^^^ I've got a set of these for the 180 in 18'' ( Ultra Lite). They look hot and I think would look sweet on a skyline. :)
Lol, I also have a set of 32 gtr rims, some standard 5 spoke 32 rims, a set of ford territory rims and the standard type x 180 wheels.
Why do people only have one set of wheels? I love being able to change mine whenever I get bored with the look of the car.

not bad, but i still prefer the drift teks, the 5 spoke style IMO suits 34's to a 'T'

yes, I do like the drift teks, but I just can't seem to stop thinking that 5 spoke rims belong on commodores.
I don't use my 32 wheels very often.

Also seeing as I am a girl, and not a very strong one... the fact that I can pick up my ultra lites with my little finger, makes me love them more :)

Why thank you sir,

1/ 1220mm wide, there are a few manufacturers that sell 1500mm wide, but i went with the avery 900 series vinyl as it is tried and tested with a few big places (exotic kustoms in melb use it)

2/ Vinyl costs will set you back between $700 - $900 depending on the size of the car, labour is where you empty your pockets

3/ Joins are quite good, not very noticeable unless you know where to look or go looking for them.

Already on there Andrew, take a look at the more recent photos, got some Nismo smoked fronts and sides.

Just a teaser,
The interior is getting a little attention too.

Also for those interested, the boot has been patched up and if it doesnt go and crack again, itll be getting painted hopefully this week and maybe wrapped on the weekend.

The man, Chris Rogers, of Audio Express, has outfitted me with a high mount stop light, perfect fit, looks Mint, and as far as im aware the only R34 with a high mount stop light in the rear window.

Also, going to pick up the remaining vinyl to complete the bootlid tonight, so hopefully will be complete bar and minor edges and door jambs etc before the week is out! piccys to come!

So been doing a little design work, and have this to show.


This is what the car should look like (top is current, except the bootlid is also done obviously, and the bottom pics is the after), once i make a few more purchases, checking out a set of rims this saturday, weather permitting... updates to come.

so the list consists of

z-tune style side skirts
z-tune style rear pods
gtr vspec 2 style front lip (2 lips)
18" powder coated matte black rims (style to be decided as yet)
