The biggest part of the job is taping off the grill portion from the surround portion and getting a definitive line between the two. I have already ordered the Nordring carbon fiber front grill overlay so that we maintain the red surround AND cover the OE front grill.

I just can't stand it as stock...expect the Nordring piece later in February from Japan...

This has gotta be the most stunning 35 GTR out there.

Love the attention to detail and the diligence in the manner it's been transformed. A very selective and well blended choice of parts and upholstery.

Like the fact that it looks very individual, also the improvisation gone into it in certain areas, like the colour-coded grille surround.

Gorgeous indeed !

Some interior detail shots I took yesterday...

PASSENGER DOOR...Gloss black trim, Porsche leather, and suede bottoms...

PASSENGER SIDE VIEW...
- Passenger seat bottom is matched to the other side...in OE form...the "cod piece" is only on driver's side...
- THE seat belt locking piece is covered with leather booty
- The Ipad mount (from RAM mounts)...the stalk is attached to seat rail
- The CUSTOM handbrake is still pending (SINCE July 2011 mind you)...it is supposed to be finished in carbon, leather, and matching red stitching...we couldn't wait for it so we are still using the OE handbrake...it will be a biatch to put it in since you have to take the whole center portion of the car out...

HEADLINER...
- contains carbon fiber map light assembly WITH accessory buttons
- ACCESSORY BUTTONS: #1 License Plate / #2 Exterior Lighted "R's" / #3 Agency Power Exhaust "Quiet/Loud" option / #4 Front Camera ON

AMGfan · 26th January 2012, 03:42 PM

CENTER CONSOLE area...

- It's annoying me that the gear shifter carbon is NOT matching in weave...so while it is at Switzer we are going to try and convert it to the correct weave so EVERYTHING can be as consistent as possible...
- CD area houses the JBL MS-8...I wanted to keep the stock head unit and associated electronics while still using aftermarket amplifiers and speakers AND adding the Ipad. The equalization on this units is pretty nifty too...
- Upgraded carbon rear view mirror is nice touch

STEERING WHEEL view....
- I love this steering wheel (THANK YOU Adrey@Specialized-Performance.com - great customer service)...
- the new carbon paddles are such an upgrade on the "dirty" look of the OE paddles...I don't know who @ Nissan thought that was a good look...

REAR SEATING...

FLOOR VIEWS...
- Custom C2Design floor mats (THEY are the shop I exclusively use for all my rides...this is the 4th build with them...2004 E55, 2006 SL65, 2011 Suburban...)
- Tommy K illuminated door sills...I like the look but I think it could look better...like I said before we are painting the base gloss black, the silver strip satin black, then covering it with a transparent protective film, then re-attaching the illuminated GT-R logo...this will happen while @ Switzer...
- C2Design modifed the side seat controllers for the driver's and passenger's seats...the OTHER switches (the up and down and ventilated seat) are on order (THANKS Eric @ NIssanBoulder) and will have matching gloss black look.

HARNESS BAR sweetness from ACG...
- In house and is getting leather (w/matching stitching) sleeves while @ Switzer...
- I've added stock photos of what a finished one looks like and how it will sit in a GT-R...
- Once it is in we are added a Go-Pro Hero 2 setup on the harness bar

Attention to detail is staggering - well done!

Only thing I don't like are the piano black parts, as those are such horror to keep clean (and dust-free).

Thing I noticed - why not get carbon overlays for door window knob part - I have RSW Carbon Window Switch Panels for GT-R and they look awesome - RSW | Carbon Panels Collection for GT-R .

Ozren...thanks for the website. I will do just that...piano black is high maintenance BUT that does give me a reason to sit in the car...

. ON a serious note, we went piano black just to not have everything carbon fiber. I personally like the contrast and different textures in the car.

I'll be clicking some boxes on RSW's site...

I was going to say exactly the same thing

ozren · 27th January 2012, 06:28 AM

Hi

Im not saying piano black looks bad, not at all - however I had it in one of my previous cars and regretted it - in the end I wrapped those parts because I could not stand them anymore! I have a black car and in comparison to piano black interior its ultra-low maintenance! And I'd say there are better reasons to be in the car than polishing!

Btw. glad to have been of help in regards to carbon RSW parts

Truly amazing car!!!!

Ozren...didn't get any negativity in your post at all...no worries. Plus...this is the internet...even if it there was a negative connotation it wouldn't be unexpected. Not everyone has the same taste and everyone has the right to their own opinion.

Back to point...I've had piano black on actually my E55 and my Suburban...both had custom interiors and so I was used to the upkeep. The SL65 was all carbon so I felt like trying a combination of all of the above...piano black, carbon, leather, and alcantara...trying to get a bespoke feeling out of the Altima interior we were given.

That maybe being harsh and a bit of a Jeremy Clarkson hyperbole...but at the very least I wanted to accomplish a bespoke feel when I got in the car without feeling like I just got in a Fast and Furious sequel. It is a fine line...

I emailed my tuner shop this afternoon and we are actually going to send out those particular pieces to MACarbon for conversion to CF...and a couple of other tiny bits we wanted to do...and other carbon pieces I wanted redone in correct weave for consistency sake.

The GTR will actually be transported for engine, transmission, fuel system, and rear end buildup next week so the down time will allow those pieces to be sent away and be converted...it actually kind of works out. I will miss driving Gojira though...

Anyway...I still have my Hyundia Accent to putz around in...

Beirute-GTR · 27th January 2012, 10:34 AM

wow this is very tastefully done

ozren · 27th January 2012, 12:14 PM

Just keep posting pics so we can track the development - I always enjoy to eye tastefully done cars!

And don't be shy to use it - that's the reason for its existance

Russ83 · 28th January 2012, 10:47 AM

Superb looking car! Well done!
