and the drift car :-( so when the jr's are on the r34 the drift cars on stands and vice versa

i havent decided on whether or not to buy another set of the same wheels, a different style altogether for the r34 or a drop down from 18s to 17s as seen in the middle pic above. 17s will allow me to go a lil lower.

After searching high and low for oem skirts and rear bumper spats since buying ther car and having no luck, i managed to find a guy who who make me replicas using plastified epoxy and structural fibreglass. So this morning 3 weks after ordering the box arrived from russia. im over the moon with the finish,strength,quality and fit of these and far exceeded my expectations. It will be late janurary or early feb before they are painted and fitted as i want to get some spoilers and possibly r34 gtr side skirt diffusers to give it a more aggressive lower stance.

i jus sat them against the car to check fit and ive noticed changes i wanna make to wheel choice or ride height its just not sitting the way id like it too . Chances are ill have to change wheels as the offsets and widths wont allow me to go lower..

heres a view pics and opinions are always welcomed and appreciated

That is shit cool, man

Looks savage!! I'd personally go 17's on the wheels but thats just me, I think 18's always look a bit too big. Either way its going in the right direction!

I've had some 17s on it there for a few days and they look a Lil small. They were only 8j and 9j so maybe something wider will look better

Tom has 17x9 works on his r33 and it looks well. hes in members cars i think

Ye I may go r33 gtrs for a while I haven decided yet. The missus has gotten me a roof spoiler as part of my Xmas gifts so once that arrives it will be going to get bits painted and fitted
