that scene? Custom made panels or just that style of car in general?

Hi, been directed here to clear things up...

Yes we do custom and no it has nothing to do with your type of vehicle, we just tend to go down the path of integration rather than show :blink:

Want a loud, bright speaker that can take a real punishing.

Have heard a Mercedes that only had one set of SL60's front and back and 2 x 9500 subs and it sounded great.

Was contemplating putting the top of the line JL's in the front (sorry dont know model number) but was not as impressed with their performance and they are around three times the price.

Some great pics there.

Personally I'm going a completely different route than the above.

As much as i love great sound, my mission with this car is something that i can take to the track every couple of months and have one hell of a time without worrying about breaking things.

At the moment the car has full NISMO suspension (Shocks,springs,sways)

I have lightweight wheels, but going lighter with TE37's.

Next step will be track only pads, swapped in for the day, and semi's on the stock 18" wheels.

I'll see how the clucth holds up and update if needed.

Engine wise it will stay pretty standard at this stage, unless i crack and go supercharged :-)

I have a Fuji exhaust, and will be looking to get extractors and high flow cats down the line.

I've been looking into a reflash of the CPU but haven't decided on it. I've found a US company that has the Jap V35 software and will tune to Aussie fuel and the air/fuel ratios of my car (from a dyno read out)

Some decent cars with decent drivers are doing Wakefield in under 1:13 which is what I'm aiming for.

That's it at this stage - not going for the quickest track car in the country, but something that can keep pace with some of the turbo boys :-)

I love the way you think NISMO and am also tempted to supercharge the beast but not really sure if it is worth it. I bought this car to get over the defect problems and just a little worried. Although what are the chances of a cop even knowing if it was standard or not?

a car-savvy one may always be able to spot non standard items no matter how or what you do to hide them.

but just stay away from those shiny chrome piping, paint them black or flat silver if you have to and it will look stock.

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
