Now they're thinking...

I can get a pair off easily enough > but who do I know that can drill a hole to make an earring?

And that fellahs...

is what happens when your lovely Nismo items are so small and defenceless!

Ummm white spoke stickers? Again Chris, I'd PM elrodeo666 and Marcus will do his best - quickly!

...or eBay. But some stickers can be a fraction too big > need to be the right size if you can.

If you mean the Nismo wording on the LMGT4, I wouldnt bother with genuine stuff personally.

The last time I enquire about that, you'd need to get them from Rays and they're around 25 or 30 EACH + you need to provide prove of owning a set of LMGT4 (maybe invoice, photos?) before they will sell them to you. This was 2years ago though.

I end up getting the decals from Ebay. All you need to do is measure up the existing one you have and send the dimension to the seller that makes a Nismo decal. Less than 10bucks posted.

Thanks heaps for that!

Do you also know if Nismo sell the white stickers for the Balck LMGT4s?

I gotta say - don't bother getting the nismo wheel valve caps. I had mine on about a week before they were stolen.

I'd only thrown them on after I'd chucked them in on order from RHD with other stuff because they were so cheap - and thought they might set off the LMGT4 and nismo wheel nuts. Ah well.

I recently ordered 4 of these through Streeter, and there was none of this hassle. they cost around 20$ each.....fml but having said that i think i'll get Ebay ones next time!

mm cant help you much there, im pretty sure with the Rs they mount from the passenger side vent on the front bar under the indicator light, but you need the nismo front bar for the outlet just infront of the wheel behind where the cooler sits to actually allow air to flow through... if it doesnt work out on your i would be interested init... but im broke atm anyways haha

haha yeah i've looked up the pics on a GTR and it's slightly different as they seem to have a mounting bracket/bar, i swear this item was advertised for a GTT when i bought it (from Japan)! quite confused. Oh well, will have a look one weekend/when i install FMIC.

available for all models. expensive though for what they are - a cover

Edit: (I painted mine black a while ago and it looks 10x better than the OEM grey)

Now this has come out I'll give it thought.

Nismo power brace, to suit my 180sx. Nismo take the old stock units, box the sections and add a bar between the arms.idea is to stiffen the front up to prevent flex and make the susp work harder. Finish isn't crash hot, but since it's a under car bit, I'm not fussy. In fact I'm not fussy anyway lol! Basically acts as a strut brace for the lower suspension.

So are they pre-fabricated or do you have to send in your old units? Pretty cool piece either way.

You just buy them, no exchange needed. Guess they go round stealing them off old wrecks and old Oem stock!

Can't work out why one side of the bar is braced extra, but guess they know.

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
