Dont mind the missing fuel cap :banana: Was getting some paint for my ganadors just wanted to make sure it matched.

New wheels are lenso 19x10's, they have a +17 offset compared to the factory 30 so the wheels come out nicely now.

Thanks to Novak from Empire Aero for these, perfect quick delivery and nice guy to deal with.

Heh yeah I know she sits pretty high, im not fussed but.

Ive lowered heaps of cars in the past but now I prefer to keep the drivability and not have to worry about scraping over the smallest of speed bumps or angles. If the front spoiler didnt hang down lower than the rest of the body id consider dropping a few inches on it.

They are almost the exact wheels im getting! Im only going the 19x8.5" though. I've been waiting for 2 weeks just to find out if i can order the bloody things from the USA...getting over that pretty quick...

Might have a look at where you got yours from.

Hot wheels :D

Very nice mate, looks like a mint GTR,

If that was my car the only other things I'd do externally would be to get a pair of nismo sideskirts or similar in CF to compliment the vspec lip and rear diffuser

and also get some CF ganador mirrors.

But very swoit as it is, lowered GTRs look wrong to me imo, that's just me

what happened to your fuel cap!! nice measurements on the rims though!

:P

as stated he's using the fuel cap to match paint.

looks 6.5-7.5/10... would love to see those rims in full gunmetal grey with a 1.5 inch drop... wheels excluded looks like an extremely nice example!

if your happy im very happy! nice stuff dude clean car all round! :ermm:

Like they say Jenkies you cant judge taste, if everyones was the same it'd be a pretty boring world!

Fuel cap is back on now :ermm: I got some ganadors but im painting them blue, im not really a fan of large carbon pieces. I have a carbon ztune style bonnet but thats getting painted also :D

After that im done with my patrol, then its off to straddie, or something :P

This is just my opinion, as you asked, so don't worry too much...

I think those wheels look like horrible, cheap, Tempe Tyre spec wheels. Definitely not suited to a tough GTR like that, imo some quality Jap wheels would look 100 x better. But hey, just my opinion, so if you're happy with the wheels thats all that matters.

Personally, not a fan of those wheels - reminds me of alot of the "JDM modfied pro racer spec" Honda Civics out there. I would of gone for something thick spokes, possible dish depends or just kept with the standard wheels. I would of also gone for something like shadow chrome, silver, dark bronze or dark grey - single tone; not two tone - would go well with the blue much nicer and be more subtle looking.

Other than that, definitely needs to be lowered - atleast to about just barely above the tyre; preferably have the tyre slightly under the guard. And as someone else mention - sideskirts would compliment the rear diffuser and front lip real nicely. Overall, bar the wheels the car looks mega hot :thumbsup:

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.

      Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
