clothes line spec wings are so 2004... fulsick drifters these days have 3D carbon wings. P1's look insane. Our Sky80 has them as well on its rears (must be something with drift cars not being able to afford a full set) and they look horn.

BTW, make sure you take down the figures on the wheel before you return em (offset n all that).

nah nah

wait til u see em man, i just fitted em to the car and they look so phat :(

Clutch is in today, works a treat, turns out i had a nismo full face clutch in the car that was looking a bit worn, the flywheel was riddled with cracks so i ditched that. New clutch is a 6 puck Extreme unit specilly made to suit my car, peddle is lighter then before but there is heaps of bite, gave it a quick drive round ther block and it feels AWESOME to use.

then, after 3 hours (yes huddy 3 hours... record time haha) of changing clutches, and the drive round the block, i let it cool down abit (after consuming a few bourbons) then ripped the stock turbo off to fit my new KKR 430 turbo, and i have to say the KKR looks to be fairly impressive in size... i tried to fit it to the stock manifold only to find the compressor housing fouls this protrusion from the stock manifold that had a thread in it fopr the heat sheld.

gave up on that today, but tomorrow the Angle grinder comes out to play and i'll grind off that mount on the stock manifold for the sheild (there are plentyt other bolts still there anyway to bolt it on) then try to fit it.

After spending the better half of the day under my car i have found out the following.

- i have a full trust exhaust all stainless, with a hollowed out cat

-few dents in the rails... bit of work needed if im going to comply and register so i'll put it off for a while

-i have alloy stuff everywhere

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
