ooooh very nice!... is it wrong I feel like licking the paintwork... geez Mick does some good work

ps. get some tire shine on those RE55's Snowy!

LOL - look it was 37 degs or something when I got the car. It was FAR to hot to do all the nice little things. It was almost too hot to taken any pictures let alone be fancy with them.

Hopefully one day shortly I'll get a couple more good shots. Complete with the black rims and tyre shine (just for you Nick).

Haha - less than 2 weeks. My 1st rally is on Jan 31st in Tassie. The car is being entered as a 2005 Nismo GT-R Z Tune (hence why I've done the kit).

Looks really nice andrew, I love the agressinve look of the Z tunes.

if the car is being entered into a rally as a Z tune, doesnt it have to actually be a Z tune. when they have a closer look at the car surely they would be able to tell if its the real deal?

good luck with it anyway! :happy:

Regarding competition stickers.

Why don't you buy some "paint friendly" vynle, that is somewhat easy to remove, stick the competition stickers on your vynle, then cut around the sticker and stick that to your car. This would make the removal of the stickers easier and will not peel the clear coat off your car.

The sponsors of the event really don't give a shit what adhesive they use on their stickers and if it marks/strips the paint on a car. Just an idea to keep the car looking mint, after the event has come and gone.

looks nuts dude.

question why not do the skirts in black to match the lip and more Z Tune like??? but looks hot either way

wanna sell me you stock GTR bonnet??? lol

cant believe such a hot car is only a race car :) (or is it road registered as well???)

cant wait to see this in flesh at deca or next track day.

its road registered as far as i know. you might even see it around

Well given basically none of the N1 GT-R's doing targa are actual N1's the short answer is no it doesn't matter that it's not the genuine article. You can follow guidelines and build a "replica" which is the common thing to do for many of the cars including EVO's (RS) and WRX's (Spec C, 22b etc) amoungst other cars. Then of course there is the classics. I think you'd find a large % of the entrants are in non-genuine cars simply because the genuine ones cost far to much to buy and then butcher into race cars! Hell even the 2 well know Lambo Superlegga's aren't genuine ones (just standard Gallardo's) and I bet by the time Targa rolls around we'll see a couple of R35 GT-R Spec V's listed as well.

As for the Nav Age - James is doing the job first up and Dan is stepping in for April.

nice paint job there i had my car done at mi colour when this car was there and i have to say the work done at this place is 100%

now it is a Race car and this nice paint job will be stuffed as soon as u hit the track lol

Well I just picked the car up from Mick @ Micolour who has finished fitting the new Z Tune kit and spraying the whole car.

It's come up brilliantly (pics don't do it justice - will have to get some better ones later but it's too hot out there right now). But I'm wrapped with how it's turned out :P

Looks great!

is it the nismo z-tune bits, which are about 1500 USD for the l/r front wings alone, or are they look-alikes?

does the engine vent through the sides now, any decrease in temps?

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
