Just been assembling everything at the moment then over the next few weeks get the side pipe done and the widebody all molded in. Probably end up making all my fuel lines and other braided/teflon hoses to.

Just got some scrap pirelli's on the front and Dunlop semis on the rear. All 295/30/18. Was surprised the 295's actually fit pretty well on a 10.5.

Will msg you sometime to pop down and have a look. Usually here late a few nights a week.

Luke awesome work brutha, well done with your efforts, she is going to be a sexy-beast with them wide body additions!!! Can't wait to see the final product!!

One of my favourite 4 door pixs from the web!!

Brief update.

Got the boot floor cut out today.

Subframe all braced up

Fuel cell/boot bracing made up

And the sway bars arrived smile.gif

what the bracing on the subframe for? didnt think there would be much movement / twist in it?

looks like a awesome build tho!

Nice cooler...looks like the R spec full knife end inlet edition...extremmely hard to get now.

I used 280 Michelin Full slicks from the GT series cars...just ask the tyre fitters at the track for the used sets..usually 50-$75 each. Good enough for a 1:16.0 on my street suspension at lala.

We can do 2.8 kits now with CP pistons if your in need...much easier than converting to 3ltr

Who is we? What is the "kit". Feel free to PM if you like.

Luke, let me know when you are free mate, would not mind to come check out the beast.

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
