Hey all,
I've come close, but haven't been able to see the suspension of the '08 GTR. I've seen the brakes with the wheels on, but not sans. If anyone can point me in that direction, I'd appreciate it! If the shocks/springs are visible, I'm going to do either scratch-built or turned aluminum stuff. We shall see.
The other thing that I can't quite see is the roof. I know the very top is chromed, but what about what used to be the back window? Is it chromed as well? In some videos I've watched, it looks more like a light grey. Just curious...
BTW, I'm going to do the "Full Monte" CF test mule from '08. I saw some pics of it that were, well, just bada$$...here you go...:grinyes:

Found a good set of pics of the car. No suspension though.

Thanks for the link! I had already seen this one, but I appreciate the help.
On the road car, it seemed that the shock and spring went through the wall into the engine bay. It was rather strange looking...

There are superb references of undercover detail on the book "GT-R is back, super GT 2008/2009" edited by Auto Sport: full push rod sunspension, engine, brakes details. I bought trough HLJ for just 1400+- yen.
It's one of my next projects boosted by the Infini V8 derived from a former group C Nissan engine.
From all the refs I got back window has chromed plate.
