Looking good! So what offsets work on the 8 in rims? Different front and rear?

The width is actually 8.5", and the offset is 45. they sit nicely just a smidge behind the guards. The 235/30 tyres are a bit too slim for my liking, so probably will swap to 235/35 down the track. 

Connected my phone to the factory Bluetooth.  Phone controls on the wheel work too. Noticed the voice recognition understands English but you need to know the names of the menus.......  Anyone got more experience?

Installed MCA Street Performance Series coilovers, Driftworks front upper camber arms (approx. -6 deg in front and -5 deg in rear), Garson Deep Racing Ryugi wheels on the front in 18x11 -22 (have to re-lip the rears from 18x12.5 -22 to the same specs as the front before I can run them), painted brake callipers and installed a sub and amp. Nothing too major but its a start on my static VIP-inspired build.

Brake upgrade on the front completed, they're only little 8pots, 4pots to go on the rears once bracketry is sorted for diameter and offset. 

And finally able to get new rims fitted now that brakes are done and allow clearances

You need to up the boost to 10 psi

Will look much like this just tidied up. I have to clean up the clear lenses to go over the front to seal it. The light bar is custom from my company I had. They are about 4 times brighter than the stock high beam. The strip across the top is daytime running light and indicator in one. The halos are park lights so will come on with the auto headlights. The flashing lights in the sides are just for when the cars on show. 

It is very hard to recreate the mounting points for the stock HID as I have cut 2 of the 3 off to fit the light bar

Any link to where to get that day time running light? Looks like its made out of silicon?

Aliexpress

Had to cut holes into the panel to wrought the light. It's too long and to attach you need to buy double sided tape and I drilled holes through to use some wire to make sure it doesn't come off.

    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
    • Just wanted to unearth this and post my baby with the new front ❤️😝 Took her to my wedding rehearsal today. Next up is getting wide skirts (after wedding)
