buying used wheels is all about having cold hard cash on hand and being in the right place at the right time, which takes patience.

put an offer on the importmonster wheels, if they come back with a no, move on.

there's these... 19X10.5 +21 which would be sweet as

and these:

18x10 +12 Gram Lights 57F-PRO

no price on those, just bid as much as you can afford minus shipping costs.

Ah yeah, true that and the quiet ones would be the Oval shape mufflers yeah...

I keep remembering Juliette's exhaust on her R34 GTT and it's pretty much silent.

:P

I wouldn't go so far as to say silent, but very quiet inside the car and not too loud outside the car. At idle it'd almost be as quiet as stock behind the car. I removed the big resonator/second muffler in the middle of the exhaust due to issues with ground clearance and it made pretty much no difference.

It's a full 3" stainless steel Fujitsubo turbo-back, but unsure on which model.

I remember when I bought my first 3" cat back for the 33....Me, Justin and James fitted it up at James' work, started the car and were instantly devastated...it was so quiet lol

Sold it to GTRGeoff not long after and bought a new one, much louder...

Then went de-cat at the same time as the rebuild/turbo upgrade...Hadn't driven the car for a few months....I remember picking it up at RE, left RE later that night....had the windows down and the stereo off.....was deafening and sounded insane (combination of new turbo/de-cat/ and not having driven it for so long)

After a while you get used to it, obviously it's still as loud, but didn't seem that way to me.

^^ I too remember when I put my BLITZ cat back on for Auto Salon and fuck it was loud!

I think it's a 3" or 3.5" with a 4.5" outlet pipe.

Just on idle it droned the hell out of me.

:P

Yeah well I am still yet to put my Veilside cat back on and it's a 3" with a 3.5" out pipe and is stainless steel.

I want to keep it quiet as possible.

But want to save for a new radiator 1st and Brembo Calipers are on the 'to do' list + I got suspension and wheel fitting / guard rolling to do on the Rolla...

*sigh* one thing at a time...

:)

anyone had any experience with the import monster yahoo japan thing? where you can search through there site and buy etc?

sure have, ive bought a r34 front lip and then bought 3 brand new defi gauges in a bundle which including shipping was still cheaper than buying 3 anywhere in australia. and i was more than happy, it was a very easy process. :P

how much AUD would it cost to import those GT-Cs i wonder? possibly might bid through that import monster it finishs in 5 hours

wow just checked the japan section of the site and the calculator there is awesome :P just gotta put some money in first haha

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
