need to get a proper camera

Agree with everyone about the bar and bonnet, very nice indeed.

Can anyone positively ID that bumper?

I'm having a LOT of trouble finding a bumper that I like 100% and is available somewhere in Oz...

Too bad I have no fiberglassing skills so I could make/mod my own 'ideal' bumper :D

Got my twin dump pipe from these guys... The said that there twin tips have same flow as there cannon and look at there power figures...

Good quality and price give them a look http://www.cesracing.com.au/products/

Nice. So thats a 3" system yeah? Looks like they don't make 'em for 3.5"?

Really? Is it that bad? Wait what shit out of my car.. the babyseat?

ahahahaha

dump it = lower it :thumbsup:

nah it looks good but just sayin it'd look better sitting lower and wingless. as all 4 doors should be!

Omg.. feel like such a dud..

I would ... not sure if I'm ready to get rid of the wing.. and I may lower it.. I will sit and ponder..

btw nice car.. I like the paint job.. I'm looking to get mine resprayed burple..

Cheers for the advice!

HI I'm Anna...

btw why do people hate wings so much?

Is your car non turbo and was advertised on ebay like 2-3 months ago?

BTW: love the wing think its either a uras original or a knock off my only suggestion would be to get lower mounting brackets so it sits lower on the boot then won't look so outta place. If you added the wing where'd you get it from and price please :thumbsup:

alloo,

Had it for just over a year now.. but it was bought on ebay, wing and all.. so i'm not sure where he got the wing from.

It's NA tiptronic.

Thanks for your thoughts.. I agree about the wing, I think it gives it some character... I know some people hate it but each to their own!

LOL,... what a classic. :action-smiley-069:

You should definately change to slimline plates too, it can make such a big difference to the overall look of your car.

I used to have the yellow NSW plates on a black car a few years ago, and that looked absolutely hideous.

Ah, East Bear strikes again... all the bumpers I like seem to be from them.

Naturally they are bloody expensive...

Thanks for the info!

Hahaha yes I know I know... my fiance's blokey as so you'd think I'd have picked it up...

Yeh looking to change the number plates too.. just haven't got around to it.. 3 kids under the age of 5.. it ain't easy. But first thing's first - I want to respray the car then I'll look at changing the plates.. it'll be a while :blink:

You see for me it's like bunk bed and clothes for the kids or respray the car and other mods for me... I'm a mother first car enthusiast second.. *sigh*

That's the way all good mother's are, maternal instinct kicks in and children come first.

However, you could always consider the fact you have "4" kids,...... including the skyline, which just needs a little more love and attention than the others... lol. :blink:

Just explain to the kids that their "big brother" needs new clothes (paintjob) first, and that they will just have to be naked for the next few months, and in terms of the bunkbed, they can just sleep on "big brother's" lap (aka the backseat).

    • For DBA, check out their guide table here. https://dba.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Direct_Replacement-Guide-2021.2.pdf   Additionally they have some other guides and info on how to make sure you choose the right pad.
    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
