I still don't know why people think chucking on Nardi steering wheel will make it the hottest shit in the galaxy. I effing hate nardi wheels, it looks shit on all modern cars. It barely looks ok on drift cars. The only cars it looks dead hot on are the old Z or the old school GTR with their old style interior.

Nardi wheels are hot. I wouldn't put one in MY 35 GTR but i'd definitely have one an older car I had in my garage.

I would have thought this would have sparked more discussion on the pro's versus cons of moving the paddles WITH the wheel or leaving them as std and fixed to the column.

My vote goes to keep them fixed to the column as per std (they're always where you expect them to be in that case), although the carbon is rather porn.

IMO the paddles should move with the wheel so they are dead square with your hands on hard cornering. I've never driven a car with flappy paddles but the ones on the factory GTR work totally fine from the looks of it in the recent Fifth Gear review.

They're big so even when you're cornering they aren't hard to reach. So i'd say stick with factory because it works!

BUT it mightn't be the same on other cars. I saw another review of some Euro car (bloody forgot), and the reviewer was turning hard, wanted to change up and needed to actually move his hand from the wheel to reach the paddle. That's annoying and dangerous :cheers:

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
