Thanks! I found that the Gram Lights were also a love/hate deal. I think these days most un-ordinary modifications are.

I chose the BBS because 1.) It had never been done - to my knowledge and 2.) Much like I believe the titanium Gram Lights will never go out of style, neither will the RS.

Sure, you can say the look doesn't quite fit the car, but I haven't seen a single car that the BBS RS doesn't fit. Any car, to me, looks good with them. The RS has been around since the 80's and people are still cleaning them up and putting them on new cars. They're timeless. I can buy any year model German car and they'll look great. I can buy a FT86 and they'll look great. I can fit them to a 10 year old V35 and they look great.

I can sit here and pull the whole, "it's my car" thing, but there really was a lot of thought put into this... just like the previous setup. While I enjoy my car, I want others to be able to enjoy it and appreciate the work as well.

And finally.... that rear lip... I mean... c'mon.. lol :Pwaffle4_zpsedcd7eda.jpeg

It does look good mate. BBS seem to make amazing wheels that never go out of style and suit anything. Good on you for doing something different. I loved the gramlight but these are better. Needs more poke and dish. You will have to forgive some of the people on here. Jealousy for not doing it first.

As some of you may know i attempted to put a VQ25DET from a stagea into my 250GT. Well it didnt work for various reasons. So now when people say "oh stageas and skylines are the same only one is a wagon and one is a sedan" - its a load of crap. The only thing they really share is the front doors, windscreen, dash and other little bits, the rest is either slightly different or totally different.

So we ended up cleaning out the plenums and intake, new spark plugs and other bits aswell. Got some V35 forged rays factory tick option wheels. NOTE: these are not 350Z wheels.

I also put on a aero bumper.

I can't wait to see that painted. That is going to look rediculously good.

Very nice work mate, I think Nissan should have chosen that for the front end of the sedan to begin with. Perhaps looks even better than the coupe.

Wasn't sure whether here or newbies was the appropriate thread (that fact alone nearly induced me to post in newbies), but just picked up a V36 370 a couple of weeks ago. Finally decided to replace my 4door R32 GTSt. 'S' variant, and very happy with it (apart from the Japanese GPS of course). Shopped around for a bit before buying from Road and Track at Silverwater. Great to deal with, and the car came with de-registration certificate from Japan, giving me some piece of mind as to legitimate kms (apparently a common issue from what I had been reading).

Sorry, only took basic shots at my place with a camera phone. BTW the rear wheels aren't not quite as low as they look; the positioning in my driveway is causing that!

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
