I don't think they're too 'clean' for any car, especially skylines

dont get me wrong, i would sell my big toes to get my hands on a set for my car. im just saying, for the theme he's going for, with the rust and all, lmgt4s dont fit. theyd make the car look hot, but something like professors or meisters would suit better. cos they are a thicker spoke, with exposed bolts etc, it gives a tuffer impression to the car. w/o the rust, LMGT4 in bronze or black would be sex

imo

+1 for the beefy rotors nd brakes.

other than that it looks f*kin good!!! congrats on the outcome!

only prob i really have with the flared guards at the rear is the fuel flap. i think ive only seen one kit that brings the fuel flap out to line up with the extra width.

Thanks everyone for your thought, really fun to hear after the last months of work!

Haha ye the brakes look kinda.. tiny :blink: Another one for the 'to do in autumn'-list!

I havent really decided if i like the space at the fuel flap yet. It gives away that its been widened, which is the idea, but so does alot of other things to :)

man that turned out nice. the colour looks fkn great!!!

would look better lowered, with those tyres right up at the guards.

good job man. if you're into the rust look, thats the finish you'd want :)

    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
