Well I am open to suggestions etc...this is still a "finding my feet" stage....BUT I dont like the stretched look....I prefer tyres that are nice and chunky....and tyres that run a sidewall right up to the edge of the rim..if you know what I mean....

So I want rims that run flush up to the guards...but do not stick out (must be fairly legal)....and tyres that are nice and chunky and do not rub....so yeah basically biggest rims that would allow for this ^^^^ is what I am after.

NOTHING BEFORE mid July though......birthday boy ;)

I havent clicked on this thread for a long time and my god I am glad I did!

The car looks amazing and is exactly the image I am aiming for with my 33.

But instead I am going matte black :rolleyes:

So it will be getting the re-trim and all that jaz.

Also around the same numbers we are both pulling.

Have you got a dyno graph we can see because that would be great

Thanks Daniel :thumbsup:

This is what the car is running at the moment.......we did pull 352.9 Hp (road) after running more timing etc..but its too dangerous with a stock head gasket and internals....and I dont really want to break anything for the sake of being a dyno queen and a few different digits..the power curve is nice and linear...and I like the way she comes on now...so yeah

Brake caliper painting day.............................

Had to get the subwoofer and carpeting out to take out the jack...

20120702_124125.jpg

Started with the back left.....(wheel nuts were bloody stubborn on the front - so will have to get a longer breaker bar or some WD40 tmrw)

Took off the wheel

Gave the brakes a good clean with brake and rotor cleaner

Covered and patched up everything

Before pics

Came up quite good I thought.....

Also before I forget...special thanks to Jonno for coming to help and for bringing tools...............your awesome man :)

It did...but I decided that the factory off white looks too boring...so once I finish all four I am going to hand paint the NISSAN bit on each a bright fluro red. Gloss black caliper and drum with bright red writing...should look nice I daresay.

Happy with and very proud of the right rear....much easier to do and a lot quicker now that I have "experience"........Have to start taking pics with my camera...phone pics are terrible :/ (but you get the idea)

Nice!! Was talking to m.j.h on the weekend about doing mine as he just did them black BUT seeing your pics makes it so much more appealing..... Thanks for sharing! :thumbsup:

:thanks: ....Yeah they look awesome now - cant believe I didn't do this earlier !!

Cannot wait to do the fronts...the back calipers are tiny compared to them so I am expecting the fronts to look a lot sexier... :bunny:

Also cant wait to buy some bright red to do the lettering...hoping it will look something like this (HAHAHAAA)

Spent about 40k (plus/minus) including buying it (14k)...but that is including EVERYTHING...I have an excel sheet where my latest entry for example is a $4.99 paintbrush that I am using to touch up the tiny spots right near the brake pads that I cant get to with the spray can.

Currently working on getting this laminated......

It will go on the inside of the fuel flap thingo under the Jap monster decal...(pics to come)

Also....rain expected for the next few days so the front calipers will be done mid next week....stay tuned :whistling:

While the wheel was off I decided to clean it...............................yep....great idea (not)

Presenting 16 years of brake dust and road grime....................

20120727_164738.jpg

Spent the best part of half and hour and they look a tad more presentable............still have a looooooooooong way to go :\

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
