Well on a fine comb inspection last night i noticed that the mags have been scratched when going on. Basically the rattle gun has worn away paint of some rims in the nut chamber. Off to the tire shop today, see what they propose to do. I didnt buy brand new mags to have paint missing from a simple careless job!

thats something thats almost unavoidable....in all reality it'll happen eventually even if you use a tyre brace and do it by hand....I wouldn't be overly concerned about it and I'd think the tyre shop will say the same thing, its near impossible to stop that happening!

^^^^^ Me too... I'd be pissed! People don't take care anymore huh? I have a white leather steering wheel in my R32 (Yea yea, I know, we've got to make mistakes to learn from them though) I took it to a mechanic in Townsville, came back with greasy black prints all over it! Grrrrr.....

What did the shop say they'll do for you??

i jus bought a new set of rims from the koya new catalogue....was tossing up between ur style ones and the ones i ended up gettin...i have a silver S2 33 so went for the similar look....

ill post some pics up if u and anyone else wants me to...let me know!

I just shat my pants,

very nice (best Borat impersonation)

Looks awesome mate, but definitely needs to be lowered just a little bit to make it look complete...

either that or some sideskits and rear bar

*BEWARE OF GUTTERS*

man do they make the stock rotors look tiny...

Cheers dude, Im very happy with the look its achieved :D

Yeh im planning on some nismo skirts and probably a rear bar like yours, or an Impul item.

Other then that the looks department is nearly completed!

Yeh brakes look lame now but :)

Thanks for your input Yo Yo!

nismo side skirts and matching rear bar (like mine) will look sweet.

Impul kit flares out a bit more so I don't think it will flow with the stock frontbar

Just paint your brake calipers like I did lol! I was gonna do them in brembo gold but the supercheat auto only had the anodised red left at the time.

This is why when ever i've bought new rims i got the tyre shop to fit the tyres and balance them, then i take them home and fit them myself carefully with a torque wrench like they should have been done in the first place ! Then i return and get the alignment done.

I also don't like rattle guns anywhere near my blue anodised Rays wheels nuts.

Nice rims dude, :) i've got 19" Koya Race teks with black centres and polished lip on my 32. ;)

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
