Good time Dale and great shot....

Is that a baby seat in the back???

Cheers Jase; pretty stoked to get the time too!

Why yes; yes it is, dad spec is the new sex spec. The after sex spec, if you will. ;)

And given half a chance; my young bloke would've been along for the ride...

Josh, the 18 x 9.5 +12 fit all good? any guard work needed?

I run 18x9.5 +12 on my s1, with 10mm slip ons on the front, ive rolled my guards all round, although have quite a lot of camber, if your're prepared to go quite low, they fit well.

Took a photo up at Mum and Dads today inbetween working on the Xk120. This is pretty much my safest ride height and where it will stay. 335mm front eyelid, 330mm rear. It clears up over any driveways, gutters and gives good enough travel over the shitty roads (I do alot of onsite callout's Tweed/Goldcoast).

Even though my exhaust is tucked up pretty nicely, it's lowest point is 110mm off the deck.

Car drives so well still for what is now 335,000klms on stock turbo no rebuilds. Been running 12psi+ for the last 200,000 klms :D Roil Additive at the start and motul 8100 excess every 10k. Have to credit Nissan for building such an outstanding engine, driveline - everything.

Pennies are being saved now for a couple more suspension parts - front tension rods and swaybars. The clutch feels tired so probably needs doing soon and then I can get onto the better stuff in life - hypergear turbo, injectors, fuel pump, z32 afm, cams and nistune.

looks good always loved these yellow stageas

looking good Jez!

Makes me keen to get new wheels and coilovers for mine!

Also, blacked out grille and highbeams looks pretty good too

Because it makes it look less like a Series 2 and more like a series 1.... HA.

It does change it up a bit. Got a bit bored with the pig nostrils ( thats what i call the high beams )

Just a couple of pics of mine from the SAUQLD Charity cruise.

Thanks to Andrew and Chris for the pics.

Car looks great SABBAi, how the hell did I not know about this charity cruise. I am such a dope some times.

    • 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!
