Awww man it look so good!!

I hear you re engine. I was looking at something pretty special but after chatting and looking at prices I'm thinking it's going to be a hot 2.8-2.9 with triples now.

still can't get over how clean it is.

what brand flares are they?

I got the flares, grill and rear spoiler through OTOMOTO

[Adzmax]

Cool, how did you find the stuff?

[uras1]

also keen to know what the quality is like

The fibreglass stuff is pretty good but not perfect and will need a little bit of work to get just right. There overall finish is good with minor waves that can be easily fixed but there are small gaps in between the flare and panel in places, these would be 3mm or so and there is one spot that is a 4mm gap so this will need building the edge of the flare out a bit to sit closer to the panel or maybe remove some material from the flare where it's touching to bring it closer if possible.

They also definitely need rubber inbetween the flare and the panel to help hide any small gaps and to stop the flare rubbing the paintwork even though I don't think the genuine GTR's did.

was only thinking about you and your car yesterday, must of new something was up haha. more pics?

[Adzmax]

Any pics of the jig you've got there?

just love this thread. Looks better than when it left the factory

It seems to be solid under there other than a bit of rust in the rear arches, there's also some rust in the front passenger corner of the bonnet but the rest of the bonnet seems good, the bootlid will also need some rust repairs done under where the stainless trim goes. Around the windows seems to be extremely solid with just some pitting around the drivers side lower front in a couple of spots but no holes.

Adz, the jig is rather dodge but works . It picks up the front crossmember bolts and rear cradle bolts and tilts slightly to throw the weight over the base loop. The main problem with it is A. I made it out of galv pipe that isn't really strong enough (it was free) and B. It needs more support at the rear of the car because I can lift the front of the car up with one hand which isn't ideal.

I love how much access it gives you to underneath!!
