I picked up my Profec B for $365 at... CAR TOYS! Amazing price for Car Toys I know! Was on special so I impulse bought it haha its probably back up to normal RRP now

Oh and another impulse buy off a fellow forum member last weekend... TIEN springs! just finished fitting them today! 3 late afternoons and evenings to get it done - was a back breaking fun time consuming learning experience!

I got one!

R31 drift pig: I got the ebay version of the seat that your selling! I've turned it into an office chair :domokun:

nice glasses vu

3 days to do springs LOL. hey, but ya gotta learn somehow.

Ta! They're actually goggles... I dont want any random bolts taking my eyes out haha

It took something about 12 hours all up I reckon... the first 4 hours on the first day I didnt have the right sockets had to wait til the next day to get it so I spent that 4 hours removing the shocks the springs came with as well as removed the backseats + parcel shelf and factor in time sitting around admiring how sexy the car is. The next day was spent doing the first corner... did a few things wrong which was time consuming to undo and redo again! Then today the rest was a breeze!

Thats pretty impressive Vu.

I'd never attempt something like that myself on a nice car.

Also how'd you change your username?

I like to get hands on down and dirty :domokun:

You can have your username changed in this thread:

Ill reckon most people will pass. Double Demerits this weekend and the 5-0 will be out in force. Same as next weekend too.

And bollocksing woot to finishing @ 11 on a long weekend! :banana::)

Just got a clean xf s-pack auto, 4.1 efi with 230,000 im the 3rd owner and its always been parked under a car port only paid $1200 :D its a daily and tow car but already im looking for 17inch AU XR8 mags and putting my 2x12inch subs in and dropping her 1.5 inch all way around.

You will need spacers for it if you use AU+ rims because the offset will be wrong. i have a NC fairlane and tried to put a set of rims on it and the offset was way off.

    • Also build this EH ute with 370z motor and gearbox with a couple of turbos just for fun.  
    • Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.
    • Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.
    • Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing  
    • I just stack 2 pieces of 200x50 timber on top of each other. Total length about 900mm, with the top one being a little shorter and both having a 45° angle cut on them to make the front edge a bit of a ramp. Put these in front of each front wheel, drive up on them, throw the trolley jack under. Takes 1 minute. Scissor jacks can eat a bowl of dicks. I never use on under my car unless desperate.
