It did look fair tough in real life, but white was always the plan so I painted it up and cleared it today, so now the wing and lip are ready to go, but I reckon I'll hold off on mounting them properly until I at least get some rims.

One more pic just before I took it off.

Maybe. 2 of the blokes at Adelaide Tyrepower had matching 4 doors, this was one. It did look fking tough with the Weds meshies it was sporting back in the day. Doesn't look so crash hot now though :(

Not gonna bother fixing it either, just gonna track it and thrash the crap out of it :) It has a fair bit of rust that was hidden before, so it's no great loss of a shell really.

Well I pulled the back out a little bit today with the aid of a tow rope + the cressida (ghetto style is how I roll). I can fit a tail light in there now and can almost fit the bumper back up so thats forward progress I spose.

And I also got bored so decided to chuck the lip on all painted. I reckon it looks aight (save for the fact it desperately needs wheels)

WOO WOO exhaust is fixed with a Blitz Nur Spec :D :D with the silencer in, it's fkn quiet as a mouse. No more waking the neighbours when I get home from work at like 3 - 4 in the morning :P:)

Reo is a wee bit closer to being aligned too, little more bashing to be done :cool:

tail lights sourced - minty fresh series 2 items for $65 each thank you very much :ban:

Also grabbed some alloy cradle lock spacers and steering lock spacers. Solid cradle and more lock shall be FTW when I get around to fitting them :O

Will take a heat gun to the bar later on and see if I can get it back to normal shape (or close enough to) :sick:

Getting there :P

Series 2 look ever so slightly different, in that they have reflectors in the middle of the hotplate bits and a horizontal crease line that lines up with the bottom of the boot/top of rear bar. I reckon they look a little nicer then the earlier tail lights.

I forgot to mention before, my SSRs rocked up too :O 16 x 8 +20. Fitted on the front with a 20mm spacer to clear the brakes should look pretty tough, but I'll do that when the 16 x 9 +16s I just bought arrive. Until then they are rears (will use aformentioned 20 mm spacer on the front with my 16 x 8 +38 Watanabes)

I've also come across some Fabulous (brand) rims available in 16inch with widths up to 10j and offsets that go right down to -31 :ban:

If the 9j I've just bought fit well on the front, I'll go 10j +12 on the rear :sick:

Just wondering, why did you sell your jzx100?

Because I am a f**king idiot :domokun:

No seriously, get one. Nothing will seem as good any more (hence why I have absolutely no problem throwing the 32 into a cliff, it's only skyline junk to me)

I'd get another one but I'm trying to slow down spending on cars (modding them is pretty exxy).

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
