Cheers Dale...will check. Any recommendations on where to pick up tyres from btw?? I pm'd Taleb Tyres on here but no reply yet. Anyone bought anything from Ozzytyres?? - seemingly awesome pricing.

Thanks - I do them..... Will post pics asap. OH MAN...Don't start that again (I can hear Jonno screaming "all black" and my brain screaming "gold with silver lip" and you going "black centres please - thanks" - noooooooo its in my head !!!) 18x9 +35

This was delivered earlier today............ In other news.... Going to spruce up the rims as best I can and then put all four on the car to narrow down what tyre specs I want to run. Leaning towards 245s 40/45 18 (common size and therefore cheaper) - though I would like to run 255s. Also debating what tyres to run.....tossing up between Ku31s, Sumitomo z111s and Toyo T1 sport

**BIG NEWS**..... I GOT MY NEW WHEELS......YAY !!

Cheer up...you have had a fair bit of "very bad" luck (to put it politely) but I guess it only gets better from here !! Wat size and offset are your new wheels?

Spent the whole of this morning cleaning out the shed and found heaps of old boxes that were going in the bin..so then decided to mess about with some old posters I had... and then before you know it...I ended up with this In other news.....ordered myself one of these......to keep the "stealth" look going under the hood.

I love the GTR front bumper too actually...but then again I do not want everything to look like a GTR...booorrrrinnngg...plus I love my front lip !!

Cheers man...and yeah that is a good point and something that I did not really think about (the restriction part I mean). Guess if I ever chase big numbers (inevitable at some stage I am pretty sure) I will work on a side mount plate setup and / or get slim line plates. For now J E Z is good enough for me This is a random picture of my car while out in the winter drizzle this morning. Was a handful what with the light rain and cool dense turbo friendly air. Will upload pictures of the engine bay once I finish tidying it up. Looking forward to the July break to get some of the aforesaid small projects done and finally order those damn rims. Been putting car stuff off for so long its making me depressed - nothing like a good old "spend on new car bits" !! Cant wait to see the car with an aggressive offset, deeper dish and chunky wide ass tyres. I love the kit and overall look to bits but the wheels need to "come out more" and be "bigger" so that the car can be lowered more without scrapping bits off and to fill up those guards.

Yeah we already established that....apparently it was a nismo edition in my defence...I did say it was custom made - custom made copy that is...hahahaaaa!!!

FINALLY got to work on the car again....forgot how happy it makes me Did not get any before shots...but this was during the process I read it somewhere on here and have since then been using the vaseline trick......it works a treat with preventing paint to settle on rubber bits...seals, piping, hoses etc. Just apply...paint...wait till dry and then rub off. Will get some pictures of the end result up soon hopefully.

So last evening I walked to the car after work....started it.....turned the wheel to back out.......and was met with this loud groan.....played with the wheel and found that it creaked every time it was turned to almost full lock (both sides)....did this at standstill and at low speeds.....was too tired to investigate in detail last night so drove home. First thing this morning I addressed the issue and found it was the power steering fluid (too low) and that it was'nt exactly a very healthy colour either. So flushed out the old and put in new fluid. Will monitor. (wondering if it is merely coincidence or if DOMO is playing up !!) No new updates......target is May for new goodies.

Continuing my new found domo obsession....tidied up the inside of the fuel filler flap.............

A very big THANK YOU to my mommy for knitting me my new domo !! No big updates as of now.....just ticking over....new job so no time..will get back into it asap.

^^^ Sarcasm Sheldon Cooper !! (I have learnt something over two years - you would think so anyway) hahaa...but thanks anyway for meaning it in good faith....Theres a reason why I called him a fat dude...annnnddddd the show is so overrated - coz they talk a lot of rubbish !!...but I like the car bits

From what I have been told stock ones are decent (and are an upgrade for quite a few cars - that are tracked)...and with the right pads and decent rotors they work a treat.... Also seeing how I dont exactly plan to track it (YET)....so to answer your question....I think its perfect for now Going to get some some suspension stuff upgraded next.

A big thank you to Tom for all his work on my car............. Out with the old brake lines... In with the new brake lines.............. ................and back home...................with some awesome stopping power

Nice going................. Feedback on the rear strut brace???

Been watching Top Gear...a friend downloaded all of it (right from the first show) and I stole it off him......and I have got through a couple of seasons thus far......AND NOW TO THE IMPORTANT BIT..................just realized why the tyres the car had when I first bought it were worn out on the insides instead of evenly or on the outside etc etc......skylines are harder on the insides of their tyres...........thank you fat dude from Top Gear !! In other news............delay on my stopper....so will have to wait one more week

Also changed the aircon / alternator / power steering belts to gates items.......as I had a squeak on cold starts (using the car less now that I have the red devil)...problem solved. Feedback on new braking system. Pedal feel is relatively the same as stock....the very slightest bit of play / spongyness and then bites. (soon to change with the new cyclinder stopper) Pads give off a LOT more dust then stock...but grip like a bitch and stopping power has improved by a more than substantial margin. The harder you press the better it bites and seems to get stronger and stronger...(love it) Slotted rotors look mean as.....however I think they are still bedding in along with the pads as I have the occasional screech / high pitch squeal which is most embarrassing at the lights. New braided lines are going on when we change the fluid and put in the stopper (sometime next week hopefully)

and will soon have....................a master brake cylinder.

Money gurus have been hinting that I should take a "BRAKE" and cut back on my car related spending.... So thats exactly what I did !!! Night fury now has..... New braided lines...slotted and dimpled rotors...EBC greenstuff brake pads...better brake fluid.

Dropped off the car this morning.........going in for some new stuff !!!!

Just realized I forgot to upload a picture of the coolant and windscreen wiper water bottles..................so here goes Another angle.....

So...............pulled the sunshade thingo down the other morning when I couldnt see a thing because of the blooming glare and thought to myself.....there is a great discovery to be unraveled here..........hahahaa.....no I didnt...I thought.....man this is boring !! Seeeeeeee what I mean... So I pulled out some of the left over leather trim that I had.............. ...and then I became F U N K Y ...........................lol Outside view BTW...Happy new year people
