Law of Murphy at Play for This Daily Driver BNR32

[Oakville]

Looks good my man! Im very jealous!

I just spent all day taking off the "right hand vehicle" badge off my car, washing it, and changing the shift + e-brake boot. I'll post up about that a little later. It was a lot more involved than I thought.

As for future mods, I have a ARC intake box that needs to be installed, and a top secret rear diffuser from C-unit's group buy that will be installed sometime next year. For next spring/summer I'm looking at:

- HSD coilovers
- Touge Factory Edition Enkei NT03 (basically NT03s in black) or bronze lmgt4s
- Nardi Deep Corn steering wheel with NRG quick release kit
- Fujimura CF front lip
- Strengthened timing belt, idler, tensioner
- Some form of upgraded brakes

I think that's all I can afford next year, and that might even be pushing it. Money permitting I also want:

- Cusco sway bars
- Bee-R side skirts
- Bride Stradia Sport driver and passenger seats
- Metal intercooler piping

Of course there's a lot more I want, but realistically that's what I'm going to aim for in the next while.

I have days like that too. Going back and fourth for something that should of been done in an hour lol.

Good to know you enjoy the car and handles well! Try get some videos now

Next on mods list?

ahhh Beautiful! I knew it would pop right out at you. How do you like the handling in the snow/slush? I really wanna try but Im scared of the EFING salt!

At first it was pretty scary with the Advan Neovas that came on the car. I got winter wheels last night which was a story in itself.

I booked an appointment with Tires23 to get steelies and Michelin X-ice 2s fitted onto the car. They had to test fit the steelies first and found out they didn't clear the brakes. So I had to go down the street to Japanese Direct to see if they had any oem gtr wheels. I went back and fourth between the two places transporting wheels to test fit them, and I finally ended up getting oem gts-t wheels. I got there at 10:30 am; I didn't leave until 4 pm lol.

The car drives great now, I'm way more confident behind the wheel. The car is Krown rust-proofed and I wash the car every 3 days or so, so hopefully that'll reduce the risk of corrosion.

looks clean and proper bud! Im gonna look into that company TWM.. i've been searching for a new shift knob for a hwile.lol

I actually bought a Lathe Werks knob because they offered way more finishes and options. TWM was the other company I was looking at, and originally I really wanted to give them my business since I wanted to buy from a Canadian company, but they didn't have the finish I wanted. They still have a great product though and their height adjustable threading system is pretty sweet.

Very nice man! I may be up that way this spring! If so, I'll bring my cammy and take some snaps for ya!

That would be awesome! Hopefully by that time I'll have coils on, and maybe have my rear diffuser installed.

WOOHOO took her out for the first time today. Took it real easy though because I still had the summer slicks on.

Changed the shift knob, and now the shifting position sits a little higher and the boot doesn't meet the bottom of the knob. Not too big of a deal, but I'll fix the shift gaiter when it gets warmer. (If anyone is interested in a similar shift knob, TWM performance, which is a company out of Quebec makes height adjustable weighted shift knobs.)

Drove out to CT to get rubber mats and new windshield wipers. I kid you not, I spent 45 minutes deciding on wipers hahah. I bought the Reflex originally and when I tried to fit it to the car, I discovered that the wiper arm was too wide. Ended up exchanging them with Rain-X wipers and they fit perfectly.

Annnnnd I took a couple of winter shots (just for you bellis_GTR lol) damn near froze my ninnies off. I think they turned out pretty good considering it was a shitty camera and I used the editing tools from Photobucket.

Sweet ride,just love the color.Im trying to convince a photgrapher friend of mine to take some pro pics, you should do the same
Like someone said "drive like you stole it" its garanteed fun.

[bellis_GTR]

I haven't tried it out yet, I'm out of province until Monday so I'll have to wait til then. It's also going to be the first time I'll be able to drive the car since my dad picked it up from the dealership for me. It'll be legen....wait for it...DARY!

I'll try to get one of my photographically inclined friends to do a small winter shoot, but I'll post up some of my own pictures just because you asked haha.

Haha I bet you are very anxious to finally drive her. Been forever since you bought it. For some reason Skylines look really nice in the winter. All white every where makes a Black or Blue ( my car ) stand out a lot. I wish we had some mountains around here to get a nice scenery shot!

Can't wait to see your pictures! Hope you enjoy your first ride!

[Snake556]

Very nice, man! Super clean car! I'm sure you'll love it!

[louis110]

Nice! I havent seen one of those before. Have you tried it out yet? How do you like it?

Any pictures of your GTR in the snow?

That image has been burnt in my head for years. I hope mine is going to be that kickass-clean someday.

Congrats on the ownership Louis, you got a real OEM gem.

I'm going for the same look with my soon-to-be R33
