D-Spec wheels (if you've seen them in real life) have a very special spoke design that, even though they have moderate offset (+30), they look like the spokes are dished right into the center of the wheel, almost like they have +0 offset (a la Volk TE37s for AE86). The LM GT4s only look "+0 offset deep spoke" style when they are for GT-R offsets/widths. Usually for GTS-ts and GTS25-ts the GT4s look fairly ordinary. Don't bag me for that comment, I see GT4s ALOT and I don't fancy them so much anymore.

I don't know why I didn't think of this before!!! Ok, first a few rules: 1) No Kanji, Katakana or Hiragana script. It's likely most people won't be able to read the more difficult Kanji (95%), and I don't want guys coming on here and using Babelfish to just translate any old crap and copy n paste... lets use our heads! 2) Keep it clean. I don't want all you guys testing out the latest "Chin-chin" joke or seeing how many parts of the female anatomy you can say in Japanese. 3) This is more of a thread to help people LEARN MORE JAPANESE, so please keep topics easy and not too complicated. Maintain the flow so peeps of all levels can have input. Ok???? Ja, ikimashou!! e? Boku wa saki ni itte hoshii? eetoohh... hhhhsssssssshhh [/sucks teeth] Minna, kyou nani o shiteta? Kyou, jyuuni ji kara kuji made shigoto atta... mmmmmmmmecha omoshirokatta yo! Shigoto de wa takusan onnanohito no gakusei o oshieteimasu kara! Minna wa?

coc69: I see you don't have the center support bar on your car:

I hung the center bracket from the vertical support like in the pic below: The Blitz LM intercooler has 3 bracket attached to it like in the pic below: ... convenient for mounting the cooler up straight. To be honest we just bung the thing on there, didn't even check to see if it was straight...:headbang:

Of course the odometer's been wound back! It's an import!! In Japan, you'd be crazy to sell a car WITHOUT the odo being wound back.

Opening our Swedish massage parlour... don't tell me you want to go it alone???

Do you think we're giving away any clues as to what we're gonna do when we head back to AU troy??? Better keep it under our hats for full effect.

Sorry Troy, I accidently edited your post instead of quoting it.... I cant be stuffed going back and fixing it

The R32 GTS Type J is a RB20DE aswell. Jason you should go back and check those specs you put up, theres quite a few mistakes. Thanks for going to the trouble though, top effort!

That should be RB25DE not RB20E, and the R32 GTS25 Type S was released in August '91 and finished in July '93... sorry to split hairs.

Wheels are D-Spec Cashed up drifter wannabes in the US are already importing these wheels by the truckload... exactly the reason why I didn't go for them.

Sleeperish probably gives you an idea of my age...It's a 1990.

That is very sad... and to think there's a whole lot of guys over in US going "Yeeeeeaaaaah, sweet ride dude!!!" "damn doze GT-Arrrrrrrrr biatches... I mean badges look fkn RAD man!!" "hooooo-weee, dats a pimpin Hahnduh you got dere slick... yeah, reeeeeeeaaaal slick" "I didn't knoe dat duh GT-Arrrrr came in FWD?" "Word... I said word muthafkah. Thats duh shit right dere homes whatdduh" "Dats da baddest muvvahfkn ride eye evah seen... doze Nissans V-techs sure knoe how tah light up dem front bags, what!" "Lefthand drive GT-Arrrrr in da hoooooooooooooowwwwse!!!" "Whay did ya take off doze bitchass muthafkn turbos for dude... turboes 'n Naws ROOOOOOOCK!!! oh sorry... did I spit in yah eye?"

eeeerm... I believe they're OIL CANS

Yes, all the above exist in Japan... can be had for very reasonable prices too.

Too far away for me...

If you were gonna get it done professionally, it'd cost eleventy billion dollars...

Take the sideskirts off to check for rust and damage to the chassis/lower body (where the black paint starts) if the car has been picked up by a forklift. Check the area around where the rear bumper meets the rear guards too... lots of rust there usually, but can be overlooked by a quick inspection. Sometimes you can only see the extent of it when the bumper is off. I think most 15 year old cars in Japan are dodgy... thats just my opinion. I say that because even so called enthusiasts in Japan lose respect for *old* cars that cost them more to run/remain registered that their monthly rent bill.

Let us know... I'm really interested to see how things turn out. I hope it turns out that I was wrong!

Dave: Only another Japan resident could sum up the days events like you did... spot on! I don't think the cooler did much in the way of performance, maybe just make the intake charge slightly cooler than the stock intercooler, but as Cerealkiller says, the power comes when the boost is up... which mine isn't... yet! Afaik, the boost rises a little with a large cooler like the Blitz LM. Cerealkiller: I have to go out of my way to get the crossmember cut, so thats at the bottom of things to do right now, I think just moving the number plate over to the passenger side will do for now (stock boost).

ocean: Take it from me... I've seen *many* of these cars up close in Japan, in fact I just had a look at one last week here in Nishinomiya. Your car, being located out in the country, is gonna have rust. On top of the obvious mechanical and cosmetic problems. I must admit, when I saw the pics, I thought "oh no... you didn't did you?". I bet the driver/owner of that car raced it regularly, then had a minor accident, then realized that the repair cost is goona approach the total amount he paid for the car (400 - 500,000 yen). ocean, I know how you must feel, I bought a rough R32 with plans to do it up... but even with my car (better condition) it's still a money waster bar none. Good luck.

Some pics from yesterday... DIY! Who needs a garage??? Troy, thanks HEAPS for coming around yesterday and helping/buying extras, I really appreciate it. ... oh, and we were neck and neck last night, but I had a passenger and you didn't... hehehe Blitz LM 'cooler:

Ganowhores? You don't like them?
