Some night shots for me last night (shortly before getting defected whilst driving around looking for more good photo locations .. *sigh*) ..

You should be able to click on those for a larger image too.

Overall, I'm pretty pleased with the results.

Certainly not bad for a cheapy camera - just wished it had raw capability so I could have done more with them post-processing...

dude! what did u get done for? :)

Guy was just looking for something to get me for - tried for the tint (but it's factory), ended up doing test and finding the exhaust was too loud, of all things (annoying after I'd requested the original installer of the exhaust some 2.5+ years ago to make sure it was legal).

Regency subsequently took their piece of flesh in finding more things wrong (excessive movement in rear steering rack - my suspension guy had seen it long before and said it was well within spec), and factory xenons (which weren't removed during compliancing. Oddly enough they didn't even test the exhaust when it went through (which was the thing it was defected for!)

Wow Jenna. IMO the 2door spoiler looks ALOT better then the standard 4 door item. It looks excellent in the first shot.

Yup - I'm surprised more people don't do it. I'm stunned how much nicer it looks.

Now I just need to follow-up with the rest of the factory body-kit. I have the rear pods sitting in my garage, and I've organised for picking up side-skirts in the next week. Then I'll just need to get them fitted and resprayed.... should be good!

Good on ya stan! Just goes to show you can make a strong potent automatic.

If I hadn't have bought my gtr I def. would be aiming for something similar in my sedan. Always wanted to make a rb26 automatic :P

Thanks mate! It's taken a long time, but we're there ;)

Awesome Stan!! Congrats buddy.

Cheers~ Congrats on your ride in the "Best of the Best" issue - gotta be happy with that!

Thats one insane GTT satanic!

Thanks :P

There's a build thread being written up here (http://forum.jdmstyletuning.com/showthread.php?t=19866) if you're keen. Feel free to sign up and comment / join in on the rest of the JDMST fun.

Damnit, stupid thing about browsing this thread from work means i cant see half the photos :D

i can see a few, so im going to say

Nikolce: love that first pic, the sky looks wicked behind the car

Danski: loving that pic of your car with the river behind, glimpse of the city, very nice!

and John-e-boi what made you decide on blue rims???

I havent taken any proper photos of my car yet, going to do a shoot with my bf (if i ever get a spare day ever again)

passive - to be honest, no idea. just thought i'd try something different. i ended up liking them, so they're staying until i think of another wild colour i can go for lols. everyone seems to have safe colours. white silver black bronze. thought i'll just give it a go. some dislikes it, some loves it. each to their own i guess.

goldzilla - thanks dude. glad you like it (hoping you're talking about my car and not my mates rx7 with meisters lols) =)

satanic - your car is intense dude. awesome job

Dude, I'm definitely referring to your car - FD3's are nice, but your car kills it in those shots!

    • 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.
