bit Rancho spec tho, needs slamming

haha yeh im gunna dump her at some point :laugh:

gotta get the guards rolled first, it already scrapes at the back whgen i go over a bump at speed :S

Heres some interior/engine pics

can see the door handles need to be painted.

need to get stereo in and off my bedroom floor

air con vents need replaceing, no biggie, going round scrappies next week.

left over tinting needs to be scraped off

had some floor mats in there but i took em out as they were ugly plush grey skyline mats :S (wts :laugh:)

steering wheels for sale as soon as my brand new MOMO jet comes from japan.

new gear/brake boots will be ordered as soon as seller gets back to me :D

im gunna move the turbo timer to beneath the stereo, it keeps falling down (any ideas to make it stick ?)

also need to grab a lighter lol, dont smoke, but it looks daft without it :S

engine bay doesnt look great but once i get oil catch can in, a new aluminium radiator ovwerflow, heat shield for pod and a good degreasing, that should clean it up until i can afford to replace all the lines and get some stuff painted/podered

also i was under the impression that 89 - 90 R32's had blue guage cluster, does that mean sum1 has swapped them round in my car ?

Really!, you sure its the guards and not the exhaust?

Could even be your rear suspension setup is too soft and lower = stiffer, that will fix you up shmickington steel :D.....Now that I read it back, it sounds unright! :laugh:

good stuff, cheers for comment :(

very nice car, and what do you guys mean by getting your guards rolled ?

if you run your hand around the underside of your wheel arch, at the body line, you will feel that the sheet metal turns 90 degrees and follows the curve, sticks out (in) about an inch.

edit: and thanks ! :D

got some of my new bits on. my dad is bringing home brackets for my catch can today aswell, but im still not 100% how to plumb it to an RB20 haha ( any help there ? ) pic of gear knob does it no justice, thats not dust in the "NISMO" bit, just light reflecting back and forth. ill have to get in back seat and get a pic in focus so you can see how nice it actually is. will wait for my new boots to come though. (gear shifter and handbrake boots :) ) steering wheel is mint, im soo happy with it :D and of course the radiator cap, im pretty sure the box says it adds about 3rwkw, but its japanese so i cant be sure :)

will get pics of engine bay once my catch can is mounted and plumbed and ive painted and put back my strut bar. i ordered ne wpassenger side air vent today too, interior will look nice once thats here and i put my head unit in. then off to the trimmers :)

nice deck bro :(

haha gimme time man :P

i got an alpine 9855R sitting in my room right next to me :)

just gotta pick up some front splits and get it installed.

I've got my old GT-R front/rear brakes (non-Brembo) and factory rims available if you're interested. Not really trying to sell, but a cheap upgrade for you none the less. Drop me a PM if you're keen.

Nice ride BTW - like the 32s in black (although I'm somewhat biased :mellow: )

    • 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.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
