I don't think I've seen someone buy so many things before even having the car

A lot of nismo stuff I had for my other car. A lot of nismo things are universal. But I know what I like and I'm going to end up buying it anyways. Might as well get it and have it waiting. Hoping to have a productive day today.

Got more work done today.

Restored the intercooler

paint and polished end tanks

I also tried to install the steering boss and steering wheel. But the steering wheel ring is not drilled right or something. The holes don't line up. Also I don't have a way to plug in the horn I dont think. Maybe the boss is for a different model. I need to look up the part number, But I think it was for a kouki r32 and I have a zenki. Not sure whats going on. But I will probably just have the adapter ring custom made and drilled so it can secure it together.

cani ask how you cleaned/polished the bars in between the fins?

Correct, I just did the end tanks. I wasn't about to get all Mr. clean with hand polishing lol. That would be so damn tedious.

Another busy day today.

Also detailed the engine bay. The picture doesn't do justice. I am most impressed with this part.

it mounts in factory points. It cant be crooked. It only goes in one way, the same way it came out lol. Nismo is pretty spot on with everything. If you are talking about how the intercooler looks relative to the car, then yes they are not level to each other....that is how the intercoolers and mounting points are designed. Factory and aftermarket. It's all about the end tanks meeting up to factory hoses. Not to mention, they lean forward. Everyone always thinks intercoolers are verticle like a radiator lol. Just how the car is designed. Also, in the pics with no bumper, one side of the car is jacked up.

Put a titanium tomei straight pipe I had lying around on the car today. Opened it up a little bit. Which also gave me a chance to look at the underside.

are you getting a set of etched LMGT4s?

Nah, cant decide if I like them. Never really been a fan of nismo wheels. Maybe 18x10 +20 LMGT1. Although, I don't think the black would look bad on the gun metal color. I feel like I would need to add more black accents to the car if I had black wheels. Like carbon fiber lip, canards etc. I am waiting on tires for the Advan RG. I think those will be my wheel of choice for now. Always been my favorite one piece wheel. I will also probably get the panasports relipped and barreled to a proper size. I already have 8 sets of wheels lying around lol. Don't need anymore.

haha fair enough mate.

Colour is my issue. Nismo don't make the etched ones in what i want.

Hence i have my old school rare Bee*R's.

Though i've been having a look at miesters recently...

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
