Where did you get the S3 lights? Trying to find some myself.

I got them from Kudos about 8 months ago. I believe they were the last few remaining sets released to public. I have a feeling as they are no longer in production, you need to know someone to find any. The price of these reflected this, and although was expensive, I feel it was worth it to finish the front end off.

Also 2.7 Ohm resistor mod, can you explain?

The airbag light stays on if you don't hook up the 34 GTR airbag, and even then I don't know if it would work (being 20 years old) or if they are even same resistance. Hooking up a 2.7 ohm resistor to the brown and black wires fools the ECU into thinking there is an airbag. You could always remove the globe as well.

I'm pretty sure none were made after 1998 haha
the stock that's available is just whatever Nissan had laying around globally in warehouses.

Wow Steve looks great mate?. I miss the car everytime you put up an update. Good job mate?

Cheers Matt. I was hoping you'd check up for updates. The car is enjoyed and appreciated, I am making sure I take good care of it :)

I'm not sure when they were last produced - so I'll take your word for it. What I meant was since Kudos made a post ~7 months ago I haven't seen any other sets become available, at least in Australia. Just the random odd person selling a set, and they get snapped up really fast.

The REAL love of our lives hey... ? (making sure the wife isn't looking at this post) ?

But seriously. Lovely GT-R mate. The series 3 headlights really transform the look of it, they look great. Keep the posts up.

Thanks for all the kind words everyone, I am really happy there are so many people who share the passion for these amazing machines.

2 sets of good news.

1) I have managed to convince (probably just sick of my whinging) my lovely wife to let me do the turbo upgrade. Going to start trawling through the rb26 dyno thread to see which one to go with. Anything between the 600-650hp atw should be sufficient, I don't want to go overboard without forging bottom end or sacrificing too much drive-ability/reliability. Open to suggestions, thinking BW8374 or GTX35?

2) Enjoy the second location shots.

Car looks amazing, well done, it’s the little things that make it, the series 3 lights, 34 wheel etc, just set it off, beautiful car. 
The Precesion 64/66 is a popular turbo, might be a little lazy with stock compression motor but will make 400-450kw on a lower boost setting, then when you’re ready and build the bottom end, you can turn it up, that turbo will be good for 550kw ATW. 
Just be mindful that you’ll be past the limits of the stock box, so if you beat on it too much you’ll end up with a noisy or broken gearbox. 
and the can of worms has been cracked open ?

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
