damn those wheels look nice J Dawg....whats the specs on those wheels bro

18x9.5 +12 wrapped in 245/40/18

I was with him today when they were fitted and it looks very staunch from behind,

Love it :)

About coolers, Im in two minds about them.

The GT-R one standard is black... So I'll leave it like that and I am getting the front bar mesh so I'll be putting that on,

But if it were a custom system I'd have it all chromed up as it comes out the box :huh:.

He can't even do up a sump plug bolt without stripping the bolt and your going to let him do your cooler install :\ Your game!

I joke :)

Anyone think it's worth painting a FMIC matt black to maintain a stealth look?

I painted mine black to hide the stone dents... some people on other forums have suggested that painting the fmic black helps with heat exchange due to the color black being a heat absorber rather than a reflector like white but tbh I cant see how it makes any difference - esp since putting paint on acts as an insulator.... either way I did it for cosmetic reasons and it does look a lot better imho

+1... I :huh: too

I think the FMIC's look better now black too. Not into the wank wank bling bling look at me look at me factor.

Ben, I also caught 4 squid this morning down at Brighton Jetty. Probably could've got more if I had some more lead

How come u needed lead? Usually they congregate under the jetties...

Didnt get anything last time I went to Ardrossan (nothing legal or edible that is)... blue swimmers are very small this year for some reason

It was quite blowy this morning at 6am so I was having trouble getting the squid lure to sink deep enough. Most of the bluey's I've seen locally are small too as are the tommies

Ended up getting 23 good size panny's ranging from 40-55 cm in whyalla, bugger all bluey's around tho

Just dropped my subframe out the front and all steering lines.

Now for that to get sand blastered next week along with engine assembled :(

painting tomorrow woohoo.

at this rate your car will be finished before mine.... *grumbles* still not f**ken tuned =(

edit: ohhh... caprica startes today, but i think its just re-airing the pilot

When u got the right tools, some know how and some mates who know how to help out it really does help.

Got Andrew coming down Monday to start with the engine. Hopefully I got everything now.

Next is some nismo parts to freashen up the front end. So hopefully in 2-3weeks it will be all running.

been out fishing four times on various nights/various locations this week, holidays ftw!

we cleaned up a good amount of size and some absolute cracker size blueys off grange jetty late Thursday night / Friday morning. We did throw back a shitload of small ones however. picked up a few big sand crabs too.

Every time we pulled the nets up, never empty. More crabs than an 80s hooker's bush. After 1am we were the only ones on the Jetty, and that's when we bagged most, and the biggest.

it was dodge tide that morning apparently, so we didn't try for fish or squid.

    • Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?   
    • You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.
    • Run the piping how we all have for decades. Also the duel runners with the +T setup dramatically helps it gets on boost quicker. Yes, chase huge power it'll become a problem, but you're a long way off when you're already saying an aftermarket ECU is out of the budget. You also say NisTune as it's simple, and then immediately say it'll be painful, meaning... It won't be simple. It will likely cost you a lot more stuffing around with a Nistune, than just putting a Haltech or similar in.
    • I’ll order an afr gauge to keep an eye on it.  Then will get a haltech soon 
    • TD05 or maybe pulsar PSR2867r Gen 2?  id love a garret but it’s quite out the budget for now and I’m not chasing crazy power.    yeh fuel pump haven’t looked into but whatever works, kind of last on my list.    Nistune because it’s simple but Ik it’s a lot of pain especially as I’m auto +t with the whole seperate TCM etc still investigating that. Haltech id love but once budget tight for now atleast.    finally the reason I’m trying for a plenum instead of the stock intake is I already have a standard Intercooler mounted etc. so the ports are on both sides so trying to not have to go over the clutch fan radiator etc. trying to find a good deal return flow if I don’t than this will do for now I guess. btw any ideas with that, apparently some people have to cut blades to reduce it from hitting the Intercooler piping over the radiator ? Thanks
