would look odd as hell, why not just go 34gtt wheels? would look better than 32 gtr

haha, yeah i bugged allot of people. im amazed i actually ended up buying in adelaide tbh. now im pestering all the for sale threads

yeah its a bit poke. for LED kits pm elrodeo666, he took over from Dan666 hes hooked me up with some good prices. I've used dan666 kits (im assume they haven't changed) in my last 32, looked like this irl,

yeah thats cool. also ordered that white LED dash cluster, Ac and center gauge kit... should get here soon. had them in my last 32, such a better look for the gauges.

yeah, flick me a pic of their color output, and did you get allot more light over the stock bulbs? my other option is to beef up the wiring/relays and get higher watt bulbs i guess. had a friend of a friend pop over to my work in his free time who works in vehicle electronics. champ reprogrammed my security system. the car came with a very good system installed but i had no idea how to use it and i failed at trying to download the manuals online. -car now has remote start amongst a few other little features like windo rolldown ect. still needs a valet switch replaced aswell as a neutral switch for the remote start. atm if its left in gear and started... it will crank until it starts which means if it gets enough torque it will hit something... haha.. not ideal. car also came with push button start. buttons a bit red... but i kinda like it, might see if i can find a black or clear button. other killswitch devices installed too hes gonna help me out with the rest of the sound system at some point. this is how it looks atm... again tisk tisk One good thing was the seller for free gave me a 10" pioneer sub in a box. i think ill take it out of its ported box and fit it to a small sealed box. i like bass but i like base to be punchy and very crisp. it should complement good speakers instead of rattle the boot. no idea on the amp but will probably reuse. that wiring needs to go though, amazed nothing has shorted. one thing i do like is the re done parcel shelf. good colour, good material and a very well done yet subtle GTR logo embossed. ignore the shitty speakers. they will be replaced with something higher quality and less..... spikey SHIT the windows were grubby! its had tint at some point and removed poorly, took allot of work to get the windows back to being clear. will need to pull the parcel shelf out to clean properly but that needs to happen for the sound system anyway. also the back seat needs to come out regardless.... but more on that soon......

steering rack ziptied on... needless to say there was some steering play (4ws prelude)

so clean.

could not stand the yellow headlights. i have generally always ran HID kits 4000-6000 in my cars (yes i know illegal and so on) but i really like a bright white output, problem is i usually had projectors, the gtr has N1 headlights. HIDs work really well with the output but are an issue for on coming blinding so i will probably not use HID's i have gone for the best i could find for stock replacements with the philips 4300k (stock bulbs pictured in the box) although they are marginally brighter there still too yellow for me Drivers side is the phillips, passenger is the stock so i dont know what to do now. thinking i might have to try out a HID kit and see how well i can adjust it. thoughts on going hid? anyone with N1 lights used them with out trouble?

Ah!.. i do, also soon to be replaced with a clean stock wheel, as soon as i find one which isn't drug money. cheers.

had a look at that one but some asshole bought it before i sold my old car .... congrats man!

Welcome mate...... get a GTR... you know... for the kiddies school runs and such

Chears Tim, If the new tires dont fix the issue, i don't intend on chasing the issue down on such an antiquated steering component, so i may hit you up for them. edit* ... ok had to google them, obviously a bit different to a lock bar, do they just replace the arms? cant quite work out how they work. edit** ...ok another quick search and found some more info, http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/281675-complete-r34-gt-r-hicas-removal/ Ok, so unlike a full bar they bolt to the original mounts separately?... how much do you want for them? pm me.

sorry to hijack, im sure someone smart has purchased these already... but i have these on my car.. how do i tell if they are genuine?

also would like to say that thy guys at Pavlou's are very good guys to deal with. I have used them for some big $5k -> $30k v8 jobs through work, but first time using them on my older personal vehicles. very knowledgeable and upfront without charging like a bull. can recommend them so far. also the cars they get in there are worth going in just to see. they have a very wealthy client basis. on the day -crazy 280Z -worked mini cooper -3 big block mopar yank tanks -worked vf gts -couple of senators/ r8 clubbies -corvette -gt40 rep -caterham to spot a few.

OK damage report... good news car is mostly all good mechanically. -replaced oils with 10/40 valvoline VR1 after a flush -replaced all filters and other fluids, -replaced some hoses including 2 coolant lines which were weeping at the clamps and flushed the cooling system, pressure tested and new coolant. -new battery as the old had dropped a cell belts have not been done so we did: -ac/ps belts. i have not yet done the timing belt, it needs doing but seems to visually be ok for now, not cracked ect. -brakes are new, bearings are all good, no broken boots ect and engine checked out all fine generally so im happy. -The rear diff clunk is a worn diff bush so that has been added to the list f next to be done. -swaybar Dlink bushes/ rod bush and front suspension bush all worn so they will be attended to soon. I will probably look into new coilovers, swaybars and general bush replacement together at some point so i can set them up together with the alignment. tires are nackered which was obvious on sale, also shit mismatched anyway. tisk tisk. still handles surprisingly well on such bad rubber other than the whiring road noise. not sure if i should buy decent tires for the 17' Enkies which are on there or just spend some more coin and just get new 18x9.5 (or 10) +15ish wheels and get tires for them... hardest part is choosing a wheel. im thinking enkei rpf1 in silver for a clean not over the top look which i think suits the 32 fronts rears another annoyance is the HICAS warning light coming on after 15 mins of driving, the battery didnt fix the issue being low, replacing the steering fluid did not solve it, im pointing my finger at the tires, tbh i will probably just pull it and and lock it if the tires dont fix the issue. the only reason i would keep it is for legalities, otherwise ill save the weight and future issues. The high idle we will also address soon. the idle screw is all the way in so cant rely on that. the throttle body seal is still ok, no one has tried cleaning it out thank god were assuming we can tackle it by adjusting the physical linkages? my next step for now then is to replace the timing belt and were blaming the rotational idle squeak on a belt tensioner being too tight or just worn so we will replace them with a full kit, why not when were in there. at this time we will play with the throttle linkages and reset the idle and pop it on the rollers to see what it base power output is. more than likely we will up the boost to roughly 10psi (or wherever the car is happiest) with a ball and spring boost T and re-dyno to get the power output and leave it there for now. might look into a eboost street 2 or something but realistically its overkill for such low boost? hope to get this done maby next week. i don't think i'm forgetting anything..

sounds like he wants to retain it. keen to see a build.

Booked into Paul Pavlou motors today for its major service and check over, im assuming all is ok bar a few issues i want checked out -car has a 900 idle on start and 1200 idle when warm, hopefully this is just an idle screw adjustment, -rotational squeak with idle, assuming a belt or the likes -diff clunk.. hopefully not diff center -timing belt im assuming needs replacing but needs checking -general servicing. hoping no skeletons i didn't see don't jump out on me now.

reality is they deal with this allot, im sure they would make it easy on themselves by having enough fuel to not have to push cars around.

that was actually my first thought too.

it does look like it, but dosnt work with the n1 foggs. and yeah the tow hooks ar painted red. no idea what some people thing when they do weird little things sometimes.

and this is way off topic

this

I pay a little extra premium to protect my no claims bonus so that i can claim for anything without fear of increased premiums. good to do anyway paint fault from manufacturer is taken care of by the manufacturer, when when new anyway. i have seen Holden take a car back and give a new car. heaps of times actually.

anyone know why i have a red reverse light (does not illuminate with reverse or fog lights) was this an option somewhere along the lines?
