Mate, you think that's bad. I drained the oil from my cousin's daily (she needs it to get to work, a nurse). Only after dumping the oil did I realise that the sump plug was stripped and would not get out of the pan. Thankfully Accord group Syd on Facebook had a guy nearbuy with a K-whatever sump on hand, super duper lucky. Swapped the pan and had her car going within 24hr. bloody hell, learnt my lesson. Always check all fasteners before starting a job.

Nissan can get back in, they already spent money developing the Altima, so the 400Z should be a breeze

Congrats on the new garage! Do you have a hoist by any chance? And fancy me parking my R32 for a day to chase some electrical gremlins? (I'm kidding I wouldn't be bothered to do that to anyone)

Welcome! Feel free to start a build thread here if you have plans that you'd like to document over the coming months/years. Always a good thing to see a new V-series owner (i pussied out of a V36 a few years ago, so mad respect to you).

nice work mate. Put some pictures up so we can appreciate your beaut

Galant VR-4 and Audi TT is very round stable, congrats! Have a search around here, 99% chance someone has already tried/had an issue you have. But feel free to create a new thread if you think your inquiry hasn't addressed.

C'mon prank, pump those laps in (on PS controller) for deep forest gr.4 Lancer, you got this!

I've only got Silver until that Deep Forest gr.4 Lancer one, nice work mate! I can never get gold as i'm like 2 secs off the time, always

Honestly, as someone on the standard PS4 controller, should be relatively easy to get gold. Remember you have more grip than you think.

Got my first gold. Deep Forest Lancer Gr.4.

Start fresh, I wouldn't trust any of the factory wires to handle a decent amount of current, especially now that they're 30+ years old.

Sounds like a great event

Thread derailed. but yeah my dog (now 10 years old) became the defacto "grandson" for my parents. I get phone calls asking me to bring my dog over for them, they don't care about their adult kids any more haha.

wait... you have a 17yo daughter? WTF feelold.jpg

the low beam looks impressive enough, but that glare is concerning. Could just be extra exposure (it is hard to capture what your eyes would normally see).

Wow! nice purchase! Can you get a nice wall shot of the beam? Low and high beams would be nice. Try to find a white wall somewhere flat (e.g. shopping center car park), maybe 10m back from the wall if you can. Honestly, the LED vs. HID thing, I still think HID are better. My BMW has factory LED projects, they are friken awesome, but compared to my missus' Mazda3 D4S AFS projects, I find her HID better (I changed the factory aging bulbs with Osram cool blue boost for that 5,000K beam). I find the beam of the Mazda (Koito AFS basically as good as it gets barring the Lexus) wider and much less foreground. But am very interested in these.

9.5" +38 rear is Nismo RWD size so it'll fit fine. I don't see any downsides as the wheels will fit better. 10 +35 seems too stretch/stancenation to me (I like meaty tyres).

have a look under the car, could be poly bushes that are falling apart. I'd stick with rubber for street.

Ah yeah the Euros have weird seals to join the headlight housings. Definitely clear up those lenses, any hazing dramatically reduces light output (as I found on my Liberty with factory HIDs).

What I recommend: "H4 relay harness" for your Headlights, the R32 switch is passed though the headlight circuit, so it's common to see burn out switches because people have used "100W H3" or H3C bulbs, they are all shit. ALL BLUE TINTED BULBS ARE SHIT no matter what instagram ad you saw, every single HID/LED/whatever bulb is shit. Trust me, been there done that, every halogen bulb is shit. Your only real upgrade path is to retrofit proper HID projectors and ballast (or equivalent Koito LED projectors). trust me when i say i've been there done that, no replacement for displacement. And that's saying with me driving a BMW F45 with factory LED bi-LED, and my R32 having aftermaket bi-Xenon (morimoto d4s) you cannot argue with physics

hey prank, i've been low key fiddling with HID headlights, so could improve yours (barring whether your one is Evo-R or minid2s 4.o onwards or improved) yes yes i have a lot to answer for regarding headlights, i'll get around to it. for reference, my F45 has factory LED bi-LED projectors and it shits all over anything we've seen so far.

to be honest, you need a new mechanic. Where are yo located? This is ridiculous (actually not that far fetched since people are trying to take advantage of jap import owners)

probably cheaper to make your own... might as well go widebody. Pumped guards ftw

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.

surely it can't be that hard to replace your spark plugs, oil filer and engine oil?
