Hey, thanks. S2 sedans are definately the go. I actually had a silver one but lost that in a separation. When I sold my GTR I just had to have another one, the extra 2 doors and the extra boot space in the S2 sedan can't be beaten! I love the rims on your car, the rears look huge!

Mods are centred around suspension mainly for my track work -

Sydneykids' group buy bilstein shocks, whiteline springs, pineapples and adjustable swaybars

Cusco adj rear camber arm, adj caster rods, tension rod and 1-way diff

Nismo front strut with brake cyliner stopper

Hawke Pads front and rear

DBA slotted 4000 series front rotors

Road rims - Nismo LM GT2 rims 17x8, 17x9

Track rims - Volk Racing GTP 17x8, 17x9

turbotech boost controller set to 10psi

100mm thick SMIC with custom shroud

13 row oil cooler

K&N panel filter

CES front pipe, 3" metal cat and kakimoto cat back

and a set of Bride reclinables on the way.

Sounds awesome, ill look into SK's group buy when i get more money. What are the hawke pads worth if u dont mind asking, im after a good set of pads that will handle track work. the LM GT2 rims really make it look tough. Love your work, keep it up. hope mine can be as good as yours one day

I am pretty sure it was a little over $200 for the front and a little under $200 for the rear?? Hard to remember though, it was a while ago that I got them. I had the same pads on the GTR and they were magic. Have to bed them in really well though, otherwise they squeal like a banshee!

Highly recommend SK's group buy, have messed around with coilovers and different spring rates on GTSTs and GTRs before but this set from SK is really nice package for road and a bit of track work, really handles bumps and uneven road extremely well. Can't speak highy enough of it. And the price can't be beaten for what you are getting.

tough looking car jlnewton. have you considered getting coupe headlights?

anyway here's some pics of mine before i started returning it to stock to sell.

Thanks, nice GTR. Brings back painful memories of seeing mine go. . . . .

I have thought about the coupe headlights, it will happen one day. Just not a priority atm, a lot of $s for a cosmetic thing. At least they aren't as expensive as those xenons on your car, I looked into upgrading mine on the GTR when I had it as mine was only a series 2 not 3. . . . . I nearly fell over. . . . . >_<

Same car and rims as mine, only mines black....are your wheels 17 or 18"?

Really need to get the front lip on mine

They are 17s. the ultra light wheels.

Yer i love the standered series 2 front and the lip reali finishes it off... now for side skirts n a rear bumper... lol

Mines got the standard sideskirts and rear pods...I like em :)

What website is NS.com?

yer i kno i was going to change the rims until i looked through the reciepts and saw $4000+ wid tyres! i thought wow mayb i lik them now! haha.

do u have any pics of ur car showing the rear pods?

Edited by Adz2332

they're very subtle.

The other factory option pods on the GTR extend around the rear of the bumper a bit, where as these just kind of pump the side of the rear....I like these better than the wrap around style

NS.com is nissansilvia.com....a forum like this one but more about silvias than skylines obviously....one of the traders on there has a listing for the AVS T6 wheels...17's from $3400, 18's from $3700....so that puts my wheels at a minimum of $3700 + tyres....I never knew they were so expensive :)

I'll be finishing off the complete whiteline suspension kit as soon as the bilstein shocks are back in production (it's already got everything else, sway bars camber/caster etc) Not sure on ride height yet...don't want anything ridiculous

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
