Hey all, I've had my GTR a little over a year now, and have spent most of that time revivng her from previous owners goofy mods, and getting the original fading paint re-done.
Car was/is in excellent shape mechanically, having just undergone an engine rebuild pretty much to OEM specs.
She had some goofy, not-well-done mods from the previous owner who lucky for me didn't have it very long due to insurance issues. (go figure)
I found it to be a great base to start with so I scooped it up. For a great price too.
Shortly after, I sold my GTST to a great new owner. Things worked out great for both of us!!
Figure it's time to post up the product, with some pics.
It is in no way as thorough as, lets say, caliber676's body work.....but hey it's a driver.
Car has the following now, some things have changed over the year but this is how she ended up as of now:
(still need bigger injectors and a tune to get to my 500 crank, (425 wheel hp) goal.
Engine and drivetrain:
RB26 rebuilt to OEM R33 specs (no more crank/oilpump issue) with the exception of a metal headgasket/ARP studs.
Steel-wheeled rebuilt OEM twins, running .9-1 bar without resitrictor (no boost controller)
Full exhaust (unknown brand but sounds great) from turbo's back including decat.
Tomei fuel pump, new OEM FPR.
Timing kit with Nismo belt.
HKS intakes
Almost all sensors replaced for maintenance sake.
Cleaned and balanced OEM injectors.
Running chipped ECU from Japan, leaving until my new injectors/tune time.
F1 Racing 6-puck clutch. (suprisingly good for the price)
All Royal purple fluids.
Brakes/Suspension, etc.
Hawk Ceramic Pads
DBA/EBC slotted rotors.
Fresh brake fluid - Motul something don't remember the number
Eibach springs over Bilstien dampers
Nismo FUCA's
F & R unknown brand tower bars
Various new bushings as needed
17x10 +20 Varrstoen rollers with 255/40 Yokohama rubber.
Body:
Fresh paint in OEM KH2 color
Clear sidemarkers (still undecided if I ike the look)
Nismo style hood lip
Nismo style rear lip spoiler
Nismo style side skirt extensions
Nismo decal kit (subtle....no worries..)
Trust Gracer rear bumper spats
Here's a few pics. Spent some coin on this car in the past year, and I think it turned out great.
Pics beside my old GTST....new owner loves it and taking great care of her!!
Pics at various angles...
With my dad's shark, and uncles 73 Benz at the Sarnia Street Machines car show:
Was gonna do this R35 color when I repainted, but glad I didn't. Too light.
Also, even though the R35 is a monster, I still like the R32 much better!!!....
My near-future mods include:
External oil cooler/relocation kit
555cc or maybe 650cc injectors (modest 425-430whp goal)
Tune

Opinions/comments/constructive criticism welcome!!
