Good to see your still working , love the speed of your progress. Hope that you planing on keeping it now with little bump in the road.

Love the NA grill, didn't occour to me that it would look better then the mesh. Not sure about the eyelids though.

Keep up the good work!

New seats - Take 2

IMG_2298.jpg"

So after my first pair of Drift Blade (R34 GT-R style) seats fell apart at a previous skidpan night. I got myself a refund and went on a hunt for another pair of seats. After weeks of searching I came across a supplier that made Bride “style” seats that didn’t break the bank.

I know what you’re thinking, “what a poser, buying fake parts blah blah blah” lets face it. We’re not made of money! Anyway, I was expecting the quality of my Frides (as I like to call them) to be on par with the Drift seats, but to my surprise they are far superior. All the bolts used on the seats are stainless steal, the material is durable and the seats feel solid.

The real test was whether the seat would hold up when I’m pushing the car to it’s limits. So far they have been great! One day when I have money to burn, I’ll have the real deal, but for now I am more than happy to rock these. Let’s just hope they last a while. If anyone is interested in getting hold on similar seats, feel free to contact me.

haha yeah mate ive seen that car around the micra forums looks good,

yeah mines just a runaround while i sell the skyline and buy a house,

did the seats come with rails to fit the stag?

The seats come with universal rails, so you can either weld mounting plates for the rails, or buy a universal set suited to a specific car (like autotechnica) and modify the mounting points for the seats.

Oh yeah,

Driving sports have a skid pan on Monday from 9-5!

Should be good, I've never been to a day time event before believe it or not.

Only wet pan though which is lame, but it'll still be fun.

Ready for Sunday, Adam?

What's on Sunday?

I've put the car up for sale, but I'm pretty sure it won't be going anywhere. The market is slow for these kinda cars huh.

Had some fun on the skid pan yesterday, car had no issues at all as usual. Boy, a full day really takes it out of you though!

After not even three months of having it??!!

Not to mention the time and coin you've spent on her?pinch.gif

I've had it for a little over four.

I don't see it going anywhere, anytime soon though.

There are that many cars for sale at the moment, many at stupidly low prices, and none of them are budging.

Call me selfish, but im hoping yours doesnt sell so I can continue to follow this thread :thumbsup:

Looks chunky

I rike this photo, needs some sort of front lip though. More low would be cool, but that's not possible on the BC's by the looks of it (for the front anyway), I know, amazing right?!

    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.

    • sensible choice....and all 32s should be in yellow
    • Run it in open loop for now, and drop the frequency down. This lowers the resolution and requires more duty cycle to do anything, however good to troubleshoot.
    • According to Josh, one of our local Americans, it seems the USA still can't get turbo systems quite right at a lot of places, so possible that they're not running great at all, but they've just not complained as NFI about getting it right...
