Either way must be series 3, projectors, autospoiler.

:( I don't know why I'd let a bloke who used to live next door to me and a ex owner of black over grey HR31 talked me out of buying one when I had the chance.



It's amazing that Nissan invested so much time and money into both the development/features of these cars and also the advertising and then not selling them outside of the home market(Save for the handful of LHD arabic ones I've seen) What other car ha 10min commercials though?

do it yourself

its pretty easy

theres even howto's in the howto section on it

the paint costs about $40 tops and some shitty sandpaper

to do the writing differnt colour paint the calipers one colour with vasoline over the lettering

then when its dried and done, wipe the vas off and reverse to do the lettering

prob makes sense to do lettering your choice of colour first

then away you go with the calipers

and you can leave them on just tape up everything and use newspaper

i better not do it myself i know i'll screw something up i always do :/ don't wanna risk it might aswell pay a bit of cash and get em done professionally.

i don't care what their owners say the only reason people buy a boxter is because they can't afford a 911. just a fact.

I did no such thing to your bonnet!

you're birds not bird :glare:

Roast ya did he? Lol agree they look pretty shit

no he was just being a hoon :closedeyes:

lol you seen the topgear episode about it? Faster than the M3 around the track (i think)

I mentioned couple pages back that i want one lol

yeah seen it dunno looks like a shrunken/melted m3 lol

I changed the oil in the S15 yesterday, the filter came right off. Though damn it was hot for a long time, tinny little filter that it is. Z445.

Put 4100 10w40 in it. Didn't smell like it was burning. Though I wanted to put XMAX 10w40 in it, but couldn't find it at the local autobarnz.

yeah it is a big difference, i started my loan at 9.2 i think

and thanks

i found with nab when the rate drops, your repayments are the same unless you call up and get the repayments recalulated

otherwise they wait a year and send you an updated schedule, but when the rates up go, they notify you within 30 days

its their way of doing you a "favour" by letting you repay more

    • New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.
    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.
