Finally managed to get the pictures off the camera!

She is a bit dirty and rough so hold back on the negativity :)

Outside:

wide angle

car from distance

rims with sick snow tyres!

front bar

car in driveway

front bar close to my driveway

rear end

rear end 2

Engine Bay

Interior

inside

omori guages

recaro bucket

Damage

dent in bonnet

rear left damage (worst)

rust spot

Overall once I fix up the dent in the rear and that rust spot it will be all good. I think she is pretty sexy. Exhaust needs to be done.. that one has a little hole in it which makes a humming noise;/

Anyway I look forward to seeing you all out and about! :wassup:

The only downfall (and subsequently first thing to be rectified) is that it's an auto.

yes you heard right feel free to start hanging shit.

BUT

that being said I got it pretty damn cheap so I managed to fit insurance/compliance/rego/alarm and shit into my loan money. For a uni student with no parents to support him, that's a good thing!

Just for the record it came with the following:

Omori guage panel (oil/water temp, oil pressure, ext temp)

GReddy boost guage

Nismo 260km/h dash cluster

KYB Super Street 4 way adjustable suspension (springs I'm unsure about, not stock because my original shocks + springs were in the boot)

Blitz super sound BOV (not on the car, was in a kit in the boot)

HKS EVC (old school one like in meggala's ceffie - not plugged in was sitting in the glovebox)

SAFC (again old school item with the 5 knobs)

3inch exhaust (pretty crappy mild item but does the job)

Recaro bucket + 4 point harness

my climate control box was moved to my glovebox (gotta love more room for more guages!)

GTR front bar/bonnet/skirts/rear bar/wing/I think the rear guards are pumped or GTR items/r33 grille (think it's an r33 grille.. anyone know?)

Think that's everything

Looks awesome, i like the grill, looks good and probably 1/4 the price of a gtr one.

Also, from the engine bay pic it looks like it has a remote oil filter kit, which is handy coz its a bitch to get to it in the normal place.

And youve got a strut brace, dont forget that.

Itll clean up good.

Congrats on the purchase. Pity it's auto tho, but nice never-the-less.

I'm curious as to how they fitted the high-center-rear brake light, cos AFAIK a GTR wing doesn't come with it.

I have a GTR replica bar sitting in my shed atm (plastic as far as I can tell)... makes me want to put it back on, but it'll scrape the hell outta everything (car is lowered slightly).

Thanks for all the kind comments. The manual conversion is the first thing on my list don't you worry.

Yeah mine is stupid low and scrapes on everything too.. more so because I wasn't used to the ride height and was doing this maybe a little too quickly heh.

Didn't the GTR come with the brake light in the wing? Interesting..

A quick question relating to rubber. I'll have to get some new rubber because the ones on the car are winter/snow tyres.. what do you suggest I do:

a) find a 32 owner and borrow his for a few hours at the pits?

B) buy some new rubber for it..

I don't have a heap of cash so might go for second hand rubber if that's the path I'll take.. anyone know prices on second hand rubber?

There's a post on tyres. Here's what japcab had to say.

North End tyres bro

14a carrick drve,

tullamarine.

Second hand tyres with 85%-95% tread on em.

Cheap as chips, i scored 285/R18/30 Pirelli Pzeros for $150 fitted.

check em out.

Personally i will get my tyres from them to. Oh and nice car. :)

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
