First off let me say that there is an extensive list of parts that are on order right now to be installed on the car as soon as the car gets back from SEMA.  This GT-R is going to make one awesome transformation.

The build was finished at 11:30 on Friday night to everyone’s relief and is one the smoothest last minute builds that we have done and we are extremely happy with how well the car turned out.  The GT-R was loaded on the transporter on Sunday morning for it’s trip to SEMA in Las Vegas.  The ground was wet but the sky was clear which made for some pretty cool last minute photos.  As you can see the car is almost bottomed out on the Top Secret coil overs to make the wheel and tire combo look right, this took a few innovative solutions to getting it on and off the lifts in the shop.  We adapted and overcame as usual.

On a side note, the red Status seats pictured in the build are not the seats that were supposed to be delivered and installed.  The correct seats are going to be installed once the car gets to Las Vegas.  They are a carbon fiber backed with leather and Alcantara inserts.  I will have pictures of them once they get installed.

We can’t thank everyone enough who had a hand in this project.

The entire rear of the car needed to be disassembled to remove and install the rear coil overs so it was handled with a quickness and we went about our business.  The pictures below are of the stock rear suspension, no suspension, and the rear coil overs on the ground.  The next two pics are of the matte black vinyl that Premier installed.  It looks incredible.  More updates in a few.

The nice gentlemen from Premier Protective Films are here to install the clear coating on all of the carbon parts to protect them.  The tires have also been mounted and are waiting for the coil overs to be finished before the wheels can be installed.  Below is a picture of the coil overs as are they being assembled and they look pretty amazing.  More to come soon.

Just as I finished the last post the UPS truck pulled up with another round of goodies for the GT-R.  Four brand-new Toyo Proxes T1R tires in sizes 285/30/ZR20 and 315/25/ZR20 arrived to compliment the 20″ HRE one-off wheels.  Mounting and balancing is currently underway.  Also in the latest delivery was a set of bright red Status Racing seats and mounting hardware.  The seats are made of a tightly woven material and have large side bolsters with provisions for 6pt. harnesses.  Check out the pictures.

We got back to the shop early this morning and are jumping right back into it.  No rain will hold us down!!  The rear LED side markers and front clear corners are in, the rear bumper has been re-installed with the new carbon lower, the exhaust is fully on the car with only the final tip fitment to be determined, and the front struts are out and being prepped for the coil over kit.  It’s gonna be an awesome day.  Check back soon.
