Jarrad, what side skirts are those? N1's?

And Wayne, as Damo said, chicks love the live read-outs. I bought a ECUtalk LCD read-out thingo purely for this reason. Not only do the chicks love my centre console gauges and love hearing me crap on about oil temperature, they also love reading vital information like fuel injector cycles. And water temps.

They love it.

I also indulge in explaining my torque metre in the dash.

But seriously, I hate it when chicks are like "z0mg you've got a Skyline... my ex ex ex ex bf owned one but it was like all square shaped." and you're like "but this... is a GTR... how can you compare that with a 31?" and they're like "but all Skylines are the same?"

I've only met a small handful of women who are like "Ah... GTR... 2 turbos then, eh?"

Reminds me of the time my girlfriend had a work drinks night at Marble Bar and some guy was talking to her. He's like "I drive a Skyline". So she replied "Oh which one?". He goes "An R31 Skyline". She follows up with a "Oh, the old shitty one? My boyfriend has a R32". He just walked away..

lol hence why they dropped the skyline part off the R35. getting your 160k+ car talked about like its a 2k old pos.

I always note what they say as to how much they know, if they know nothing about cars they call it a nissan, a lil they call it a skyline, and if they know what a gtr is theyll call it that or godzilla or something

n n1 sideskirts drop at the rear wheel in a lil point sorta of thing aside from that they pretty much flat like a stock gtr side skirt, take a look at the calsonic R32 that has em. least thats what i think the n1 sideskirt is

All I know is its a standard GTR kit. I don't have the rear pods, but I think they're a factory extra

The sideskits you have definately aren't standard GTR kit, theyre type M's. Front bar is, and the rear pods look stock too (like dan says, the n1 has a lip that drops down, however it does look bigger than my pods).

(I'd love to get a pair, anyone got a link as to how much they cost?)

This is what stock r32 gtr side skirts look like

Edit ; I see u edited ur post talbo, but I'd recommend Andrew at Goodyear on North East Road in Hampstead Gardens. Dude knows his stuff and has a 4 wheel aligner.

The place on Hancock rd opposite St Agnes Shopping Centre, fark the name escapes me!

Cheers. I know the place you're talking about but I don't live that way anymore so I'm going to just stop past somewhere on the way home from work and see if they can fit me in.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
