jez NF Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/377489-the-evolution-of-night-fury/page/12/#findComment-6408502 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jez NF Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 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 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 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/377489-the-evolution-of-night-fury/page/12/#findComment-6410422 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuel Kasko Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Pretty much have the identical graph except for that I am running 20psi.

jez NF Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 Brake caliper painting day............................. Had to get the subwoofer and carpeting out to take out the jack... 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 Yo man (with a thick Jamaican accent)... Designer stud covers !! Patched up and ready Remembered to rub some vaseline on the NISSAN bit...hope it works 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/377489-the-evolution-of-night-fury/page/12/#findComment-6426399 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jez NF Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 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.

jez NF Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 ....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... Also cant wait to buy some bright red to do the lettering...hoping it will look something like this (HAHAHAAA) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/377489-the-evolution-of-night-fury/page/12/#findComment-6441128 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylow Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I read all 12 pages, and will continue reading and you progess. This car is freaking amazing, you've done so much work on it. Could you give an estimated price on what you've spent on the whole thing?

jez NF Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/377489-the-evolution-of-night-fury/page/12/#findComment-6443123 Share on other sites More sharing options...
