Here's a better pic showing the tinted doors...

Also took the car to the detailers a week ago - had the paint swirls removed, and a general buff all over, removing minor scratches around the door handles, etc.

Man, it made a huge difference to the look of the car, a bargain for $200. The photo really doesnt do justice to the difference. Now I just have to maintain the washing and polishing the way I was told to... the detailer guy was really full-on and passionate about the subject :no:

what tint % do u have on the back windows & what are the front windows?

im about to get my black r32gtr done but not sure if i go 20%, 15% or 5% (ive heard 5% is very hard to see @ night)

Hot rims dude, hot colour, they look so much better when not gold :P

Im liking the S2 front bar in black

Thanks Grant.

Initially I was intent on getting either all black wheels, or black centres/polished alloy rims.

But when I saw these with the 'shadow chrome' centres, I changed my mind - for the time being anyway :P

The S2 front bar is okay I guess - I do prefer the indicators and grille over the S1 at least.

I will probably change the front bar at some point, not many aftermarket ones I like to be honest.

I do like the East Bear range though.

But, in the 6 or 7 weeks I've owned the car I've spent a crapload on mods already, and am a little tired of working on it or dropping it off somewhere to get work done.

Plus I'm moving interstate in a month, so time to stop spending money & time...

It's time to just get out there and enjoy the driving car as it is!

For a while anyway :D

(Damned 'flood control' mumble...)

Hey Marko,

The rear windows were already tinted in Japan so I really don't know the exact % (though I have seen 20% mentioned a lot), I could guess but I doubt it'd be very accurate. It's pretty darn dark though. I'm used to it now for the most part, not a problem during the day but at night I would have to be honest and say it does restrict your vision sometimes.

The front doors have been done in 35% 'Midnight Express' tint http://www.tintacar.com.au/autofilm_midnight.shtml.

In the end I just went for the darkest legal tint (35%) and they claim that Midnight Express looks the darkest of the legal tints.

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
