BTW you have the same side skirts, rear 1/4, and front fenders as mine.

I'm trying to find the right offset for mine too.

If you do find a offset for it let me know.

car looks nice dont like the rims the 18s would be enough with nice offsets like roy said... it would be good to see the car in life in the sun to get the full effect of the paint.

THe colour is abit of a overkill, didnt think it would turn out so bright, i will bring it out if theres a local cruise.

Thanks for your help and opinion guys, appreciate it.

Paint looks awesome buddy, even though the pics are shitty.

As for rims i would stick with 19's, with charcol/black centre and polished dish :(

Hope to see the car one day. Maybe even line up yours, Janissary, and mine to see the differance in paint. I'd imagine yours would "pop" more, being a custom colour.

i know what you mean, but at the moment it has 18x10's and doesnt fill out the guards enough.

So im thinking 19x12.5 Work Vs rims.

Although im unsure of what offset i need to fill out the rear guards.

19's should be fine. But get something like a +20 offset.... you have large guards dude, so I wouldn't be skimpy on the offset.... even look at some spacers!

Paint job looks awesome mate - i believe it was you i saw in my rear view mirror yesterday at about 5:30'ish on Ballarat Road; you slowed down next to another bloke in an burgandy R33 and then done a u-turn - I was in my R32.

Pictures dont do this paint job justice - very nice in the flesh :)

Cheers,

Steve.

nice colour... bit too porno for my liking but hey I'm old.

worst pics ever. lol.

what's the deal with the FMIC... why is it laying back at the top??

if anything it would be better to lay back at the bottom like a GTR rather than forward in case you clock the curb parking etc....

Yeah that was me, slowing down next to a friend of mine towards caroline springs.

I had to lay back the cooler , because my piping runs the factory way and the piping is run behind the intercooler, instead of under, because its abit too low to the ground.

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
