Love those wheels!

Thanks, Ryan! With this new Mazda it's going to be tough paying for Skyline parts now lol. What does 732 mean?

[Oakville]

Very nice Ron, as always your choice of colour and parts means this car is my inspiration. 732 732 732 732 732.

Sick!

Thanks!

I guess it's time for a little update. I was away for work, so I stored my car in August. Before I stored it, I lowered it 10mm more on all sides. I took my car to a local Ford dealership to get an alignment, and that was a huge mistake. Their resident JDM "expert" put in the alignment specs for a GTS-T instead of a GTR, my steering wheel was 15 degrees off center, my Nismo floor mats were covered in mud, and my shifter frame was popped out. When I made him do it again he threw a hissy fit because he didn't work overtime. Loser. Anyway my suspension is maxed out so I couldn't dial the camber back in. Looking at a Driftworks suspension arm set for next year.




I got back in the middle of Autumn and the weather was still good so I pulled the car out. Leaky injector #2 and a pooched alternator. The voltage kept bouncing, lights would pulsate, and the volts would randomly spike up to 18V, causing the headlights and stereo to shut off while I'd be driving. I also ran over a dead coyote one night on the way back from Edmonton. It ripped off my entire rear diffuser, and I didn't even know until I stopped at a gas station.






I also traded in my beater POS red Pontiac Vibe for a 2014 Mazda 3 Sport GS to take over winter duty/long distance driving. Love this car. Handles superbly for an econocar, great styling, and a very high quality interior. I wasn't planning on modding this...but you know how that usually works out lol. Already ordered HIDs, swapping out all the interior lights/license plate lights for LEDs, Nokya hyper yellow DRL bulbs. Red leather interior and clear bra being installed over the holidays. Also want to get some mesh rims, lip kit, and maybe lowering springs.

Mercy thats pretty, wheels fit so nicely.

Very happy with how the wheels look on the car. Definitely a whole new personality with the GTR. I'm thinking about lowering the car another 10-15mm to close up that wheel gap.

Teaser shots. Work Meister S1R, 18x10+25. Thank you Vlad for sourcing out these wheels and providing me the best sizing. They didn't end up coming with the anodized barrels like I wanted, but these wheels are still hot.

The car looks amazing!

I can't believe how clean it is - inside and out.

What are you plans for the original seats? I need a driver's one really badly.....

Thanks! My intent for the car was to keep it clean but with road presence, and reliable.

I'm going to sell the OEM seats. I've already had a lot of interest in the seats. My buddy called dibs a year ago so I'll see if he still wants them. If not, you'll be next in line (being relatively local and all).

Seats look great!

Thanks!

that looks freaking awesome !!!

i love the combo of the nardi wheel and bride seats, so clean

and if you think the bride seats look like the GTR seats, you should see the R34 seat, exactly the same shape (shoulder and harness holes and everything) but the brides are alot lower

Thanks Franc! I agree, the steering wheel and the seats compliment each other very well. Both timeless designs. The R34 seats are awesome too. I think the R34 seats also provide more hip hugging than the Euros based on my experience with the stock R32 seats.

This seats looks AMAZING!!!)))) GOOD find dude!
If you don't mind me asking how much did they run you with brackets and with shipping to Alberta??
WOW, they look great, I keep going up the posts and stearing at them, my dr seat is not worn through but you can see some minor wear in that common spot, if i ever upgrade it would be either this or Bride Low Max (actually not as cool looking as yours)

RHD Japan sells a combo package (2 seats + 2 rails) for $1817. Shipping and duty together was about $500. I was actually considering the Stradia Sports initially, but I loved the R32 seats (just not the colour) and the Euros were perfect because they were very similar, and half the cost of Stradias.
