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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
