K I wouldn't normally do this but when I actually have the money and the time.. I suddenly realise there are far too many choices, what should I do?

I have a completely stock body GTS-4 4-door which I poked the nose of into a wall. Now I am up to body repair but I can't make up mind what to do. The choices to me are:

Touch up and leave it stock and same colour, cheap but sorta boring.

Same colour, add the pair of GTR guards I have to the front and dig up a GTR front bar then wait however long to get type M sideskirts, cool but both front bar and sideskirts seem quite rare at the moment.

As above but change colour, along the lines of this,

Something like a Uras kit.

Thoughts?

This is what it looks like atm :w00t:. Sadly Grey GTRs are rare as however I have a set of black GTR guards so a respray isn't too much extra. I think I like the idea of OEM goodness too so i'm currently chasing down a frontbar :w00t:. Anyone got any contacts for the type M (1990+ gts 4 door) sideskits.

Gunmetal Grey GTR's are far from rare unless you mean BLO (Grey Blue Pearl) which is hard to get because it was a order only color.

hard to say from that pic which one it is.. soo dark

hhhmmm, personally?

Firstly.. i think you need to put a GTR grill.. i think that will make quiet a diff to the look of the front of the car.

I like your idea of the GTR guards and such.. i would say give it a GTR look with GTR Front and Side's, and possibley an aftermarket rear to make it flow a little more.

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
