got it cheap cos it was dirty and small hole, will do for passenger.

got my detailer friends to clean it up for me. god it needed it.
not properly dried yet so haven't refitted.

driving round with no passenger seat is weird. my mate sat in the backseat in extra legroom limo mode and loved it :P

ok, spend a frustrating arvo putting in the drivers seat.

so for a start took out the old GTS seat and the major obvious difference is the shear weight difference.

the old seat weight compared to the new CF backed bride.

(yes its just a rep)

now, this might have been obvious to most, but i never realized and never thought of it, but the rails which fit these do not slide forward and back.
and i cannot see any simple way of attaching stock rails?
im assuming i can buy sliding rails to suit brides yes?

anywhoo

happy that i can adjust the pitch of the seat and it now sits well, heaps more headroom, not hard to get cumfy

Another un-thought of side affect, the seatbelt is tucked right down there... can you get extensions??

also f**k this bolt.... not easy getting a bolt in somewhere its totally shielded from

anyway, its in and im happy. its snug but comfortable and looks a little better than a gtst seat :P

I'm sceptical the bolt from the gym was the correct pitch. I suppose you got it in there, but that's dodgy as considering even if it is the correct pitch, it certainly isn't rated the same.

But looking at the shonkyness of those rails it probably wouldn't bother you ;)

Its most definitely not the propper bolt but did fit fine fir now, it will be changed shortly to follow all others to shiney high tensile gear, and i will be grabbing a sliding bride rail soon enough too. I dont often f**k about with safety.

While its off, where do i buy a good seat belt extension. Not the double up buckle type but a propper flexible mounted stalk kind?

Grab some Torx (pin in centre) headed bolts for the new ones; makes life a bit harder for the scummy little toerags.

ok, i love light and i hate stock skyline lights, their just shit.

i did replace the old bulbs with the brightest i could get which were the phillips 4000k halogens. their still shit, slightly less yellow but the light is atrocious.

i don't have the projectors as i have N1 lights which are rear reflector so i wasn't a fan of xennons,

Xennons have a bad habit of throwing light poorly in reflectors as the light source is coming from a few mm or cm further away due to the longer light tube.

however i found a new type of LED H4 bulbs which i purchased.

20150925_123439_zpsxqzvch15.jpg20150925_190945_zpsvbe0rntw.jpg

these actually center the low beam the same as stock lights and the high beam properly for a longer throw of light. also yes they do high and low beam in one unit.

as you can see, properly placed light source in comparison to the stock bulb.

low beam closer to the base and highbeam further away.

20150925_192151_zpsfi6citk4.jpg


and their bright. slightly brighter or very similar to a good 6000k Xennon but no warm up, no heat and flicking high /low is instant.

this is the comparison as best as my phone could capture, it is adjusting slightly more for the brighter white but you can see in the 3rd shot which has both beams on, it drowns it out. remember this is the best philips white bulb i could get.

so tires are slowly wearing down, i dont really wanna run 17s anymore so picked up a set of XXr 527 in chromium black,
18X9.75+20.

what tire size to run im not sure yet. 265 could fit but not sure if i wanna run that on the front and i wanna keep it square.
what would a "decent" tire size be do you recon?

also, anyone interested in the enkies? 17X9+22 :)

      Don't leave a wrapped skyline out in the sun

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I could show you guys photos of wrap having been removed properly, and where the wrap was removed, paint underneath is perfect. Sections of the vehicle didn't have wrap on it, and in those areas, the paint work is destroyed because of how long it had been sitting in the hot QLD sun for many many many years. Wrap even still looked decent. Good quality wrap, and removing it properly shouldn't rip off the paint work, unless the paintwork was already shot to pieces before hand.

      R33 Window motor replacement (not switch or amp)

      By jacobzking · Posted

      Any write ups on replacing the window motor?  I've never messed with them (or window regulators) before.   Ever since I've had the car, the driver window would roll down just fine, but most often I'd have the try a few times to get it to go up.  As soon as it started to go up, it always goes up smoothly and quietly.  Seemed like a bad switch.  But now, its stuck in the fully down position and won't come back up.  I get =12/-12V coming out of the relay/amp when pressing the switch up/down.  So the switch and amp are working.  Just a bad motor.  I've also applied 12V directly to the motor and nada.   Any help on replacing the motor?  Can the glass and regulator stay in, and only replace the motor?  Or not possible?  Thanks!!!

      You are wrong. That's just Whiteline going along with the incorrect slanguage of the sheeple userbase. They are only correctly known as anti-roll bars. They are only incorrectly known as swaybars. They do do anything to prevent "sway". The swaybars that are fitted to trailler hitches do prevent sway. In the trailer. And they do not look like anti-roll bars. So, take your incorrect infopinion away.
