heres another one, wheels are 17x9 +22 all round.

thanks

Thats awesome

Wow got any more photos, best 33 since granthem's

Haha cheers mate! Hope it doesn't change your opinion, but mines currently undergoing some cosmetic surgery :D

Combination of changing the cars style (since I think the Enkeis suited the more "racey" look, but the meister will be more suited to less lairyness) and the fact I hated by stupid fibreglass front bar with a passion.

Felt like doing a timeline of my car after seeing granthem's post

Car when i bought it

Eventually scraped walls and stitched it up

Changed Stitching Pattern and Rattle canned the scrap so it looked cleaner

Smashed it into a tyre stack at Wakefield Drift Day, borrowed a drill and repaired it between sessions

Thought the front bar would attract too much unwanted attention so got a full kit for 200 bucks and came with this trust front bar

Got defected so went for a more stock looking car

Got sick of people saying red front bar looks dodgy and also saw old pictures of my car

So painted the front bar white and also got a lip

Wanted a cleaner look so painted the front lip

Takz your timeline is insane. You can;'t be called a hardparker thats for sure!

While my new bars are being painted, my best mate spend some time doing some paint correction on the whale.

Results are below :D (crappy iphone pics, but you get the gist of it - im super happy!)

Visionary genius :D

And thanks for making me regret selling my RPF1's blags!

Alright guys, got ma new grillz (Nelly voice) - what do you think? I'm fairly diggin it. Its only a test fit, not all clips are on the grill so its sitting abit funny

The grill is a series 2 4 door item. Don't see many of them so I snapped it up.

Its missing some clips off the back tho. God knows whew I am gonna find any to replace em with. I was thinking panel beaters would require new clips frequently?

cable ties brah

I have a pack of my highest quality black cable ties at the ready as a last resort!

If you wanna sell the grill let me know! haha

Haha took me a while to find it actually! Hoping it matches my 4 door grills under my foggies well :D

If it doesnt - its yours

few pics of my car atm. not 100 complete, bar is just sitting on there. got a Bond cage to go in it and quite a few other odds and ends, brake ducting etc new oil cooler. its registered (was my daily for 3 years) but wont be seing much road use now, hoping to do all the hillclimbs in Tas next year and all the suppersprints plus a few private days, should see atleast one event per month and atleast one small road outing a fortnight in the nice weather =D

cheers

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
