certainly did - NEW ones. 4 figure sum for both but yes I can certainly buy them.

need to pin you down at some point to discuss this car of yours and the parts needed for it.

chris, i love you and this thread <3

plenty of stuff available for the car. it just takes time (and lately a lot of money :( ) keep watching. once I get a bit of money ahead I am going to do the interior.

had a bit of spare time today so I started on the Nismo 32 dash (v2)

V1 that I paid money for

the start of V2.

that is a 3mm piece of acrylic cut into the stock hole. keep watching.

quick hit with a dremel to get the basic shape. the hole was marked with the steel overlay that was on the LCD panel I am using. there is a small amount of error there so its not visible in the final version.

now with qbond holding it in place. it doesn't move. I actually broke it in the top corner (speedo side) so there is qbond on that at well.

just add bog. this is actually a finishing bog so its fine and quite easy to sand off.

first sand - this is hit with 400 wet/dry. light is horrible but it doesnt look that bad.

Once this is highfilled , 45 deg chamfer on the gauge holes ( they are stepped at the moment.)and painted black it will look like it belongs there. I called it a day at that point. will do some more on it when I get more time.

nah. all of it is external to the cluster. I am considering mimicing the odo reset button as a mode switch for the navi input. currently its on one of the radio buttons on top of the dash. there is a custom module for that.

hope to have this on a skewer in a few weeks so I can do a few more things to it and get it ready for panel work. lack of a proper shed for the last few months has hindered progress.

still working on it though. nismo 32 cluster is done.

yep it should. will be spending a bit more time in gympie now working on it. july should see more images of it being torn down and packed into boxes again.

harnesses - one sorted. still need to do the engine harness and put it back it std spec.

car is also fully stripped and on skewers - I am giving it a VERY good thinners bath.

ordered a few small parts for it yesterday. mainly inside trim stuff.

door panels (GTR) are approx $450 each. once the small trim stuff arrived I am going to order one panel.

I dunno if you get good prices at your local Nissan but have you tried getting parts from Nissan Japan?

With all the parts your buying you might be able to save a heap over time.

Well done tho.

only things I buy local are glass and BIG panels. the rest is done out of japan. (okinawa actually) . I buy a fair bit off them and get decent prices because of it.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
