^^^looks good

the only reason the trust front bar looks good is coz it makes the headlights look very evil, it exposes the whole front mount core(giving u that hardcore look and ppl think ur packin shit loads of boost) and is lower than most other after market front bars

Edited by skyline17

Definately get new indicators. Trailer lights do not belong on a Skyline :P

I would also go for the black inserted headlights.

I would hate to think how little reo you now have and how unsafe your car would be in a front on accident :/

sorry, just my opinion...........

And who charges $1600 for a fmic now-a-days? Unless of course it is a full custom job.

Hi Al,

wow..thanx for your comments!!..,really appreciate them.

There is still a fair bit of Reo in the front,....but who would it be more unsafe for?, the driver or the thing that gets hit?? :woot:

I actually really like my chrome headlights, they're different to the norm, and when polished come up a treat!!!

The black ones are cool though.

Yeah, I am tending to sway towards you on the indicators. I suspect that finding nice ones is going to be a little difficult?

I do like their 'raw' look though, just got no class at all.

FMIC??...what is the 'going rate' nowadays on install and parts,..I was quoted the above figure a while ago, admittedly.

Regards,

Spit.

looks good.

doesn't look like it's colour matched properly to the rest of the body though - looks too white while the guards and bonnet look to have more ivory.

Hi R09,

mmmm...interesting comment...I must say the guys at my work, those who spray paint for a living, seem to be actually impressed by the matching.

I guess digital photography can make things appear that way,(ivory/mismatch/shade) though i can't see it in reality.

Admittedly, my car does need a good polish!!...maybe that's what you can pick up on???

I value your input Ronin, and i thankyou.

Regards,

Spit.

Just found these if you are interested in changing your lights :cool:

Indicator link

I would choose "M3 Series Truck Clearance Marker Lights" and mount them in the lower ducts using some cheap L-shape brackets from Bunnings.

Hey mate I put a couple of pics up in the members gallery under Front bar. I don't know how to transfer them to this thread. They were taken on my phone quite late in the day so they are not that great but you can get the idea. You can see the orange globe where the park lights are. If you want to ge indicators I was told to look for actual trailer ones as they are small and clear. Tell me what you think anyway.

Hey buddy

just an idea for ur indicators, this is what i did on my front bar.

i dint want them sticking out anywhere cos the bar looked hawt without indicators.

ps, dnt laugh at the paint on the front bar, lol, its gettin sprayed again :D

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
