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 :wub:

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

P.S. cheers to chuckie for his help!

nice rims.. want to see pic soon plus this will give me a good indication of how wide i can go on mine!!

P.S you have trained your wife well.. im yet to aquire the brainwashing skills :):wub:

whats the bet the tyres and camber settings cost more than the rims.. lol :)

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.

Nothing a 5lb mallet wont fix. :)

You may have to roll the guards a bit...

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 :happy:

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) ;)

the more stretch, the less protection for the lip

i'd be going 255 at least

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.

Nothing a 5lb mallet wont fix. :mad:

You may have to roll the guards a 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. :ninja:

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.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
