I still have a set on my C34.

(Now with added rear spoiler)

Yep I think they are quite good looking wheels. I put a spoiler on my car too - the only bit of expenditure that doesn't make the car go faster - because I think it improves the look a lot. I would like to lose the roof rails but can't justify the cost atm.

Not done much to mine recently. But have just acquired a 12" long crack in the windscreen on the lower passenger side.. Then today taking my little boy swimming I parked on a hill (rear down to the left) with not much fuel, car started fine, reversed went up said hill out of the swim center and car cut out, with lack of fuel. Light didnt even flicker on the way up there, but was on nice and bright when I returned.. All the fuel must have moved away from the fuel pump and got me stranded on a hill.

Thinking my coils are on theyre way out also, cars just clocked 170,000km and getting some crazy hesitation under boost around the 3,500 rpm mark.. Going to pop the coils out tomorrow for a closer inspection..

One day I will get around to ordering some coilovers, bigger brakes and some tasty wheels, but for now itll be general maintenance and unwanted repairs :(

Won't do any harm to give the coils a good clean and maybe insulate them but have you had a new set of plugs lately? And gap them down to 0.8mm

Today I DROVE the Dayz. I am a happy man. Only took ten months!

Also found out that when you turn on the immobilizer, if the windows are down, they come up Another plus.

Did a couple of things over the weekend.

Got the tailgate and cargo floor struts re-gassed, $90 for all 4.

Always seemed to be the wife who would get whacked in the head by the tailgate!

Also did the brake cut mod, used a nice subtle missile switch.

what have I don't lately?? Well... had a little leaking issue in number 6. went to change plugs. 6 was seized, snapped the plug below the nut. FML . had pro threads come out who smashed the ceramic and blew it all out then heli coiled it. BUT he managed to get the ceramic from the plug into the exhaust. so when I started it blew through snapping 3 fins off my newly high flowed turbo. the little tail end of the spark plug hung around in the cylinder doing a little dance in on the piston and tickling the head! So now I have a gt3582 going on. the head is at the mech being cleaned up but when they where dismantling the head they cam across the intake cam`s snapped locator pin. so now I'm on the hunt for a standard RB25 neo intake cam! have you got one? na or turbo both the same!

these are from Z33. i've bought complete kit - fronts, rear, center console as it is on pics

here is rear one:

Looks awesome mate one up on me hoe do you find the hight of the seats? Wouldn't have thought the rears would fit but goid to know. Do they fold down like stock seats all the way?

Very impressive. I hope to replace my factory seats one day but wanted to keep a more luxury appeal.

.... and those wheels :wub:

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
