Looks sick! Now please lower it... just a cm lower will make a world of difference, especially to the front..

Beginning to accept the truth in that statement.......maybe I should surprise myself with some new Teins as an xmas present.

....because parking close to the kerb is overrated ;)

Update :)

Have always felt guilty for not having a GTR passenger seat and when I saw a great deal on bookface earlier this evening I could not resist picking up these bad boys......

Thank you to Jack :)

This is what the inside of the wheel adjuster thingie looks like btw for anyone struggling to remove it so that you can take the plastic trim off...on the previous seat it took me over half an hour to get a flat head screwdriver in there to wedge open the circlip !! Anyways...the plastic bits are going to be painted first thing tomorrow.

After a bit of internet research over the last few days, I decided to just YOLO (you only live once - I did not know what it meant either initially..hahaa) and this happened...........

P.S. If I end up with a black back and bum don't try this at home !!

Everyone knows what stock seats with factory material that looked good 18 odd years ago looks like nowadays.

So there is going to be no picture for that.....

(insert picture of faded GTR seat)

This is after the first light coat...

This is after I turned up the heat and went with another two coats....

Getting my black on....

It is bound to dry patchy for the first few coats...so I am not too worried...but hopefully after a few thousand coats it will be nice and even !!

P.S. It is drying up quite nicely actually as I type this and has begun to look pretty good YAY !!

NOW TO SEE IF IT RUNS WITH SWEAT !!

Also (since I forgot earlier) shout out to Joel for being an absolute gem of a mate and remembering that I wanted tinted indicators and selling me his. Beats my DIY tinted ones any day. Though in all fairness to myself I was trying to tint amber lens..haha. Pictures tomorrow !!

Picked up a spare set of these to have a little play with replacing the amber with a clear lens....will see how we go. Thanks to...umm...what was his name now...oh yes Anthony !! :)

The seat is looking real nice.....will do two more coats to seal in the colour and ensure it has a nice smooth finish

Really impressed with how easy it is to do and it turned out not as patchy as I thought it was going to be.....HOWEVER the decisive bit is going to be if the colour runs....which we shall soon find out

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.  
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
