f**k me josh!

thats jizz - when i have cash for wheels, we'l talk offset :D

Soooooooooooo very very hot. Almost makes me tempted to pull apart my rims to rebuild them for porn fitment, but alas I am a very lazy kid. In past history tells me anything, they'll never go back on my car :/

i bet thats something u'd do

It’s actually pretty common to do a flip/conversion as it’s cheaper than getting custom made lips/barrels made. Pretty common in wheel rebuild threads on a few of the wheel/offset forums I am on.

Yes I post on wheel specific forums

Been wanting to do the same thing:

Also went and spoke to a shop in Underwood that do a few race cars/drift cars (they did the body work on the Option1 Silver 350z). Without sitting down at working out each cost, they said around $1000 to weld in a pannel.

I have seen roof cuts on ebay for as little as $150. Cut at the pillars, so easy to match and cut, then re weld. People are put off, but I don't know why - People take the roof off cars for SERIOUS roll cage building, it's not different - Your just replacing it with another one.

IMHO if anything putting a sunroof in a non sunroof car makes a car weaker then welding in a non sunroof, roof.

that's a bit better. thought 2k was a bit rough.

do you know if you could fit the non sunroof roof lining once the work was done?

what place in underwood did you see? i work near there, so may pop around and have a chat

wow just went an met my next door naighbor who ive seen playin around in his garrage the past few days, hes got a r31 with a rb26/30, gt3582r, 4" zorts turbo bak ful surge tank setup, big f*k off external gate, the whole f**kin shabang.

Yeap, the more you supply the cheaper it is. I just wanted a sheet welded in with no centre rib (IIRC its only there for two reasons to hold in the roof light and to stop minor roof flex eg: if you lent on the roof in the centre).

If you supplied the centre rib and hood lining and just welded in a plate, apposed to a full roof swap it'll only be around the $1k as well. You can buy the rib new from nissan. I'd also take the sunroof out myself as thats an extra few hours labour you can save. I've had mine out heaps, it's not a hard job.

The shop is in Kenway Dr. Should be building number 6. There is always imports and all kinds of shit there.

**the hood lining on my non sunroof R32's where only ever held in by the side pillar trims, no clips, no glue. There is no reason why a factory liner will not fit**

    • Resizing injectors in Nistune can be done a couple of ways, and there are a couple of ways that you can make a mess of it. The tuner needs to be really aware of the effects of whichever approach he uses (either K, or TIM). They are both easy enough to "get the injector size right" to run the engine. But little details like old start enrichment and hot start are affected differently, depending on which boxes you check.
    • Pretty safe to say almost everyone that has tuned their own car has experienced this issue. The difference being that we have our laptop in the car and when it happens, it's literally 10 seconds of tuning to sort it.  Would you be happy to plug in your laptop and sort this yourself? It is a very simple process and there is no risk of harming your engine (if you are worried about that). 
    • Yeah thats the next step now, either they wil or i will take out for a drive to work and go straight their after work and see is we get the same issues 🤞  thought i try my luck here too, never know someone else might have had the same issue but thanks for the reply 
    • Basically your tuner needs to drive it for the 30 min (or whatever) to create the same conditions then check the ECU settings and sensors at that time. They may not be excited to because that takes them 30 min rather than just opening the bonnet and seeing the problem straight away.... Hot start is generally not as tricky as cold start, but there would be a table for fuel enrichment vs coolant temp as a starting point
    • Yeah, they all cant say anything for sure as everything is working fine . Said unable to find an issue untill it stops again. Could mist likely be CAS wiring or IAS valve issue but again not 100%
