Get rear spats and maybe de-wing it?

If I still had mine, I'd do garden edging the lip on front bumper, get gtr offset rims and slam it, shame I sold it.

Cheers

Grant

My car was very cheap from Japan back in 2004 when importing was relatively new for R32s. Haven't really spent much because most of it was already done, really the respray and the twinplate clutch were by far the two most expensive things I have done.

GT-R bars can be quite hard to track down, in your case I would try and wait for the same colour to come up and buy that rather than getting a cheaper one that is in the wrong colour :(. Ditto for Bonnet. Fitment is exactly the same as a GT-R although I have the guards as well, I believe it is a simple process to fit to gts-t guards. The important thing is that the stock GT-R bar actually has very good aero properties, is plastic and quite light, and does look fantastic. It's very hard to go past. The bonnet is also a great mod because the gts-t bonnet actually weighs a lot :). Guards are not really worth the effort in my experience.

All this said, my GF has a stock gts-t that the Count was refering to :D and it's going to stay stock because really.. the stock setup is very good and looks very good too.

The gauge faces are aftermarket, got them off ebay cheap from a broken dash ($25) but you can buy them from ebay brand new for like $70 (rip off in my opinion for white plastic haha)

The footwell led's are hooked up to a switch so they can be on full time or when doors open or off. :)

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
