Yeah mine has the factory locations was just wondering how difficult it was to get all that removed... i think when i do the speakers in the doors im going to pull off both mirrors and check for rust... seems to be a common thing, i don't really want my doors rotting off.

A little off subject but is there a Stagea Audio install thread on here?? If not i might fire one up

Yep, we've created a DIY section with stuff borrowed from the Skyline DIY sections where it's the same between the cars, and specific threads for our cars.

The stereo DIY is here...

Hmmm a guard role might be a good option. helps with the tyres for one and two will make it look a little more curved instead of straight like it is now...

What kinda cost are we talking about for a guard roll job like seen on yokotas13's??

Is there a real risk of paint cracking etc if the job is not done just right? really don't wanna be repainting stuff

i own a 260 with 34 gtr rims and have 285's all round the only rubbing i get is on full lockk and it actually rubs on the inside of the wheel

285's!! thats crazy talk they can't be that fat?

Coool! might be a goa :P ill consider it, im in the process of doing all my audio stuff first so when the wheels come closer to summer ill look into it again.

Thanks for all the input tho guys its been great!

235 40?.....45? I think I've got 235 45's on mine: the tyres have that really stretched thing going on, because the rear rims are very borderline as to wheter they sit outside the guards or not. I'll check when I'm back in Qld again: mid-week. I even managed to get them engineered, as Qld law states thet the tyre must sit in he guards: they never said anything about the rim..... For the record, they do scrape with 4 people on board, but only a little, and I'm running SK's suspension package...

I'll get back to you about tyre size in the week....

Sorry man! Forgot I was getting back to you: so much crap going on right now!

Tyre size is 235/40

Apologies for tardiness!

Some work! must be a considerable ammount of work.

What you getting done?

Well so this doesnt turn into a novel, basically forged internals, over sized pistons, crank has been balanced and stroke matched,block has been acid dipped and crack tested, using head studs now, tomei sump and rocker cover baffles, tomei metal gaskets, hks style manifolds, GT2860R turbos, full replacement ecu to cover the basics. Waiting on the turbos to arrive, the motor is being assembled as we speak with all new bearings and gaskets etc. Still about 3 weeks off turn key id say, then i have the agonising task of running it in! I get the feeling im gona be driving along way the first weekend i get it back to get some power dialed in asap!

you should easily eclipse that figure. I make 300awkw on standard internals, running N1s. Yours will be rather impressive, I should think :thumbsup: Very nice...

with all the internals that your are doing are you upgrading the injectors, FPR and fuel pump? Bigger turbos? If you are you should be making well over 350kw@4wheels. And i hope that you got a 4" exhaust to match that as well. if not that will be your lomotation.

Hey guys, im being a lil conservative in the power figures possibly, but that way im not disappointed if it doesnt roll higher! lol! At this stage i havent done injectors or fpr, thats why im thinking the figures i am. The exhaust is already done though with hks style manifolds, 4 inch split dump pipes, 3.5inch stainless system with high flow cat into twin cannons on the rear, so should be able to handle the flow. I"ll definitely keep you updated when its finally back together and run in though!

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
