Mate, you werent wrong about the GTR. She looks fantastic. Thats a fair bit of rubber to be lighting up half way down a track[:u]
I reckon you should also post a few pics of that daily driver you bought around. That was also a top looking little car. Youre a lucky bloke to have so many nice toys. Im lucky to still have a wife[(#)]

Nice car Darren. Not what I would have picked for an engine (too old for all this modern stuff) but it looks sensational in white and the wheels really set it off. Keep up the pictures as you progress. I'm sure it will generate plenty of interest.

Cheer's mate What plates did you have? I really loved my GTR, Had lots of cars but she really was something else! Have to buy a good example though or it will be the worst experience you'll have. To many cheap n nasty ones out there.  quote:

Never yet managed to own the GTR though, had some plates on hold and everything. Somehow it turned into a XR6T ute (GTRs not ideal for towing). [:p]
Look forward to more pics of the Corty.

There's lots of thrashed and badly modded ones out there alright. I drove a 500hp (modded) aussie one in the mid nineties and loved every minute of it. Plates I had were just "GTR.32Z". Very sweet daily driver you have there, how much work to get it looking like that?

It looks like your on the right track, the slots in the floor are in the right place, although you will need to run them further up the diff hump, basically to the original cardboard firwall line[;^)] This will allow the rear end to go nice and low[:p] You also need to make sure you can achieve antisquat geometry with the bars, that will dictate your floor box mounting heights Without antisquat, you might as well just add tramp bars
