what mags r those - look good

Cheers Grimi. The rims are Advanti Stage in a 17"x9".

I got them from option1garage in brisbane about 3-4 year ago now. They ordered me the right offset and centres are machined which i haven't seen before.

-oliveR that looks really nice man, good fitment, but what was the reason for different profiles and width if you don't mind sharing? RWD I'm guessing also?

The GTR they came off is AWD so Nissan will have figured out the right width and profile to make bigger rears than fronts work with the Attessa.

Front rotors - DBA2314S

Rear rotors - DBA2315S

Front pads - D1060-1EA01

Rear pads - D4060-1EA01

Rotors purchased through GSL/Brakes Direct and pads from the US (conversion inc shipping was cheaper than the shelf price in Japan oddly)

Dunno why the interest in pics, but here you go Josh.

A pic of a dirty wheel in a poorly lit garage :P

Thought you may have a side by side comparison to the oem brakes

MultiQoute didn't work...sorry my questions is addressing to oliveR.

:wacko: I couldn't even get "quote" to work never mind multiquote - had to change from IE to Google Chrome

Nah, the T2's are quite nice and I won't be going back to OEM, that's for sure.

Pads are quiet, bitey and are seemingly dust-free (so far).

People still use IE, Bob??? That right there could be just the start of your issues...

:D

I found and fixed the melted vacuum hose that was giving me unlimited boost.

I'm in 2 minds about the change....there was a certain fun to running ???kw@30psi instead of 260@18psi. It sure went wooooosh.

Put this badboy in, 10 years not knowing what the turbo is doing, now i know

Goes way higher than I thought it would, sometimes upto 12-13

no mods to up the boost, just highflow turbo from hypergear, fmic, 3" all the way thru.

R35 GTR seats going in today / tomorrow (will provide as much info as i can about the process)

Also getting the Aero front bar fitted this week.

Next i'll be moving onto making a decision re: what wheels i'd like to see on the wagon.

I'm very partial to SSR SP1 / Work Meister's with my only real concern being a daily driver which i park on occasion at my local train station is theift / damage. I might see if i can find something in that similar style which can be eaily replaced incase of damage but i have a feeling i'll just end up with the real mccoy. Would love a set of polished lip / white spoke SSR's. /drool

Thanks Jez - Might hit them up for some options.

Got it back on the road. :wub:

There was nothing wrong with it, our shed had started leaking so I had to store some stuff in it as the house was already full of junk. So it held a 12in sliding compound mitre saw and stand, medium-sized tool box, cardboard box full of hand tools, 18v drill, angle grinder, jigsaw, socket sets, assorted boxes of fixings like nails and metal straps (I'm building a deck, 2 sheds, a greenhouse, a fence and a pergola at the mo), a pile of random polystyrene blocks, A CUDDLY TOOOOOY!!...a whole stack of flattened cardboard boxes, a tensioner assembly and serpentine belt for the Commodore, a lawn chair, a pile of magazines (official journal of the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants - riveting read, assorted volumes, offers), a pile of newspapers, a hedge trimmer attachment for a weed eater and various plastic bags of crap I cbf looking at.

And now it's back on the school run. :(

Just picked up the M35 and first impressions...

Seating height is much better imo which was the main inspiration for the seat swap. I'll get a few pics once the sun comes out.

The aero front bar is also awesome however one of the driving lights needs a new globe :(

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
