Looks amazing, Mike. You've done an excellent job with detailing it, it looks super-clean!

The pearl white looks like it has a grey mixed into it, but I'm guessing that's due to the reflections from the surroundings, right?

to be honest, it was just a quick job at big bucket to wash it on the way there and some tyre shine at the event (we were late entries, handed in the forms on the day)

i put the glossiness down to the fresh(ish) paint, was resprayed in z-tune silver in japan

I was around mostly in the arvos on both days. I almost came in with my tools and jack to take your rims! :)

Nothing fancy under the bonnet atm. Put stock air box back in ... but I am going to get AM Performance to do some piping for me, as I want to put the Neo cover back on. I'll also be getting some chroming done under there too :D Just a matter of $$$

I've got my forms for Extreme, but not lodged yet. Tinkering with the idea of entering my Brutale or Stagea ... or both! I hope to have a respray on the Stagea by then. Mate of mine is loaning me his booth and equipment.

You coming to this cruise on sunday?

Both cars look awesome. Good to see some stageas representing. See you got your turn signal door mirrors Mike. One of these days i hope to see a GTR front conversion at one of these Autosalons. Daniel (260rsstagea) was entered at the Perth show, clean car and killer stereo install.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
