So I've had my R35 nearly 4 weeks now!

Getting it to this: (so far!)





EDIT: Now looking like this...





Little video from the dyno off my facebook from a couple days ago:
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=1015203514283...


Been a busy boy, I think anyway. Learning about the cars and researching/ buying parts.

I wanted a full service for peace of mind, it wasn't due but a friend owns a garage and I like helping so why not!


My progress thread since taking ownership:


On the way to collect her, picked this up as didn't know what the 300mile return leg would be like


Exciting


Filled up for drive back, looking good, what does everyone complain abaout wink


Straight in for some attention








Miltek unresog y-pipe fitted


rear light kit


After a good clean






Let the modding begin:







vs standard 501 led bulbs in oem rear units


= smile


Crack on with the work another night


spacers fitted on standard springs: (and new rubber fitted!)



Gearbox opening up and piston clips fitted
( GTR/GR6 Valve Body TSB Clips ? Jacks Transmissions LLC)









Injectors:


Pollen filter is fun


Once gtc intakes fitted with injectors and downpipes time for map with ecutek cable


What a pig the downpipes were btw!!







Getting to rear shocks !




All done can now run some more boost :squintdan


Tints done


Alignment




Pulled in to the rolling road day and a friend of mine happened to have Martin down for mapping on some Skylines


Mine on:



Another coat of wax (putting her to work)





Car is only running a base stage 4 map atm, bit smokey, see video here from a couple days ago:
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=1015203514283...

Hopefully that'll decrease when Ben @ GTC has done me a custom map? Its ID's fitted.


Result so far.... biggrin










Waiting for some carbon fibre goodies to arrive atm to smarten up the front end
Going to get some front brake pads too, if anyone can recommend any?



Cheers!

You must be pissing money! Love it. I got a drive in one of these a while back and was left utterly stunned at the breadth of capability. Incredible cars and I'd love to own one. Enjoy it!

Great mod, the lights all lit look amazing as far as I am concerned, especially with the new bright led number plate bulbs
