  1. blah blah you only have two real modern alternatives: Replace engine with GM LS1/LSX etc. V8 Or... Replace engine with 4-rotor engine or Hartley V12 Everything else is futile.
  2. surely it can't be that hard to replace your spark plugs, oil filer and engine oil?
  3. As long as Enkei and RAYS lives, we'll be fine.
  4. Damn... My only interaction with Neil was my shitbox spraying petrol all over him during an SMSP East track day (I was in front of his Radical during an out lap, with a full tank, petrol was spraying out of the overflow valve). He was super chill about it. But that left a lasting impression on me. Rest in peace mate.
  5. Having done a plug conversion on an Accord Euro (CU2) trying to use as much factory bits as possible, it will depend on your head unit. TBH saving the big headaches of figuring out wiring diagrams and stuff, just run your own wires, bypass all the factory crap. I went to the trouble of getting plugs from aliexpress that'll fit the factory Accord Panasonic unit (it's like a 7ch system). Much easier just to run wires separately.
  6. Hell years dirty 30.
  7. perfect, 235 front, 245 rear wide tyres, roll guards to make them fit. as long as it clears your brakes
  8. Don't put HID or LED bulbs in reflectors, glare and the output isn't good. If you want modern style lighting, no choice but to retrofit (should cost below $1,000 all up if you do it yourself). Series 3 GT-R projector headlights are super expensive. The outer plastic lens must be clear, any hazing/yellowing dramatically reduces output. Alternatively if you're doing country driving, can try a light bar for high beam?
  9. Your location? My advice as an old fart: spend as least amount of money on your car as possible, once you have a large income, then you can spend absurd amounts on your car.
  10. Could only get a 1:03.535 (bronze) for the Road Atlanta Red Bull X2019 one. I suck at that track.
  11. Even the same size tyres but different brand/tread pattern makes a difference.
  12. Gotta resize those pics, 4,000px by 3,000px woo the detail Looking awesome, I wish Infiniti did better and were still around. Remember folks, this is a luxury car so 1,700kg isn't heaps .
  13. Although, if you're in south-western sydney, i highly recommend you stay away from any shop on Hoxton Park Road.
  14. CV's aren't' hard to rebuild, if you don't have the tools then yeah, throw it towards your nearest garage. Any half decent "mechanic" can rebuild a CV, it's quite common to do since there are millions of FWD cars about.
  15. Awesome stuff. I should sell my R32 and get a V37 RedSport haha. Looking forward to this build.
  16. Remember our cars are 30+ years old so expect the rubber bits to leak. I'd go around your engine bay with a can of "start ya bastard" or similar and look for leaks. FYI I got my car 10+ years ago with the standard boost restrictor in place, I removed it when I got it and the car never had any issues since (besices a leaking manifold gasket). tl;dr- Look for leaks before proceeding.
  17. brake clearance depends on spoke design GT-R size I'd go 9.5 +15 or +12, and if you've rolled your guards, 10" +20. People run 10.5 but I reckon that's too wide.
  18. beast mode! 1mil credits for your efforts sir. BTW I still have a G29/290 or whatever the updated version of the wheel is sitting in the corner, too lazy to set it up. BUT, the wheel does give you way more precise control, and after a couple of hours on it, your lap times will drop.
  19. I've always been partial towards the multispoke (10? 11? spokes) white wheels on the Gibson HR31s. I reckon the boxy R31 design and the 17" multispoke (BRAID?) work well... Also influenced by 90's BTCC era big (19") wheels. Also hard to beat TE37 or Enkei RPF01 6 spoke wheels. P.S. I was never a fan of "3-piece" wheels with the bolts, I preferred the monoblock designs... until I got my LMGT1s haha.
  20. Maxspeedingrods, yikes, please be careful and get them removed from your car ASAP.
  21. Replace calipers, or replace wheels. You can try to figure it out, or just upgrade the calipers to slimline ones if you're dead set on relatively weak BNR32 wheel (spec wise, 16x8 ain't that flashy).
  22. Honestly not that great, you have to mod the shit out of them. They (R34 GT-Rs) were good value when they were selling for 45-65k AUD but now there's no point, better off spending half on a modern performance car (which will chop the GT-R in every metric except maybe internet points).
