in regards to your cold air intake, is it possible to fabricate some sort of snorkel similar to a stock skyline on that sits on top of the rad support? and flairs out? this no issues with water soak

Yeah that would be the best one, I can't believe I didn't think of that! Would be the most effective too. Thanks dood!

Any input on the wheels and/or break calipers?

Hey guys, bit of a video of having a bit of a sting on the freeway...

This vid gives you an idea of the road manners of the car, forgive the sting at the start, I missed 3rd gear lol

Has a bit of Bloody Beetroots/Congrorock soundtrack too haha

Should do 0-100 in about 5-6 seconds

Enjoy!

Hey kids just wanted to chuck up a few pics for some process...

Here's my sexy new log mani for my external gate conversion.

Has a 38mm wastegate port and I need to find an adapter for 38mm two bolt -> v-band for the Tial.

From there I need the .86 housing for the turbo then a t3-t28 adapter and then its off to the exhaust shop for the new dump and wastegate plumbing...

I'ma get carline mufflers to make up a reticulation pipe, then a block off plate and a screamer, so i can interchange between screamer and recirculated :P

Fun times!

i would love to have a sr20vet X trail as a daily

they are just so hard to come by

f**k yeah... There was only 500 or so made, and it seems most people who bought one, don't wanna sell them... Apparently most of them are in Malaysia or new Zealand...

    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
    • Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
