Finally I got something worth posting in this section.Today I installed my cat-back, BOV and smoked fender indicators, sounds nice now! Tomorrow the center dash comes out and I'm gonna make up a single din plate to mount up the 52mm gauges i got and maybe a switch panel to go in the ashtray nice and stealth like. Lovin the satisfaction you get from DIY

Well not so much something I did, but some little punk ass vandal bitch threw a rock at my car last night and smashed the right fog light. NOT HAPPY!!! :domokun:

Too dark to catch him, and I didn't realise that it was actually smashed until I got to my gfs place. Bulb is intact, just need the glass. Betting replacing it will cost enough to give me the irrits, but not enough to put through insurance, unless the paint is marked in the light of day.

In happier news, going round to Brad's shortly to get my stereo stuff done. Should take my mind off the fog light...

Glenn, sounds like good stuff, did you get your Nistune sorted too?

You heading to Kadina next weekend Ruby?

Sure am! Most likely heading up Saturday evening (after a kids birthday party) for the sunday show. Stag is in it. :thumbsup: Its Ford country up there, so I'm thinking of sticking some Ford badges on it :laugh:

The one I was looking at ended up not being compatable on account mine isn't a rs4, so the nistune will have to wait till I got the coin for the chip + tune.

Luckily I got plenty of other bits and pieces I can mess around with in the meantime. Didnt get anything done today, we'll see if I get round to it tomorrow

Brad and I (well, mostly Brad :whistling: ) got the new head unit, HDTV tuner and English conversion installed.

Immaculate job, comes up looking almost factory with the head unit screen folded in. English translation unleashes some extra goodies too.

Couple of annoying quirks with the Clarion head unit, it doesn't allow AV IN while connected to the iPod (needs the USB cord disconnected) and we couldn't get around the video block. Should be able to sort the second one out in time.

Huge job, but everything went back perfectly and I'm very happy with the result. Thanks Brad!

nice work but does the blue tooth connection quality drop from cable??

always wondered!

ohh damn, i bet mine will do that too! might mean BT streaming for me........... i dont like the idea of unplugging the USB cable all the time as i want it plugged in permanantly and the video lead to the TV tuner AV input.

Aaron, quality didnt appear to change. but i couldnt get it up very lound due to neighbours. BT has enough bandwidth for a 128k/sec music stream AFAIK.

ouch thats a lot of coin. could put a car PC in for that price and do even more

Yeah I know...but I don't wanna deal with the windoze crashing or BSODing or some other shit that comes along with PC's...

Plus I get mates rate for this stuff anyway...

LOL...lucky you.

I'm sure BSOD's are always a layer 8 issue..never Redmond's fault right? :whistling:

Mostly, yes :P

Its like if you put Mazda 121 brakes on your Stagea, is it Nissans fault if you cant stop?

Don't get me wrong, I love Win7, I run it on my HTPC and users have nothing but good thing to say after we've rolled out 500 new Dell's with Win7 on them.

I just can't be stuffed having to deal with a BSOD if, say, I developed a bad sector on the HDD where the MBR sits. Yes, running a SSD will minimise shit like that from happening...but I deal with enough of that crap daily. The Stag's my place of "zen"!!

I know a carputer is more flexible and whatnot but by the time I get all the parts the price is pretty close to what I can get one of these Alpine HU's anyway...

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
