You can all get stuffed. Last night after speaking with Paul I went home and had a hard look atht wheel pricing and figured I wont be hapy until i get them for mine. So once the rebuilt shocks are paid for its time for some 18x10 +35 & 18x9 +25s for my bus. As for you mob with your GTRs...jog on!

Oh ... I just went home and ordered a set of them - they are on their way to me as we speak ... you will no longer be a unique snowflake.

(just joking, getting TE's :unsure:)

So the engine bay is DONE! Nismo AFM's in, intake re-assembled, air box sticker charged and intake ducting cable tied down.

Also picked up some rebuilt stocky rear brakes in great nic

And pulled out my mad photoshop skills to confirm that in fact yes, as Anthony put it - black TE's will look tits. Particularly when filled with rotor and AP goodness. Borrowed an 18x10 rotor TE copy toying with the idea of grabbing them as a spare set for slicks but still a bit undecided - I don't think my guards are pumped quite enough.

I am chasing some stock front calipers + rotors + pads + lines if anyone knows of any - preferably in Melbourne. Just as a temporary solution, rotors can be at limit and pads almost gone, just no caliper / line leaks.

Bay looks sooooooooooooooo schmick man. Better than brand new!

Did you run new OEM Nissan front and rear window seal kit..........? Pics with no masking tape.....?

Black TE's will set it off!

FYI - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/414449-r32-gtr-intercooler-shroud/

Cheers man! Nah just an aftermarket seal front and rear - it's not perfect at the corners but the urethane seals everything up really well.

Tempting group by is tempting - interested in the OEM wing in carbon..... hmm

Picked up these 18x10.5+15 from Import Monster - off getting stripped and painted matte black for the 34 so 32 will have wheels in a week or so. They will definitely get the obligatory test fit on the 32 once they are ready of course for the stance shot before the sensible sized wheels go on.

Wheels back from being painted matte black, the 10.5's actually sit pretty nicely at this ride height. Will get the same treatment done for the 9.5's soon.

Dash chopped to accommodate the cage and gearstick refitted. Have started to fill up some fluids and check over lines etc.

Getting close mate....you must be on edge. Car looks dangerously good, keep photos coming!

Any chance you could post some photos up fo the new front and rear window seals...

Also, did you run new rear quarter windows?

Great build.

That looks awesome. You must be wrapped. Hope the rest goes well!

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
