really like those interior carbon bits

 

Cheers guys for the replies, glad you like it
Allways amazed by the number of folk that like the color, i always thought it was a bit of an aquired taste!

BTW I love the job done with the cluster and carbon bits in the interior.

Ta guys!, they were a pain to get made right, especially the little arrows for the indicators that i spend ages cutting out by hand!

Definately think they were worth doing in the end, and its weird when i look at old pics of my interior now.

what is the thing in your tail pipe?? Is this a silencer???

Yup, that's an apex'i ATS, my car is on the border of obscenly loud,
and after i lost the original Kakimoto baffle on a spirit run in the country (probably ended up embedded in a sheep lol), i thought i'd get something that'd keep the car quiet enough for town driving... but still open up and be loud enough when i'm having some fun

still... there's a couple of people that think i'm a pussy, and should embrace the raw RB sound 24/7

And what's that Apexi unit behind the steering wheel???

that's a Multichecker thing, i stuck that in the car originally so i had a digital rev counter / rev alarm.... it's in the glove box now since i don't use it anymore, now that the LCD Consult display has rev warnings

also learned never to believe the "power figures" it gave ;0

Not a bad top speed for a '91

Prefer the wheels in the earlier photos.

Those Advan RS's are a bit marmite for me, some days i think they look ace, and others i feel they look to modern for the car.

The shape of them is really nice though...

How they look on the street, i feel they get a bit lost in in the dark color of the bodywork.. but i'd definately pull them out the garage and put them to use if i had a white car... or a white RX-7

Like the Engine bling :smokin:

The bling had to be done, it adds at least 300 internet HP

LOL

pics of the car in the snow are well cool

so was the trip to the carpark where i took them......



the settled snow wasnt so pristine when i left

 

sweet looking car,nice pics

 

Love the colour of this car some great pictures and like your choice of steering wheel.

 

Nice ride :thumbsup:

Stunning colour, and awesome pics:bowdown1:

 

cracking car, love the arm rest install.

 

Nice pics ^^

I think the design of te37 was thought for a r32, definitely the best looking rims for that skyline. Beautiful colour tho´.

BTW I love the job done with the cluster and carbon bits in the interior.

Cheers.

 

Lovely looking GTR32 - the colour I wanted.

Prefer the wheels in the earlier photos.

Cheers,

 

Nice complete car :bowdown1: Brilliant Pics :thumbsup: Like the Engine bling :smokin:

Really like this car. well done. Stupid question is that a standard colour? never seen it before

Yup its a standard color, I think it was only offered for the first few years of the R32 GT-R. I did read somewhere it was special order though (dunno how much truth is in that though...)

Hi Endo :wavey:

Long time no see.

Looks like you've been busy recently, looking very nice indeed :thumbsup:

Hey Ian,
how goes it?

Did you sneak out with the beast to the car park, at least one day during the snow?

for some reason, i got "lost" one day on the way into work and somehow ended up in the car park near yours...., spinning round and round in circles until i worked out how to get out....

much to the amusement of some of the guys at the truck stop.

yeah i've been busy, i'ts getting there though, slowly.
Hopefully you'll be able to check it out for yourself sometime soon

 

A very nice car, and a lovely colour. You don't see many blue examples.

 

very, very, very nice.

fantastic looking car, absolutely awesome!

And damn do i want your dash/interior setup in mine haha.

 

nice car :chuckle:

 

Your car looks fantastic Endo...really nice to see what TH1 looks like when its in good condition ! :thumbsup:

I have a TH1 R32 too but it desperately needs a re-paint as its been very neglected by its previous owners unfortunately. Have thought about painting it in another colour but the blue pearl seems to be a pretty rare colour so if I do get around to re-painting it it'll stay the same colour. They used TH1 on a few very early '89 to '91 RS13 200SX's too but very rare to see one.

 

Cheers mate!
Well "good condition" is debateable lol.
there's a few bodywork niggles, mainly battle scars from living in the centre of Edinburgh and my neighbours using "that crappy 20 y/o nissan" as a bumpstop for their SUVs.. and the thoughtful white van owner that put a dent on the rear arch swage line while in tescos :'(

Really want to get it in the bodyshop so it looks pristine again


Definately i'd go for the TH1 re-paint, (that is if you like the color) its definately a really nice color when the sun is out And there's allways the option of wrapping it if you change your mind lol

There's two shades of TH1 as i found out when i took the grill i bought from Newera to be sprayed.
The darker one seems to be an exact match for the stock paint (see pic)

 

very nice personally like the wheels in the first pics what are they also what size ?

wardy

 

pics what are they also what size ?

Their Volk Racing TE37 17x9+15 (Bronze)

The Gunmetal wheels are Advan Racing RS (GT-R Face) 17x9+22

oh its so nice with my old te37´s!
=)
If you still have them, I would put them on if i were you:chuckle:

got centre caps for them now too
But yup, I definately do still have them, and their still on the car, just with winter tyres on them lol.

great pics mate

 

What a stunning car.
Love the blue, love the wheels (both sets), love the center grill with the Hakosuka badge, it all works so well together.
I've been looking at wheels for my car, and I've considered 18's, but the 17's on your car fit so well that I think I'll go 17" instead.
Can't wait to see more of this car.

Justin

 

If you're buying new wheels I would go with 17s, I had planned to but then the right set of 18s appeared at the right price...

Can't say I regret it though. 18s tend to have more aggressive dishes if that's your thing. As you're US based I'd have a look at the Enkei RPF1s. Very light and can be had in the right sizes/offsets very cheaply in the US - I nearly imported a set. Bonus points if you can find the black versions.

Sorry for the thread-jack!

 

Loving this! colour is very very nice and looks real clean!

 

nice pics

 

Like the car! The grill works nicely. Personally the 37s suit the car better, especially given the colours.

I had never considered the dark blue when I was looking but in retrospect I think I probably should have - yours does look good!

Got to agree with you there, I've been back to running the Advans for a couple of weeks while i was waiting for some new tyres, after the post snow potholes ate one of them....

So happy the TE37s are back on today

great pics, you must have been lucky and not got stuck in the snow, I went out and got buried to the axles LOL.

Wasn't to bad, though i was having to avoid driving in the ruts that the other cars had made in the snow... as i was bottoming out and, i could hear the underside scraping along the ice :O, annoyingly it was only near my house since the council wasnt taking the snow plow down all the residential bits.

What is the sticker on the side? (Looks like a US Cops badge)

Lol, it's a Liberty City PD badge (police from GTA4).... (it's a sad work related joke, i had some left over when they handed them out and thought i'd stick them on the car for fun)

Kind of related to my thread....., Lately i've been working on a CG replica of my car, so i can drive it about in for Racer.
It's still a WIP, so it's just a test render,and the model is nowhere near finished since i still got to textures and finishing up all the modelling and detailing.
