BTW you have the same side skirts, rear 1/4, and front fenders as mine.

I'm trying to find the right offset for mine too.

If you do find a offset for it let me know.

car looks nice dont like the rims the 18s would be enough with nice offsets like roy said... it would be good to see the car in life in the sun to get the full effect of the paint.

THe colour is abit of a overkill, didnt think it would turn out so bright, i will bring it out if theres a local cruise.

Thanks for your help and opinion guys, appreciate it.

Paint looks awesome buddy, even though the pics are shitty.

As for rims i would stick with 19's, with charcol/black centre and polished dish :(

Hope to see the car one day. Maybe even line up yours, Janissary, and mine to see the differance in paint. I'd imagine yours would "pop" more, being a custom colour.

i know what you mean, but at the moment it has 18x10's and doesnt fill out the guards enough.

So im thinking 19x12.5 Work Vs rims.

Although im unsure of what offset i need to fill out the rear guards.

19's should be fine. But get something like a +20 offset.... you have large guards dude, so I wouldn't be skimpy on the offset.... even look at some spacers!

Paint job looks awesome mate - i believe it was you i saw in my rear view mirror yesterday at about 5:30'ish on Ballarat Road; you slowed down next to another bloke in an burgandy R33 and then done a u-turn - I was in my R32.

Pictures dont do this paint job justice - very nice in the flesh :)

Cheers,

Steve.

nice colour... bit too porno for my liking but hey I'm old.

worst pics ever. lol.

what's the deal with the FMIC... why is it laying back at the top??

if anything it would be better to lay back at the bottom like a GTR rather than forward in case you clock the curb parking etc....

Yeah that was me, slowing down next to a friend of mine towards caroline springs.

I had to lay back the cooler , because my piping runs the factory way and the piping is run behind the intercooler, instead of under, because its abit too low to the ground.

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
