beast mode! 1mil credits for your efforts sir. BTW I still have a G29/290 or whatever the updated version of the wheel is sitting in the corner, too lazy to set it up. BUT, the wheel does give you way more precise control, and after a couple of hours on it, your lap times will drop.

What is the best wheel/car combo?
niZmO_Man replied to PranK's topic in General Automotive Discussion
I've always been partial towards the multispoke (10? 11? spokes) white wheels on the Gibson HR31s. I reckon the boxy R31 design and the 17" multispoke (BRAID?) work well... Also influenced by 90's BTCC era big (19") wheels. Also hard to beat TE37 or Enkei RPF01 6 spoke wheels. P.S. I was never a fan of "3-piece" wheels with the bolts, I preferred the monoblock designs... until I got my LMGT1s haha. -
Coilovers, what to choose?
niZmO_Man replied to Stepho1337's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Maxspeedingrods, yikes, please be careful and get them removed from your car ASAP. -
No one has a vernier caliper to measure the diameters of that pipe and where it should sit in?
-
nice one, sometimes it's the simple things (plumb back is better anyway)

C'mon Prank, first proper lap out I did 1:53 on cataluyna, with PS4 controller hehe

Look around for your local car interior trimmer?

Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?
niZmO_Man replied to V35_Paul's topic in V Series (V35, V36, V37 & Infiniti)
Definitely shop around to get a custom exhaust made up. Those prices seem ridiculous. If you're dead set on a JDM item, might be worth asking Jesse Streeter (or similar) to bring in a Japanese cat back. -
Odometer LCD is Intermittently Wonky
niZmO_Man replied to Kip's topic in Four Door Family & Wagoneers
I would take the cluster apart and re-flow the solder joints, it's like 20+ years old now, so might as well refresh it. -
Custom Exhaust Questions - RB25DET Neo
niZmO_Man replied to LjB123's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
IMO the "straight pipe" approach sounds crap. I'd (and have) go down the "two fat mufflers with mandrel bent custom exhaust" route. Not only would it give a nice note, it should be below 92dB or whatever the legal limit is. -
Skyline Washer Nozzle Compatibility
niZmO_Man replied to nouveau_poor's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
I've never looked into it, but I bet you 1 cc of 98RON petrol that the spray nozzles are the same as 90's era Nissans, e.g. Maxima, X-trail etc. Why would Nissan use specially made nozzles when they can use the one part across multiple cars. If you can, I would measure the R33 nozzles, then go to the nearest wreckers and look for/size up similar nozzles. -
Like loud exhausts? You could be a psychopath.
niZmO_Man replied to PranK's topic in General Automotive Discussion
The people living across the road from me (roughly 30m away) have various cars with loud exhausts. It's never fun whenever one of those cars fires up, especially at 6am. 2 fat mufflers all the way! -
Stock speakers / head unit functionality
niZmO_Man replied to Sleepergm's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Hertz are a good (euro?) brand, they specify high impedance and frequency response for factory setups. Downside is higher cost. If you can't run an amp and have to rely on factory amp, chances are Herts are a good but expensive buy. But like I said above, having done 2 R32 steroes, it's much easier to run your own cables + amp + speakers, your head unit should only require the battery +12V and ignition +12V. You can run earths/grounds and all the other wires yourself. -
probably make your own

Help GTR and GTST rear hub question
niZmO_Man replied to Clint32's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
It happens. The post dates aren't as obvious, but doesn't hurt to bump an old thread if it's relevant to your issue. -
A dude from Texas brought his car here to Australia? Amazing.

Stock speakers / head unit functionality
niZmO_Man replied to Sleepergm's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
I would find the +12V (battery) and +12V (Ignition), the rest you should run yourself. new head unit + 4ch amp + speakers = way easier than trying to use the shitty factory wiring. -
You need to provide more information, like what ECU, injectors, fuel pump etc. you have. those make a difference when you're converting from N/A to turbo

Stupid HICAS Question?
niZmO_Man replied to JeffWithaJ's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Weird thing I found on my GT-R, unplug the smaller plug on the HICAS computer, you retain the "variable steering" (below 70 km/h you get lighter steering/more assist), but it stops the stupid computer from killing you (a.k.a. the HICAS kick).
