the car isnt actually that bad.

if/when it gets defected all ill need is stock wheels, stock suspension, and stock exhaust. then just remove boost controller and that little shit.

guages etc are legal, so it wont be that much hard work.

lol mods are the least of ur worries going through inspection mate, its the roadworthy stuff ull get pinned on. it depends on the inspector and their impression of ur car, but as an example i have been failed for things like a small tear in my drivers seat, a patch of oil about 1" in diametre in my engine bay etc etc, ive been pretty lucky in the past though as i go completely over the car, tidy everything up, degrease the engine, spray the underside of the car, and since ive been through the process and know what they look at i pass 1st go most of the time. when my car came in from Japan i took it to a compliance place and on top of the actual compliance work they gave me 2 pages worth of shit to fix/replace myself before going through regency, and the car was in pretty good nick, so there's not heaps to do before i go through each time now days as most of it has been fixed to get through regency not long before but its still at least about 20hrs of work to get the car ready for regency each time.

I want what SHYGRL's rolling on, very nice looking rims. They fit a GTR?

Or i want some Volk Racing GT-C's in the gold. very noice :cool:

definitely tough rims, i have the same ones but in bronze. (17x9, +20 and +30) so they wont suit a GTR unless u fit 10mm spacers to the front.

these will also be for sale in the next couple of weeks.

To all those saying you must buy "jap rims" this is what wheelworx can supply :cool:

It's all about knowing what offset you need and ordering accordingly, NOT going to Knob Jane and asking for "rims that will fit your skyline" because then you will get whatever they have in 5x114.3 in absolute shit offset

so you mean, 34 gtr rims? lol.

hmm, i guess i do, haha.

weight can also be a factor when buying aus(china) rims over japs rims, but if your just cruising in your car and its not a track car that needs to save weight then it really doesnt matter

it does matter, just not as much. light wheels help ur suspension absorb bumps better and transfer less shock into the chassis, better ride comfort, handling (grip), accleration and braking. how much u notice it depends i guess.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • 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.
