put in red LEDs to the climate control, cig and key light. dash is next......

also put in nismo clear side indicators. ordered sunday night, arrived today! thanks CJMotors!!

where did you get the led's from? i need to do mine

did they come in/with the holders?

You have a 2wd or are you getting the crownwheel and pinion changed over?

Have a s2 RS4V, kept the stag housing with existing crownwheel and pinion, put shimmed up LSD centre out of my 32 in to the stagea housing. Had to use the 32gtst half shafts and transfer the ABS rings over from the old shafts. The flanges on the 32gtst half shafts bolted up to the stag axles fine.

Also fitted a 33gtr front swaybar, couldn't fit the rear one as it didn't come with rubbers and there was no way the stockers would fit

Haven't given it a good drive yet as had a boot full of crap on the way home, does feel like it turns in a lot nicer and has less roll. Can also feel the diff doing its' thing, need to finish reinstalling everything on to the carpc and get it back in the car so I can turn VCT on.. it doesn't even contemplate trying to turn the tyres without VCT

**hopes it rains on the way to work tomorrow**

P.S. cheers to chuckie for his help!

got them from 666DAN.

i have also done the 3 DIN gauges.

unfortunately the LEDs he gave me for the climate control buttons dont fit - they're too tall and foul on the circuit board so i had to leave those stock. tried filing the LED's down but couldnt get them low enough without risking exposing the element. bit annoyed because i did actaully send him the thread that explained this problem.....but he said they'd fit and sold them to me anyway. anyway only a few bucks. also had to custom fit the LED for the key surround as it's a whack one that i'd say you can only get from nissan - part of a huge housing etc - had to drill it out and solder in a t5 LED.

anyway, onwards and upwards!

also managed to manipulate the wiring on my alarm siren so that it actually scares people rather than sounding like an ailing bird.

Are they 19x10 all round? Whats the offset?

10" fit in the rear pretty easy pending the offset, 9.5" +35 are perfect on the front. Im sure with a bit of a flair and tyre stretch you can comfortably fit 10" up front depending on your offset

Bah the boxes said 19x10 but the rims are actually stamped 9.5 phew looks like it should be good for 235's

but no centrecaps

also.. anyone with a GT2 HDI intercooler what size slim line fan did you require for the condenser ?

I had Chris Rogers install double din JVC DVD player with bluetooth and i pod adaptors.Brilliant!!! Chris also fitted cruise control which i tried out between Aspley and Caloundra.Perfect!!!

Highly reccommend Chris Rogers for all work such as this.

the more stretch, the less protection for the lip

i'd be going 255 at least

I reckon 235 is probably a bit too much of a stretch, 245 at least...

Spal thermo's are quite thin, but I'm sure one of the guys who've fitted the kit will chime in with the best option.

P.S. Hurry uuup, I want to see pics!

More like 255, 265 - you only need 8in rims for 235.

So, yeah like I said; at least.

Some people go for that extreme stretch, personally, I don't like it. I'm running 245's on an 8" rim, but I ran 245's on my last set of 9" rims and they sat just proud of the rim edge, so on a 9.5" they would've been level, which is why I said that.

Also, after seeing Bbenny's 19x 8.5" Enkeis, with 225's (which I would've though were too narrow) looking spot on, an inch wider with another 20mm of tyre, would be about right. Just one man's opinion.

Anyhoo, back to the show.

I am pretty sure this is the same fan that I have on my car with the HDI kit.

Tested 2WD + LSD in the wet this morning.. definitely lights both wheels

It's pretty tight, can feel it carrying on like the 2-way in the skyline does but not as harsh.

The tight LSD + bigger front swaybar has given a bit of mid corner push but it's very predictable and turn in is much nicer! I'm thinking once the bigger rear swaybar goes on it should remove most of that mid corner push and make it a smidge more tail happy

Overall, very, very happy with the budget mods.. $50 swaybar, $220 diff ($20 for shims, $200 for my diff guy to set it up)

[Big Fella]

235's will be fine. i'm running 235's on my 18x10s, they aren't really that stretched, and the lip protector still hangs out a little bit.

im thinking so scotty and so says the tyre shop.. weve come up with a formula 245 all round and rolled gaurds (gotta be 93PS to keep em legal)- dunlop sports max's

for roughly $430 each which aint too bad for 19's

The kyb's go on next week and then its straight off the rollin gaurds shop then the tyre shop.

What are the offsets PetroDola?

Are they rolling or flaring the guards? The fronts are already "rolled" from the factory, the rears can be rolled.

Is yours a RS? let me know the offset and I can work out exactly how far out from the factory guards they will sit, or if they will foul the front control arm.
