JDM stands for Japanese Domestic Market. Given its a Japanese car, I'm gonna say its JDM already!

Other then that, plenty of carbon fibre, some BRIDE seats with full BRIDE interior trim, stretched tires, epic fitment wheels, your well on your way!

Well this is what I have in mind:

Nismo Gear Shifter (Dildo style silver :thumbsup:)

Exhaust/Extractors (Not a cannon tho)

Black Window Tint

Rims

Body Kit (400r or V1 Aero Style)

Cold Air Induction

Bucket seat's/Harnesses But Need Wide Bucket Seats Cause Im a fat bastard

Nismo Smoked Side Indicators

Xenon Head-Light Conversion

White L.E.D Globes Replacing Dash Dials (but i dont want to do it myself, i did it on my previous car and didnt like pulling the cluster apart, it changed the dials)

Thats about it...

But i need part names and brands etc cause i have no idea etc. My car is a white series 2 R33 GTS

is this thread for real??? like seriously am i entering a troll thread?

guys?

help me out here?

are you actually from hiroshima?

im scared.

okay. you dont understand offset, ill try explain. imagine a wheel, there's two parts to the wheel. the "face" and the "rim" (barrel)

say the rim of that wheel is 8 inches wide. the centre of that width is considered a zero offset. meaning it's mounting face offset neither negative nor positive.

if the mounting face moves "inward" it is a negative offset. positive if the mounting face is toward the outer of the rim.

soooooooo a 8in +35 offset, means, the mounting of the face is 4inches into the wheel. but 35mm toward the outer of the wheel.

as for your dumbass "im only 4 stud" arguement. SHUT UP. you want rims? i'll get you rims if you're in australia.

with tyres

about 1600/1700 deliv. to victoria

its very easy to get your car looking "JDM"

your car IS jdm. i don't get you, man...

where are you located? want some rear coilovers? PM me.

EDIT: i'm 4stud. proud of it, too!

Juz, I'm running 18x9 with +26 offset. A bigger offset would mean that the wheel sits further inside the car; as it is, running 255/35/18's, I have the possibility of scrubbage on a big dip, so +36 would be better as the tyre sits more under the car, and away from the lip.

I suggest GTR skirts and rear pods, cause they're sleek and subtle, and as for front bar, nothing too ostentatious. I originally had the GTR bar, but now running Top Secret... You know how it looks :thumbsup:

Bronze would be good... I'd stick with 5 or 6 spoke, I do quite like the RSGT's from Ozzy Tyres though...

In the middle there. I rang a bit ago for someone I know; for a set of 18's, they're after $1800 or so including (shitty) tyres. To do that, you'd need to do the stud conversion from 4 to 5 stud.

A few of those other things on your list I've got; if you want I'll take some photos on the weekend and shoot them your way.

Edit::

Shhhh, Eps. Shhhh *pats* He's a youngin, so he's still learning :ph34r:

I reckon...

- For wheels look at wheels by XXR, Axis eg. XXR 002.. 4 stud, come in good offset, are wide etc.. make for a tough stance and are pretty cheap and come in good colours eg Black/Silver Lip.

- If you have the stock bodykit on your S2, leave it... nothing is more stupid then a over done bodykit on a non turbo skyline eg 400r / GTR/ whatever, it looks ricey.

- Clear Side / Front Indicators.

- Lowered.

- Extractors + 2.5" Exhaust, Oval Muffler Rear.

- Cheap Metal Intake pipe + fully sealed airbox + 3a pod filter OR just have a high flow panel in stock box not much dif.

- Drift Lip spoiler.

- Black/White Colour scheme of things.

- Debadge.

haha no i just don't get it cos the thread starter has been around for a while he's made some GREAT posts i serioulsy thought he was joking!!!

i say don't do body mods. it's a waste of time on a GTS (no offence) same with engine mods. maybe get a NEAT chrome exhaust tip to freshen it up. MAYBE get a black boot lip. nothing else. you're never going to make a GTS go fast, so don't waste your time! (sorry!)

get SWEET coilovers. lower your stance. get wheels. these are things that will ADD value to the car really.. (or at least stop depreciation!)

as for bobjane / ozzy / drifteks / tempe. XXR / SPORTMAX / chinese shit PLEASE STOP THE COPY. get genuine wheels. or you'll be buying another set in a few months time (that's my opinion) japanese companies spend millions of yen and time developing and designing their own wheels which are quality, and rare. every time a cast iron chinese rim gets bought over the counter - it's extra stress on the industry who INVENT and create. Ueno's business (Vertex) suffers terribly because of these people and he designed the parts and manufactured them in the shop that he opened!!! so please.... don't go copy rims.

get the special ones :nyaanyaa:

CPD

onto you - why do you want new headlights? have you tried a re-condition? if you REALLY need new headlights (as in you've tried everything to get them looking nice there's a REALLY nice pair i can show you... i'll PM you the link

actually - i'll just post it here in case you aren't good with computers :)

    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
