thanks dude.

there 18x9.5 + 15 all around

they cost me 2600 but were all different color when i got them so had to get them painted which was another 800 then tyres at 1000

so around 4400 + the stickers lol they were 80 bux haha

i got them from a seller on the forums named eugene from jdm performance

how come you didnt go something wider on the rear? wouldve thought a 10" at least

they will do for the street.

i think that by having 9.5's up front they will deliver enuff grip. its a pitty that the ku's were dissapointingly not grippy at all.

looking at getting nitto nt55's from o/s later down the track.

fair enough, btw did you ever considering getting the te37 sl's instead considering they wouldve cost you about the same as your current rims and already have been gunmetal and a touch lighter too?

Finally some pics!! I've been watching this built up avidly, and it's good to see someone with a very similar mentallity to me when it comes to parts. Genuine or f**k off!! Nice work man, will continue to follow this til it's done.

You have too much money aye... Haha

here ya go dude,

ill wash it during the week and get some clean photos of it.

very very nice car julz, the wheels really set it off perfectly. Your front bar looks like a nismo GTR bar from those side shots? Any chance in spilling a bit of info on where you bought some of the parts from? (i.e. front, hood..)

thanks dude. it doesnt come with out its sacrifices bro. i moved back home and rented my house out so i would have enuff free money each month to buy parts and stuff.

thanks for the kind words, just need way more time to do stuff on it, working 7 days a week sucks :)

hay dude thanks

the front bar is a tommy kaira genuine item, it was on the car when i imported it. u can see more photos in the earlier posts of the front bar

bonnet i got from a SAU member its a top secret carbon bonnet

rims from forum supplier jdm performance (top bloke as well)

i bought heaps of carbon parts from my mate who runs psi parts but still many havnt been put on yet, but im getting there.

THEY WILL BE UP BY SUNDAY, IM GOING TO VUS (PANEL BEATER AND SPRAY PAINTER OF MY CAR) TO LINE UP MY BONNET CORRECTLY COZ THERE IS A GAP THAT I AM NOT HAPPY WITH I WILL 100% TAKE PHOTOS TOMORROW IVE ALREADY TAXED MY SISTERS DIGI CAMERA LOL.

ALSO TAKING A LIL NEW DIRECTION FOR THE CAR IN TERMS OF THE ENGINE. ILL GIVE U ALL DETAILS SOON WHEN THEY R FULLY WORKED OUT ON PAPER. IM TOO INDESISIVE SOMETIMES HAHA

WHAT!?

f**k me! you really know how to make a cliff hanger!

fair enough, btw did you ever considering getting the te37 sl's instead considering they wouldve cost you about the same as your current rims and already have been gunmetal and a touch lighter too?

hay dude sorry i missed ur post. the te37 sls are 4000 for a set then add tyres, + they r the wrong color, there gunmetal grey, my wheels are lamborghini satin black.

there only 200 or 300 grams lighter so to me that isnt really enuff to go out and buy them in terms or weight issues, my car has hardly any interior, and only 6x9's now + all the carbon stuff its a bit lighter than most r34's.

Nice build!

Any chance of more pics of the car & wheels in the day time? ;)

ill try dude, but im at work 7 days pretty much, on the odd ocasion i get a day off im running around getting shit done.

ive got a week end off though in a couple of weeks and plan on doing a few things to the car so they r on the way dude. cheers

couple more from saturday morning that a friend took whilst i was asleep at her house. its really dirty though so u cant see the pearl or the gold flake. i washed it on tuesday (it was sunny as in melbourne) and it was so sparkly in my driveway i couldnt look at it hahaha.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
