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.

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:

      We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
