Don't know about the front lip and the rear skirt. Look like an imitation as the fit is not good enough for "real" jdm.

Love the grill though :D

Turns out the front bar is made by Pond.

The side skirts are definitely Impul.

Still don't know about the rear bar.

Ok so now what does all that mean?

I took the car for a drive today it ran well

Also took it to my mechanic and put it up on the hoist.

It has taken a hit at some state in the passengers front right just on the wheel...

There are a couple of new bits around the wheel and a little welding that has taken place...

Also the guy hat is selling said he can get the body cleaned up for me... I was wondering is there a way to raise the body kit so I can lower the car or would I just need to scrap the body kit all together... Sorry for the noob question ( never really been into Anything but classic cars...)

Those screen shots you see are from Nissan FAST, which is the program that tells you all about the manufacturer of the JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) vehicles and gives you all the part numbers etc.

You just put the Vin# in and it tells you what options were factory fitted to that vehicle.

Lower the car as is, when you break the body kit from scraping on everything just buy another kit on Import Monster :)

My RS is low and the only part I've scratched the f*#ker out of is the front spoiler, you have to be careful on long inclines or short steep ones. That's ok though because I have my heart set on a full Nismo bodykit :D

i cant believe youd get rid of your aero kit for a nismo!!

anyway, jpave, youd be surprised how many cars come into the country from japan that have been repaired (even very well) and the owner never knows. i rekon if the car HAS been repaired well, it all lines up and is mechanically fine, and youre comfortable with the price, then get it anyway.

hmm.

I am starting to see things from your perspective Iain.

Aero kit = OE plastic (can be popped back into shape for minor dents)

Nismo kit = Fibreglass (can be smashed into a nasty shape with the same force that would only dent the plastic)

well, stephen can get the nismo kit and you buy his aero kit! its in perfect nick.

but yeah i prefer plastic over fibreglass. with plastic welding its piss easy to repair. hence why damaged ones still fetch decent prices on the yahoo auctions.

btw, I actually do really like that red.

I know you guys do, you just like to sh!t stir :)

And I honestly didn't know the Nismo kits were fibreglass, that could have changed my mind.

What about the Pond and Dolphin kits, are they plastic or fibreglass?

Fibreglass for both... and Masa, Impul, Takero's, Garage Maki, Kenstyle, Gialla etc.

just put a deposit down on the stag just waited for the kit to be fixed...

should pick it up friday :)

Congrats!

Will need heaps of pics!

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
