Thanks Prank. I'll try to post more updates soon. Gonna get an ECU slapped on soon. So excites.

Lol. They have been removed and the wheels were resprayed to gunmetal grey if you look at the later photos.

Thanks man. Will update soon regarding the ecu. Btw, read your thread and thought you did awesome sticking to the roots. :D

No worries George, hopefully the Link is good. Heard good things from people running them in Aus

Cheers man, good to see people are actually reading my thread haha :banana:

Yep. It has got pretty great reviews. Cant wait to get it installed end of this month. :woot: See what peer pressure does to you. Lol.

Cheers buddy. :banana:

I bet, it's like waiting for Christmas :w00t:

Sick, looks the goods man! Can't wait to see the numbers she pulls on the tune :)

Thanks buddy. Its On The Road tune. Its a more inexpensive alternative compared to dyno tune. ;) Many say that you get a much more realistic tune as it is tuned on actual road conditions though you dont get the fancy graph with accurate torque/HP data. Its also part of the reason why I've decided to settle with OTR tune.

So I decided to try something wild for a change. Always loved the MINES concept and wanted to make a replica out of it. Some may love it whilst some may hate it. Would appreciate some kind comments. ;) Gonna get her tuned with the new ECU this weekend. Cant wait.

I apologise for the poor quality photos. Will get a proper shoot when there's time.

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • 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?
