Bit of an update,

Now sporting some White TE37's & a yellow canary on the window.

Went though regency a week ago completely standard ish...but didn’t pass because of window tint, GTR wheels with brand new tires & the zenon hid's which i thought were standard. Waiting till pay day to get new tires for my standard wheels then going to go back though, luckily a friend from high school has a 34 now too and she's offered for me to borrow her headlight to go to regency with.

After I’ve gotten of defect I need to ether get some longer wheel studs or 10mm spacers with longer studs what do you guys reckon? Also can any tell me where i got for logner wheel studs?

Update*

Soo anyways my bestmate ended up getting my car defected wile i had no license haha so been like 1 step forward 2 steps back but anyways all cleared now and cars completely standard & regency approved :(

but anyways that wasn't going to stay that way for long haha i ended up swapping the GTR wheels for a set of white TE37's with 'rad32' of here and yeah really happy with them. Put them on for the first time the other day and took some photos so here they are:

Fronts 18x8.5 +25ish Rears 18x9.5 +20ish

Fronts could maybe do with a 10mm spacer and some smaller tires, thinking 225's instead of the 235's

Rears im really happy with :(

I know about the mexican 4x4 lol the coilovers & exhaust should hopefully going in on saturday along with an HSK EVC 6 & display unit that i picked up yesterday. It wont be as low as the last time, going to raise it up to a legal-ish height i think :( and yeah think thats all i need to say atm

oh the bucket seats are now forsale $2250 $2250ono or swap for a full 25neo manual converstion heres the link:

awesome, so go the exhaust back on and along with that fitted up my new EVC and works good need to mount it properly n stuff yet but good for now lol anyways I took it for a test drive on 44KPA which is around 6PSI, it seams more responsive but its now hitting boost cut now under heavy acceleration. I thought standard was 7psi? i'v put my low boost on 44kpa & the high boost on 83kpa (12psi).

anybody got some suggestions?

thanks

Well i though to resolve the problem i had with the boost is to get a nistune remap & overall make the car run better so that’s going to Dex up at garage 7 early next week. So hopefully ill get some good power, iv never had any of my cars on the dyno so im rather excited. I would like to make around the 170-180 mark so fingers crossed a few people said i might not make that though cos its auto, is that true?

Also the exhaust is on now too so got the awesome RB grumble back along with coilovers and TE37’s are on too.

A few more little visual mods going on this month, my rays lock nuts got delivered this afternoon so they will get going on over the weekend along with hopefully a new vivagarage ducktail lip. But i didnt want to go the same way luke went with his 4door (as tough as it is!) so i went with something different. when it arrive from USA (taking a gamble here!) an evo style vortex generator. I don’t know how it will look because the 34’s roof is rather flat and long but we’ll see I’m pretty excited. Colour scheme: I’m thinking of doing them both in a glossy black or get them painted up the same as the car with pewter.

Up for subjections

Also still sporting the banana breaks, Legendary!

I got one of the ducktail lips for mine, needed heaps of prep work and wasnt the best fit, gonna get a proper jap one i think.

thanks man, your the second person to have said something along the same lines so think ill get the origin one :banana:

I gave the skyline a bit of a wash n decided to take some new photos with the differnt wheels on the weekend so here they are :)

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
