looks great; also, like the removal of side guard indicators.

^^ What are you guys talking about. Side gaurd indicators are installed in Australia as part of compliance.

No R32 from factory came with indicators. Some compliance places in Aus could get away with not installing the indicators as it was all dependent on how you interpreted the ADR specific to visiblity of indicators others installed them. So its a bit of a luck of the draw.

Apparently R32s from 1991 (I think) and after need to have the front guard indicators installed when compliance is carried out but for the older model R32s 1989, 1990, 1991 they don't need to be done

That would be why Tony's one doesn't have front guard indicators

I'm not 100% on the years but thats the reason why some have them and others don't

abu thats what i heard exacley bro, that is true..

Yeah thought so man, my cousin recently took his R32 GTR in for complianced and asked if they would not include the guard indicators but they said it was a requirement for compliance so yeah

Sorta sucks because I like the look without the indicators

I just bought new guards, couldnt stand the indicators :D JDM spec ftw

all i need now is those things that hold your seatbelts out a bit, bastards stole mine in compliance

haha I was thinking of getting GTR guards so that would solve that problem also

I love that seat belt thing, was sus that compliance might take it out but luckily they left it in!

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
