thanks! and no to the wheels, I have some 18.9.5 +15 Enkei NT03s made in a limited run for GTRs only to throw on here.. I photoshopped a picture with them on it and "lowered the car to more around what it will look like when finished. let's seeee......

^it's just making my decision harder!!! aghghghghgh! haha.

We got back to work today on the car. In 5 hours this is how far we got on the door.

and how every Subaru engine deserves to spend it's life.

also removed a bunch of stuff today like all the sound deadener on the driver's side, the rear panel on the drivers side(total 8 pounds), and the radio and speakers are out(8.8 pounds). So far I have removed 151.2 pounds/68.7 kilos.

question.. does anyone know if R34 exhausts are interchangeable with R33 exhausts. when I look at the two in pictures side by side, the bends seem to all be the same. If they did, then there are some awesome exhaust choices I have to make.

yeah i was giving you info on the 33/34 exhaust, but then realised i was thinking of the gtst, not gtr. so i removed it. lol

btw, the car looks great. i dont think you can ruin it no matter which wheels you choose. as long as they fit right :)

looks killer, Congrats to your girl and your self!

I think the wheels need to be these! nismo_lmgt4blacklimited.png

agreed!

also with regards to the exhaust, i can confirm that 34gtr exhausts are in fact slightly longer than the gtt's but sorry i dont have info on interchangability between 33's and 34's

This looks awesome mate, your GF is gifted indeed.

My only concern is that with all this hard work, you haven't sanded the original clear coat before applying the art work so when you end up spraying the clear over it, it will start to flake and peel in no time.

to be honest I don't expect it to last for an incredibly long time. When the time comes, I'll repaint it to Midnight Purple like I was originally planning!

Also, thanks guys for the infor on the R34 to R33 GTR exhaust info!

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • 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.
