Yeah i feel the black head lining is a little too much. Would be different if i had black piller panels etc.

The upholstery and new liner will be done professionally. Not sure on cost for seats but got quoted 180 for the roof installed so thats a pretty good price. Essentially the interior will be black and beige/tan with burnt orange seats and silver highlights (door handle trims and gear stick surround).

The outside i am planning on doing a matt dark blue wrap with matt or gloss black wheels. Ill try and find a picture of the wrap for reference.

After putting up with a low idle for a week , yesterday took out throttle body to wash out with carb cleaner, gave it a good clean - hooray problem sorted.

Went for a good long drive last night to give it a good squirt, blew the passenger globe ! WTF its 6 months old.

Picked up a HID kid at 11, dismembered the front end and took the lights out. All complete by 13:30

While putting it all back together there is a whiff of coolant found that rad is weeping just near the cap :rant: . so now new rad time as soon as I order and it arrives.

Fitted up a fire extinguisher today. Curse you Mighty Car Mods and your evil sidekick, Supercrap Auto!

Nice removable factory bracket on the non electric passenger seat so the extinguisher moves with the seat.

yet to do in the near future
exhaust modification
dump pipe
intercooler
intake
bc racing suspension
and new wheels


made as soon as the financial situation to give up :angry:

No big deal Josh.

You can get the 29mm recirc adapter and adapter plate from Nengun.

I used a Subaru adapter plate and just reamed the holes to realign them.

Just counter sink the plate and use counter sunk adapter bolts and take a nick off the side to clear the throttle body.

That's it.

It's well worth the install.

The valve travels so well, the intake recircs like it should.

No shudder, black smoke, dumping fuel.

Really smooth.

The Greddy is 40mm , Turbosmart 22mm, plus the Greddy FV is so adjustable with the two springs plus the wind in plunger.

By far the best thing I've done to this car so far.

I had a custom pipe welded up for $60, bought a couple of vac nipples to screw in and used a universal turbosmart kompact which had a 32mm base, easy peasy and asthetically good looking

Yes but to pay over 300 for one that doesn't bolt straight on against 189 for a turbosmart that does.....

adapter was easy to make an 8 mm aluminum sheet. but requires a little drilling, and grinding

the time it takes about an hour and the price of the adapter will be 2 €

Picked up a new driver seat today, happened upon it while checking out one of the local Up Garage locations...set me back a whole 20 usd

anyone happen to know the stock rail bolt size, I'm guessing 12mm but wanted to double check before I order a wrench, may just go ahead and pick up a ratchet set thoughHkC5bgbl.jpg

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
