The Evolution Of "night Fury"

In other news....

Going to spruce up the rims as best I can and then put all four on the car to narrow down what tyre specs I want to run.

Leaning towards 245s 40/45 18 (common size and therefore cheaper) - though I would like to run 255s.

Also debating what tyres to run.....tossing up between Ku31s, Sumitomo z111s and Toyo T1 sport

Don't forget to look at the Nitto Invo Pro; killer spec for the price.


Those rims will definitely be a slick addition.

Awesome choice of wheels Jez. Got a photo with them on? I reckon it will transform the look of your car totally and the dish will suit the black-on-black theme you've got going...

Thanks - I do :wub: them.....

Will post pics asap.

Black centres... whats the sizing?

OH MAN...Don't start that again :domokun:

(I can hear Jonno screaming "all black" and my brain screaming "gold with silver lip" and you going "black centres please - thanks" - noooooooo its in my head !!!)

18x9 +35

Cheers Dale...will check.

Any recommendations on where to pick up tyres from btw??

I pm'd Taleb Tyres on here but no reply yet.

Anyone bought anything from Ozzytyres?? - seemingly awesome pricing.

Amazing work! I'm glad to see someone else taking the one colour look so well.

(One day I'll make everything blue!)

Thanks man........plan to still keep the silver lip though even if I do powder coat the centres.

I like blue :geek:

Damn those rims look sexy as fark!

Love how this car has come along

Thanks mate :) There was a time when I was tempted to go with your setup (black on black looks killer too).

ITS MY BIRTHDAY !! :banana:

Went for a trial fit this morning to my local tyre place to finalize sizing etc.

As of now I am going to run 235/40R18 fronts and 255/35R18 rears

Will be ordering my new tyres soon.

Also, want the car looking the way I want it now so going to run 10 or 12 mm bolt on hubcentric spacers on the fronts to get the wheels looking a tad more agressive. (provided I find some - only found 15s so far) There is no way in hell I am running slip ons - say what you may!

Will not have to change the factory bolts as the rims have space for the protrusions (yay!!)....so might end up running spacers on the back as well. (P.S. I am aware of the legal stuff).

Stay tuned.

    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models? 
    • I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again 
    • Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!
    • curious to know what drivers you chose and the results? quik mafs, says two 6.5s should roughly equate somewhere between a single 8" or 10" driver. i agree that IB is definitely the way to go in most cars imo.
    • S13 and R32 rear suspension geometry is horrible once you lower it (which everyone does). The camber & toe out ramp is very aggressive, hence it's common for the S13 boys/girls to use a S14 or S15 subframe as the geometry is light years ahead. I'm sure the same can be done on R32s, but I don't know anyone that has done that.
