Aero front bar, some simple skirts on the side and rear would top it off. Looks good though, In a whale like way lol

The way you damage front bars; an Aero front bar is just going to end in tears.

Dale speaks wise. Well the car is going to be lifted in time to gain benefits from the engine upgrade and forced induction. So a aero bar may come later but right now its all muffler on deck

But what do I know, I drive an emo

Ok so havent updated in a while and some changes are happening to the stagline: First is a "new" VLSD out of a wrecked jap spec 350Z coupe $490 posted from japanese import spares to my door in newcastle, is going to be shimmed and replacing the 3.3 standard open diffs that sedans are graced with. Should be interesting to see how it goes. Has anyone here ever done it?

Also have a major exhaust leak at the moment. Hole roughly an inch wide and 5inches long. Solution is a midpipe from a V35 coupe. Same length but with a smaller muffler. Cant use 350Z as it is 6inches shorter. This with the straight pipes out the back will result in a nicer and deeper note (hopefully).

Also doing a general oil and filter change and transmission fluid change. Just a few things to get after that: M35 front reo bar, passenger weathershield, inner gaurds and under plastic and thats basically how its staying until july when it gets a new engine, box and other things too........

Had the car raised to goto panel beaters because some L plater hit it, not bad damage tho. So its 100mm ground clearance on R32 GTST stock wheels that just clear the brakes. Got the diff and coupe midpipe but its on hold until car gets fixed, then theyll be put in and it will be getting slammed yet again. Seat rails is what i wanna fix because tho the car is (was) slammed it still felt high and would love some super low rails, anywhere i can get some. Would like to keep factpry seats but not required.

Yeh bride super lows, but they won't fit the stock seat, you'll need something like euro 2's for comfort..

Speak to ARK design. They have good seats for cheap too with bride rails

And then compare pricing from this Ebayer http://stores.ebay.com.au/4x4-and-Performance-Online?_trksid=p4340.l2563

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
