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

    • 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)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
