What's with the bases of the two uprights? They don't look symmetrical at all, like the one on the right has a lot more 'bulge' at it's base. Could just be an illusion?

Correct....good spot...Excess filler around the base of the stem.....if you look carefully there is a huge gap between the two uprights (on both sides - basically around the light) as well that needs filling and sealing....issues that are currently being worked on.

Bit like cosmetic surgery really...I should name my wing Jacksons nose !!!....(RIP).

It was still work in progress at this stage....so just progress pictures really. Will put up completed pictures asap.

Not usually the type of person to say anything about a thread however I've made an exception for this one, :)

Your car is the best skyline ive ever seen, The way you've simplified many a mods (repainting certain things, the mesh, the pipes) is bloody spectacular.

You and your car have inspired me to clean my own up.... spend the money and get a panel beater/spray painter to get rid of a little rust and get some chips out before it gets shipped up north to darwin.

i cant get over how you have found the right mixture of stock and aftermarket to keep it looking clean.

Bloody spectacular!

Look forward to the write ups to come, awesome to read!

Bronson.

That's a big wing...

Yeah I know....I was positively pooping my pants driving back home.....border line now with what I want with the car........I want it to look awesome......but I want to keep it registered too.

Earlier....before getting the wing fitted......

That wing tall as fuark.

What are the effective offset and widths of your wheels? They look good.

Yeah I am not sure I am completely sold on it yet....but there are times I absolutely love it.

Rims have an original offset of 35.....fronts are now with a 15mm bolt on spacer.....rears have a 5mm slip on hub-centric spacer (soon to have a bolt on 15mm when I get a chance to flare the lip a tad).

Different view....

All the cats are scared of being killed obviously.....by curiosity !!

So I will spill the beans.....or cat food.........................

The package contained a carbon fibre drift lip spoiler. I have decided that the big wing is going to attract a lot of unwanted attention so I will reserve it for the odd outing now and then. Will be getting a bootlid off Bronno soon (thanks mate in advance) and will mount this new spoiler onto that and keep that as my daily option for a while.

Also lining up my next project - Ass :bunny:

Aim: To be wider and more aggressive.

Will involve: Running bolt on spacers and more camber and flaring of the rear arches.

I found that the car cover that I was using was leaving very fine scratches on the paintwork as it was blown about in the breeze so I decided to get mom to help me fabricate a flannel "inside" cover that would protect the paintwork. Took a fair bit of effort as we had to join numerous bits together to cover the whole car.

Big thank you to my mommy :yes:

Next step is to run elastic around the bottom edges and hem it up....

And also attach velcro straps that will go around the rims.

Started a headlight restoration project this morning....

20131223_191802_zps08667f8f.jpg

Before: Aging, foggy, scratched and yellow

20131224_100949_zps38d7e060.jpg

Other side headlight but you get the idea....

After: Fresh, clear, bright, no scratches and shiny

    • 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.
