Never realised this thread existed, only saw one pic u had in the 34's thread. And i didn't realise u wrapped it in vinyl!!!!! thats crazy man! haha but i think it looks mean as. Funny tho at one stage i had the exact kit that u want to put on sitting in my garage doing nothing. But i sold it, just changed my mind and went for somethin more simple. I cant wait to see it all done complete with wheels etc. Even without the kit on and just a good suspension setup with wheels would do it for me.

Smoked indicators will suit much better than clear now that i think about it. Well done dude from photos it looks flawless, probably easier to see dents it seems, but i couldn't see any from pics!

Personally i would strip the weather shields off they look much more noticeable now. Wicked man :thumbsup:

Cheers dude, trying to work out a good offset atm as ive already found the wheels i want :) gloss black too.

Im considering wrapping the weather shields, will see how i feel, might go carbon vinyl wrap.

one word - sexy!

thanks dude :D

and here is an update, Nismo smoked front and side indicators, will take better pics when i have the chance.

Thanks guys

Have already considered the rims, just got a few other things taking up the $$ atm

definitely going black on black

Got the indicators from Perfect Run, great turn around time, and easy to deal with.

They were about $230-250ish delivered from Japan for both the front and sides

If you peel of that vinyl, would the paint go with it? or how easy isit to get it off if you get bored of it?

If you paint is in good condition then it shouldnt come off when removing the vinyl, that said, if you have stone chips or its peeling, then you can expect to remove some paint when peeling it off.

It is quite easy to remove if you want to revert back to the old color

Can anyone tell me the best way to remove and reattach the weather shields?

Just thought I'd tell you something.

If you happen to accidentally snap a weathershield, you can easily superglue it back together and use vinyl to wrap over it, and you wouldn't even see the crack.

Speaking from experience because my mate snapped his and I wrapped it and you can never tell it's been snapped before :D

That is really good to know lol, hopefully it wont come to that, but definitely noted lol

So putting a little attention towards the interior, :)

Also worth noting, the bootlid has been re-glassed, as long as it doesnt crack or have any issues in the next few days, itll be getting primed and paint hopefully during the week, and then wrapped maybe around sunday *fingers crossed*

might be getting a tad carried away...(nothing that hasn't been done before though)

Also re-wrapped the dodgy tail light that i had previously neglected to fix, not that you could tell from the photos lol

    • Hi everyone, I'm about to complete my first single turbo conversion on my R32 GTR and I thought I would post the step by steps that I will be following. I will list the parts I have / the parts I will be buying. I will be redoing this guide after I have completed the conversion. Parts list: - 3576 turbo 0.82 v-band (coolant and oil)  - v-band top mount turbo manifold - 50mm wastegate - manifold copper gasket - titanium manifold stud kit - turbosmart 3 port boost solenoid - link can lambda kit (wideband) - link ECU - radium 12AN push in valve cover fittings (pair) - hi octane catch can - 3.5inch downpipe - screamer pipe - pipe from turbo to intercooler - intake pipe setup - power steering relocation kit - oil drain block off plate - coolant and oil lines Now onto the step by step guide (please add / correct me if there's anything I missed: 1. remove fluids, twin turbo pipes, pod filters and afm's 2. remove the factory coolant hardlines from the hot side. 3. remove heat shields  4. remove the downpipe 5. remove turbos and manifolds 6. remove factory manifold studs 7. clean whatever mess you have made 8. install power steering relocation kit 9. install new manifold studs 10. install new turbo manifold with gasket 11. install new wastegate with screamer pipe 12. install new turbo  13. install new coolant and oil lines  14. install rear oil drain block off plate 15. stop and appreciate that you now have a single turbo in your GTR 16. wipe away tears of joy and install downpipe 17. install the wideband sensor into downpipe 18.install pipe to connect turbo to intercooler 19 .remove stock boost solenoid  20. install new boost solenoid 21.  install intake setup 22. setup the rest of the can lambda kit with the ecu  23. refill fluids and hope for the best 24. ask forums for help with issues 25. fix issues 26. drive your single turbo swapped r32 GTR into the sunset. Doneeeeeeeeeee. Now I know this isn't detailed at all but I will be doing that when the conversion is done. I will be posting pics and any helpful details i can and ill make sure to fit in as much information as I can. If there's anything I should know before i do this PLEASE let me know. Stay tuned for what's next. Thanks...
    • I have wasted too much time on this, more than I am willing to admit. I hope someone can set the record straight for me.  I want to replace my Nismo (non GT pro, non GT) standard 2 way in my R33 GTST with a 1.5 way... Ideally I want to get an ATS 1.5 way Carbon LSD, but I don't want to reuse my 29 spline 5x1 axle stubs, and new 30 spline 5x1's are impossible to get a hold of ($$$), and I don't want to drop the cash on going to 6x1 stubs and axles ATM. Which leads me to the Nismo GT Pro 38420-RSS15-B5 or RSS20, as they come with new axle stubs meant for the diff, and is "Convertible" from a 2 way or 1.5 way to "Other ways", but that is where I am stuck as the documentation is a bit all over the place.  To sum up what I have found I believe the all the Nismo GT Pro PN's are convertible from 2 way, 1.5 way, and 1 way; but Nismo sells 2 skus (2 & 1.5) so people do not have to disassemble to convert it.  I found this thread on 350z but it left the question unanswered. https://my350z.com/forum/engine-and-drivetrain/620032-nismo-gt-pro-lsd-1-5-vs-2-way-and-torque.html  Essentially the way I think it all works out is like follows...  2 way  1 way  and 1.5 way would be the center pinion shaft in the 1 way block, but with the with the center flipped 180*. So the ramped side of the pinion would face the 1 way gate and act like a ramp.    I can only get my hands on the 2 way in the states, and I am not trying to get stuffed on tariffs by ordering from Japan or anywhere else. I want to confirm that if I get the 2 way I can convert it to the 1.5.     
    • Hi everyone, I have purchased my first GTR and I want to do a single turbo conversion to it. I've been doing as much research as i can and there are a few things that I can find and need to know. I need to run a coolant feed, coolant return, oil feed and oil return for my turbo setup. Here's what I know so far: On the hot side of the rb26 there is coolant feed, oil feed and oil return. Coolant return will be going around the front of the engine to where the thermostat is located. I will need to block off the rear oil return port. I will be running a turbosmart boost solenoid so any of the factory boost stuff wont be needed. Now onto what I don't know: 1. What do I do with the coolant / vacuum hardlines that run around the back of the motor?. 2. What do I block off or loop or move or remove?. I will be running the OEM intake manifold. 3. Is there anything in particular I need to buy for the cold side of the rb26?. I already have the intercooler and pipes sorted. If you have any pictures or information it would be appreciated. Thanks....  
    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping.
