sorry man but personally i liked the vs-kfs better still looks good though

chuck a set on ur car and go for a hard cruise and tell me how it handles

believe me when u get out u would hate them, buying 19's was the biggest mistake i ever made with my skyline. the best rims i reckon i had were the 17's that i put on it for a while 8f and 9 rear best handling out. these 18s arent far behind them though. they have better steering feel too

I prefer the TE-37's i'm sure once he puts better quality photos up it will show it in a better light =D

But as you said each to their own!

ill have better photos up as soon as i can. its hard to take photos of the wheels in different weather because the camera just wont make out the color properly, working on getting a digital slr and taking some nice shots after a clean and poilsh

ill take some pics some this week dude, sorry been hektically busy.

small update, i got my brakes finally delivered yesterday. 356mm front rotors with 8 piston calipers. getting them fitted this week as well. i bought a bride vios 3 from the traders section, ive put most of my interior and dash back in just waiting on the door trim which will be ready in a week or 2.

also bought a kaaz 1.5 way mechanical diff. get that fitted up soon. i got my licence back like 2 weeks ago so ive just been enjoying driving again too much to do any thing to it lol.

was at sabaddins this week and worked out whats happening with the head. getting alot of tomei gear into it. cams, gears, valve springs, lifters, retainers etc redline will be around 8.5k

turbo will be a t04z with split pulse and surge slotted front cover, running twin gates on a split pulse manifold etc. droping power down to a more reasonable 600hp lol

ill be taking the engine out in about 1 month in my garage at home and getting it ready for seam welding and welding all the holes in the engine bay up so it has a really clean look and all the gluey looking stuff around the strut tops removed and smoothed over, same in the boot.

shane from psi parts has some new carbon goodies sitting in his garage for me atm so i have to get over there and pick them up

completion date has been moved to around feb - march. i wouldnt be taking it out during summer anyways so i think that time is pretty sweet

Any reason for custom? I guess no one produces a twin gate manifold as a product... why not a Full-Race; the dollar is sweet!

im going custom because my friend is an amazing fabricator. he will make it for me based on a 6 boost manifold but with a proper twin scroll merge collector + the twin gate setup.

the full race ones are nice but i think that what we have come up with will be better....also i wanna support the aussie market not the o/s one.

only engine internal will be japanese. everything else will be local or custom.

i have a few local (aus) made parts

garret turbo

pwr radiator, cooler, and oil cooler.

exhaust is custom made by my mate here also.

More power to you mate (no pun intended); hope it works out... and post some photos dammit :P

cusco brake master cylinder stopper

they will all be here in like 4 weeks or so, so ill take the car out after that. also the bride seats put in and is fkn awesome, better then my ergo 2's that i had in there before, getting out is a bit of a flamin mongrel though lol

alrighty,

this project is not gonna be completed.

if u are interested in any parts from the car it is going to be taken back to completely standard/stock and all aftermarket parts will be sold off.

everything except for the 1200hp bottom end and hypertune plenum and tb will be listed for sale. as i need those 2 components for my next build.

thanks for following my build. my next one will be better and completed when my new car arrives, just doing the final paperwork atm.

cheers

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
