Fitted my front new coilovers today (rears to be fitted when my knuckles recover) and a cute little lip spoiler. Enjoy.

The super low pics are from initial install - obviously it is not like that anymore :( It now has a healthy 340mm wheel centre to guard legal gap to keep me off the speed humps and spoon drains

lol thanks mate me rikey your front height very much but we know your in your wiser years now and we both know leagal height is the way to go. are you going to keep your factory rims?? loving the much distinguished new ride you have mate. hopefully cruise with you or run into you at bp soon :D

Nah mate I am not keeping the stock rims (despite the fact I think they are among the sexiest stock rims on the planet), but am trying to decide between the rims below.

I trial fitted the GT-Cs on my car and are my dream rim, but they are expensive.

The LMGT4s on the 350Z and V35 are my current faves (the pics on the 350Z are 18" x 9.5 +20 which is my preferred offset).

The AME Circlars are long time fave rims (I used to have some without so much dish on my R34).

The AME's look dope. I'd go with them :(

trying to keep the cars spotted thread on topic so ;

it's not actually Dan.

The National average full time adult wage for 2009 based on a 38 hour week was just under $1300 pw in the private sector and just over that in the public sector.......that's about $34 per hour.

You Accountants would easily be doing that, lol

Not in IT its not. I'd love to know where u got those figures from, and whether those figures are skewed by including super. Median salary in IT is $50k pa fte, you're lucky to get anything over $65k pa fte unless you're a very high level programmer working in the defence sector. I'd love to get $50 per hour, but this excludes having an ABN and having to pay all the liabilities that come with self employment, income protection insurance, liability/indemnity insurance, life insurance/incapacitation insurance, superannuation, taxation, lodging bas statements etc etc. I was earning $55 per hr as a contractor under an ABN but when it came down to it, after the expenses and insurance it came down to around half that. Its ok if you've got a great accountant that can write off the majority of your personal expenses as a business expense, but even when I had a great accountant I still found myself paying extra for the hidden costs.

Or maybe I'm just in the wrong game. If I could get $50 ph at a full time rate (without being a self proprieter) I'd count myself as very lucky indeed. Worth considering changing professions too, provided it doesnt require a uni course.

    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
