The Evolution Of "night Fury"


Recommended Posts

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......

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 !!

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

    • Go to SP mufflers and get the muffler of size you want and make a nice mid muffler. It's about that simple! I have 2x 3.5 Magnaflow straight through Mufflers and while it's pretty loud with the Varex open, it's quiet enough with the Varex closed. You can also buy off the shelf Magnaflow straight through mufflers as well. You also have a turbo to quiet the car down too. Don't overthink it. Buy my extra Magnaflow muffler sitting on a shelf doing nothing (buy it new, ignore this part)
    • Centre-offset muffler under the floor, same as stock. Just....3.5". The change from straight pipe there to centre-offset will mean that you need to remake some of the pipe (add a bend or two).
    • Hey guys. So my R34 GTT has a custom 3.5” exhaust (done by previous owner) with a high flowing cat, and then just a Varex cannon muffler on the back. The car does drone alot and is really loud even on highway driving just cruising, as you can imagine due to the Varex muffler basically being a straight through with the valve open. As much as i love a loud RB, it can be a bit much with no other muffling in line and just driving casually. I wanted to lower the volume output on the exhaust a bit, as well as remove the drone (probably a way to do both at once), and was going to do it all myself as I am a fabricator and have done exhaust work in the past, so the fab work isnt my issue, im just not sure on the right product or type of product to use to get the job done, and i doubt an exhaust shop would be wanting to help me as they wont be making any money from helping me, unless they supplied the product? Anyway any help or guidance in best way to approach this would be awesome   Thanks in advance
    • Meh, whilst the Honda is a "really" good car and has potential if you want to drop coin on, it was uninspiring for me to look at, but, it did serve its purpose and is now in the boys hands, his happy, his girl is happy, as she wasn't to keen on the noisy old Patrol, and most importantly, the Minister for War and Finances is extremely happy that her "little baby boy" (6'2 nugget who is currently training to be a copper, which will make 3 coppers in the immediate "circle of trust") has a well sorted reliable car that doesn't guzzle diesel Me, I'm more than happy with the NC MX5 that I replaced it with, it's a fun little car that I like looking at, like driving, and yes..... I do like the fact that the maintenance and modifications that I have done/will do are plentiful and relatively cheap, well........ while staying naturally aspirated slow that is, and that's all I really need for a fun little daily, I can rev the 5hit out of it rowing through the gears and never really break the speed limit  In saying that wicked word, "modifications", I've already ordered something for some noise and an additional "3 ish" horse powers, or whatever it gives, in the form of a header, and, a new set of "cheapo" BC coilovers that are already sitting in the shed waiting to get put in, I had the same BC's in my old NB and found they were fine for the street, hwy, and the occasional track days I did in it, they have 6kg front and 4kg rear springs which is about 10% stiffer than the stock springs which I found worked well for their price  I've also already been in touch with MX5 Mania in Dural, so once the header is on it will get a ECUTek RaceROM tune there (I cannot rev match for 5hit, and I loved the RaceROM rev match and FFS in my old 86 "RIP") In other, maintenance news, I put some new sparkler plugs in it, and have a new set of DBA Street series pads to put in over the next day or so, I'm running the DBA street series in the SS and Honda and really like them, they work great and are not dusty at all I've also booked in a few days leave over this weekend to give me 4 days weekend do some paint correction and give the leather seats some conditioning and interior some Bissell and steam cleaning OCD lovin', the carpet and interior looks clean, but from my experience with the Bissell IRT carpet, and the steam cleaner IRT trim, looks can be deceiving I've also found that finding a detachable hard top is proving problematic, the main reason why I didn't like the NC initially was the power retractable hard top that I seen them with gave the roof line a weird look, the detachable roof though looks good, and is a same shape as a NA/NB hard top, similar, but unfortunately not the same as it has different fixture point on the front, so fitting a easy to get NA/NB detachable hard top is no bueno New Old cars are fun, cleaning, hunting and playing around brings much joy How are your beasties going? Do you still have the Skyline with the LS???, or Barra??? that you were playing with
