Thanks fellas, they're 18" by 9.5", glad you guessed 19's though :thumbsup: I think that dish usually makes a rim look a bit smaller (when the spokes don't go all the way to the edge of the rim, so, glad to hear that. I thought about getting 19s but I think 18s will do nicely as an upgrade and the suspension is already rock hard as-is...

That spot at Sylvania is pretty recognisable huh :) It's great fun taking pics of the car

I like them... they're "racey" looking but yet still got the bling to it... very tough looking especially on a black R33. However, perhaps you can lower your car a bit more so that the tyres fill the guard just a tad extra - as this would make it look perhaps even tougher.

Thanks Spunky :) Yeah I agree with you, there are TEINs in there at the moment that I could have lowered about another 0.5 - 1 inch and it would look "bangin"... but I need to get over my driveway! Plus there would be extra wear on bushes and tyre wear from the neg camber unless I get a camber adjustment kit right?

Very, very good looking R33 there, love the paint, offset, headlights - its all good!

That bridge shot is right near my place (about 2 mins drive) and most weekends there's someone down there with some sort of car taking pics. I go that way to the pizza shop through the loop road and its pretty hard to miss, one car, about 10 people watching, and generally another 3-4 cars waiting for their turns at pics :laugh:

Thanks Stevo. Yeah I thought it was a bit strange that when I went down there, there was hardly anyone else around. Pictures turned out a lot better than they could've; a guy named John down there lent me his tripod - I will have to get my own though!

Thats HOTT.

and I love the Nurburgring Sticker on the Bumper :D

It's cool that someone finally spotted that :P A few people I know have asked me whether it's a country, or if someone hit my car and paint is peeling off it... I would love to actually do a lap of the Nurburgring though, even if it's not in a GT-R :rofl:

Thanks again guys

      Unpeeling the Orange

      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.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.

      Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
