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

ah ok...They're AVS T6 rims...pretty expensive on NS.com with 17's starting at 3400...i've got the 18's

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

    • Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?
    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
