sex on wheels is was I call it :wub:

you have convinced me to purchased some nimso lmgt4 as well for my car....only question is where can I get them from :wacko: ?

Please buy these then :) - I have my eye on them but I really should not be buying more wheels...

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

Also, did you run new rear quarter windows?

Will see what I can dig up.

Yep went with some new quarters - the stockpile of new parts I have been dragging around for the past few years are finally getting used.

Funny you say that....I was just looking at import monster :turned: I want them bleck though.

I also spotted these

I think they would look great and just need nismo stickers to suit (would fit them on my 17in advan AO48 semi's rather well)

It's the same seal front and back - sits down in and forms a channel. The urethane holding the window in is what really stops and channels the water down the pillars.

You can see here at the corners how it doesn't work - it's only cosmetic, and the other aftermarket seal options sit up over the whole thing. Going to try nicking it with a knife on the front and see if it sits ok, if ok I will do the back as well. You can see the urethane sitting behind. I would probably go the factory seal my time again - but this being a track car I will no doubt have the opportunity to change the windscreen soon enough!

I do have the same seal on my 34 and it works fine, the corner isn't as hard, but I also think it would help to bunch the seal up a bit around the corners so it wrinkes on the glass (as per my 34), but doesn't leave a gap.

Otherwise now you just need some big anodized calipers. :) Settling for R34 AP/Alcon combo?

The 34 setup makes the most sense seeing I have hats and caliper mounts to replicate - however given the v8's have changed rotor size I am having a think.

I stocked up on ex v8 rotors so I have 4 spare pairs. I guess I can always go new however but somewhat defeats the purpose.

I need to have a look at those special ones you have there again now I am ready to talk brakes, and work out what you want for them and weigh that in. Chat next week unless you come up to DECA.

Off to Racepace for a check over, fluids, start up then tuning.

Should be ready to go around lunch time tomorrow - looking forward to seeing it fire up to put it mildly.

Nice seeing it out in the light as well and not cooped up in a corner! Wheels have been swapped for the 9.5 wides - will get onto getting them re-painted in the next few weeks. Also need to get all the clips or whatever to put the side skirts back on.

What's that rattling noise though (valve train?)

Nah it's something around the belts - I have my suspicions I may have left one of the bolts for either the p/s pump or alternator belt tensioner loose.

But I left it with them ... I know it's a little annoying having customers hovering over you while trying to work something out.

I thought it was coming from the belts as well but obviously hard to pick up.

Yes, let the pros do their job :)

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
