I've had my 33 for about 18 months now and have read everybodys posts (with envy) when they have bought their mods etc.. Now its my turn.

I had a Nismo cluster and centre gauges put in last week. I ordered a Power FC through Japanese Import Parts which should be hear soon and ordered a set of Volk TE37's from Dave which will take a bit longer but well worth the wait.

I may even get some cam gears installed depending on finances.

Waiting is a pain in the arse.

Yes, I like to think that James.

What it means is the distance from the inside of the wheel where it touches the hub to the inside of the rim at it's furthest point (I'm pretty sure). You'll notice the difference between mine and Andrews. His look a lot more deep where as mine dont as the offset is a higher value. It's so they dont hit the calipers and fit under the wheel arch correctly. If you used the same ofset on a GTT as a GTR they'd hang out the arch's.

Alan,

Where did you pick up the nismo dash from? not that it matters now but I can get pretty good price on them new now..

Also, can I suggest if your going to get cam gears, do it before you tune the pfc.. otherwise you'll keep spending money on tunes everytime you put something on which can become costly.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
