then the normal mods followed hks dump and front pipe, full titanium cat back, bilstein adjustable shocks and cusco springs all round.

Then a new front lip

Just after fitting this on the way to work i hit a roo. It put an end to the lip bumper, bonnet and grill. So i decided after looking for bits for sale i found a full gtr n1 front end for sale. All the work was done by all type crash in Adelaide to get everything right. however it did not come with a genuine front bar instead a huge after market one that did not look to good. I found the headlights on ebay.

So the enkeis that i had only just purchased were far to small to fill the new front gaurds

so i was on the hunt for new wheels again.

whilst visiting some local importers i purchased a power fc and gtr wing.

i found a new Trust bar for sale yes i know it a fibreglass copy but it looked better then what was on there and fitted the gtr wing

The new wheels arrived 5zigen gn race pros however 17x9.5 +17 whilst fitting fine on the front were 6cms out on the back with my choice of tire being a 255 40 17 r888

with some work and help from my old man we managed to get the 6cms out of the gaurds whilst still retaining the flat lip on the edge

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly.
