Requires modifying the brackets a little bit, that's all. I actually had a brand new set that I sold a few months back. They looked very sexy :)

Pretty flat out with all the changes in the shop but yeah going good.

No changes to middle grille at all? or wiring?

if it's that simple, I will definitely look into it. As much as I like my current headlights, proper Xenon S3's would work better.

Much like a certain Carbon spoiler blade sitting on a bed in townsville :ph34r:

also, good to hear about the shop being busy. hopefully things change and the rep actually gets picked up :)

Hey Phil

was searching through some old threads and saw you involved in a bonnet strut group buy. And then I thought I'd seen a photo of your car with bonnet struts

Was I paying attention or dreaming lol?

I want to get some for mine. Have a rough idea of what I need to do, just wondering if you found a good car to steal the struts off or if you bought a kit etc.

I can use the lower supports from a VN-VS commodore as far as I know, but Im gonna need 4 of these. If they dont fit on the bonnet mounts then I can do some fab work to make them fit

but anyway, just wanted to see if you had any pointers. And if you in fact dont have any on your car, then sorry for wasting your time with this post :P

Nah I don't have any. I was looking into it however the only way that I could see to do it was to drill new holes into the gaurds to mount the struts, which is something I didn't want to do.

Alright sweet. Yeah hit me up when u get the shockproof in. Are you getting light?

Yeah lightweight.

Can't edit my post for some reason....... so I'll make a new one.

went to a mates today who bought a bonnet strut kit for his 180sx, Link:

Ebay: 240sx Strut Kit

Looks like it'll fit a Skyline pretty easy, I've ordered one so will let you know if it does, if your still interested in bonnet struts

See how you go. I measured one up on the factory hole in the guard and it just wasn't going to work in that location, would have fouled on the bonnet as it was closing.

That's why they only make the Tein/Top Secret kits to suit a GTR bonnet - different hole location. Also due to our bonnets being so heavy I also think the factory bolt hole location wouldn't give enough strength to hold our bonnet up.

But let me know what you find.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By MBS206 · Posted

      With the system, once you drive it for a bit, and before you turn the car off, does the car fix its date and time? When you say the date is wrong, what date does the vehicle think it is, and does it always show the same date? My thoughts from a process driven view is; The system may be defaulting to a standard start date/time. The main reason you'd typically see this occuring, is the system is losing its constant/backup power supply.   If its always defaulting to the same date/time at start up, and especially if it fixes itself while driving, I'd say either the non volatile memory has an issue, or the power supply to the volatile memory that stores this information.   The other thing I'd check is if there is anywhere in the system you can adjust the date and time from. If the date/time is still moving forward since it wished you happy new year, then it is 100% possible the system has just had a bit of data corruption occur, and you likely need to find a way to reset the date/time in the vehicle.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Scissor Jacks are an accident waiting to happen, the only time they should be used are in an roadside flat, even then a tyre and rim should be placed underneath

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
