Dont mind the missing fuel cap :banana: Was getting some paint for my ganadors just wanted to make sure it matched.

New wheels are lenso 19x10's, they have a +17 offset compared to the factory 30 so the wheels come out nicely now.

Thanks to Novak from Empire Aero for these, perfect quick delivery and nice guy to deal with.

Heh yeah I know she sits pretty high, im not fussed but.

Ive lowered heaps of cars in the past but now I prefer to keep the drivability and not have to worry about scraping over the smallest of speed bumps or angles. If the front spoiler didnt hang down lower than the rest of the body id consider dropping a few inches on it.

They are almost the exact wheels im getting! Im only going the 19x8.5" though. I've been waiting for 2 weeks just to find out if i can order the bloody things from the USA...getting over that pretty quick...

Might have a look at where you got yours from.

Hot wheels :D

Very nice mate, looks like a mint GTR,

If that was my car the only other things I'd do externally would be to get a pair of nismo sideskirts or similar in CF to compliment the vspec lip and rear diffuser

and also get some CF ganador mirrors.

But very swoit as it is, lowered GTRs look wrong to me imo, that's just me

what happened to your fuel cap!! nice measurements on the rims though!

:P

as stated he's using the fuel cap to match paint.

looks 6.5-7.5/10... would love to see those rims in full gunmetal grey with a 1.5 inch drop... wheels excluded looks like an extremely nice example!

if your happy im very happy! nice stuff dude clean car all round! :ermm:

Like they say Jenkies you cant judge taste, if everyones was the same it'd be a pretty boring world!

Fuel cap is back on now :ermm: I got some ganadors but im painting them blue, im not really a fan of large carbon pieces. I have a carbon ztune style bonnet but thats getting painted also :D

After that im done with my patrol, then its off to straddie, or something :P

This is just my opinion, as you asked, so don't worry too much...

I think those wheels look like horrible, cheap, Tempe Tyre spec wheels. Definitely not suited to a tough GTR like that, imo some quality Jap wheels would look 100 x better. But hey, just my opinion, so if you're happy with the wheels thats all that matters.

Personally, not a fan of those wheels - reminds me of alot of the "JDM modfied pro racer spec" Honda Civics out there. I would of gone for something thick spokes, possible dish depends or just kept with the standard wheels. I would of also gone for something like shadow chrome, silver, dark bronze or dark grey - single tone; not two tone - would go well with the blue much nicer and be more subtle looking.

Other than that, definitely needs to be lowered - atleast to about just barely above the tyre; preferably have the tyre slightly under the guard. And as someone else mention - sideskirts would compliment the rear diffuser and front lip real nicely. Overall, bar the wheels the car looks mega hot :thumbsup:

    • Jap premium will be 100 RON. You should use 98.
    • The exhaust gases are at their highest temperature as they leave the exhaust port and enter the manifold. They cool as they flow through the manifold because they transfer heat to the manifold and the manifold loses heat to the surrounding environment. Thus, inevitably, the exhaust gases are cooler as they enter the turbo compared to when they entered the exhaust manifold. So, yes, the exhaust manifold can easily get as hot as the turbine housing. Having said that, you will generally see the highest temperatures where the exhaust gases have to slow down or they are concentrated into one area - which is usually the collector on the manifold and in the turbine housing, because the gases slam into the metal at those places, increasing the convective heat transfer coefficient and transferring even more heat to the metal than they might just flowing past elsewhere. Exhaust manifold heat shields are a good idea - certainly for the stock manifold they are there from the factory. People seldom have anything like that on a tubular manifold because they are hard to achieve. Some might wrap a tube manifold with fibreglass tape - but this has a reputation of leading to cracked welds. The best case is generally to put ceramic coating onto the manifold to prevent it getting as hot (internal coating) and radiating/convecting heat into the bay (external coating). All the real heat from a turbo comes from the exhaust side. The gases entering are at ~800-900°C and the steel/iron gets nearly that hot. The compressor side is only going to heat the charge air up to <<200°C (typically not much more than 100°C). So that's nothing, by comparison. The compressor is not a significant source of engine bay heat.
    • Late to the party, specifically joined this forum as I just bought one of these and this thread has been a gold mine of info. If the OP is still around, mind if I ask what gas you been putting in yours? Mine has a Japanese sticker in the cap saying premium but it seems to get way worse mileage on premium (95) than 91. I always thought it was meant to be the other way round🤷 I do think Nissans claimed "6l/100km" is a bit fantastical 😂
    • Does exhaust manifold get hot as turno exhuast side? I have a turbo cover to managr heat in the engine bay but  nothing is covering the exhaust manifold before turbo   i know as turbo does compress air, the temp does go up however does that mean exhaust manifold would be as hot?
    • It's excellent but I'm still breaking it in so I'm not 100% sure where it'll end up. I would say it's about 15% heavier than stock and the smoothness of the slip zone is quite progressive but you need to be a little patient compared to stock or it'll bite hard and stall. Stock I got away with absolutely horrid clutch control. Like I said before I couldn't even tell where the clutch would grab when it was stock so releasing way too quickly without enough revs it would just slip and the revs would drop lower than ideal but that would be the end of it. Currently there's a bit of a nasty clutch judder if I don't apply enough revs + find the exact wrong point of the slip point in the clutch pedal but it feels like it's slowly resolving as I drive it more. I would not recommend the competition clutch unless you really need the extra clamp force. I think this clutch combined with the Nismo operating cylinder is going to be exactly what I want. Enough bite that you need to remember the release point to avoid stalling or rough shifts, but progressive enough that it's not hard to drive by any means and not heavy at all. I tried a "super single" clutch on my friend's 997.2 Turbo 6MT and that was absolutely horrid. It runs an electrohydraulic power steering pump for the clutch power boost so there's zero feedback in the clutch pedal and there was a horrific clutch shudder well after break-in due to the lack of marcel springs or hub springs in the friction disk. It felt like the slip zone was the thickness of a single toe twitch as well so it was almost impossible to avoid stalling it unless you gave it a ton of revs and just dumped the clutch instead of trying to be smooth with it. I was terrified of pulling out in front of traffic. I have also tried some kind of "super single" on an EK9 and that makes this twin plate Coppermix look like a stock clutch. Releasing the clutch pedal even slightly too quickly feels like you're getting rear-ended. The pedal is extremely heavy as well and there's no vacuum assist like the GTR.
