Thanks! I found that the Gram Lights were also a love/hate deal. I think these days most un-ordinary modifications are.

I chose the BBS because 1.) It had never been done - to my knowledge and 2.) Much like I believe the titanium Gram Lights will never go out of style, neither will the RS.

Sure, you can say the look doesn't quite fit the car, but I haven't seen a single car that the BBS RS doesn't fit. Any car, to me, looks good with them. The RS has been around since the 80's and people are still cleaning them up and putting them on new cars. They're timeless. I can buy any year model German car and they'll look great. I can buy a FT86 and they'll look great. I can fit them to a 10 year old V35 and they look great.

I can sit here and pull the whole, "it's my car" thing, but there really was a lot of thought put into this... just like the previous setup. While I enjoy my car, I want others to be able to enjoy it and appreciate the work as well.

And finally.... that rear lip... I mean... c'mon.. lol :Pwaffle4_zpsedcd7eda.jpeg

It does look good mate. BBS seem to make amazing wheels that never go out of style and suit anything. Good on you for doing something different. I loved the gramlight but these are better. Needs more poke and dish. You will have to forgive some of the people on here. Jealousy for not doing it first.

As some of you may know i attempted to put a VQ25DET from a stagea into my 250GT. Well it didnt work for various reasons. So now when people say "oh stageas and skylines are the same only one is a wagon and one is a sedan" - its a load of crap. The only thing they really share is the front doors, windscreen, dash and other little bits, the rest is either slightly different or totally different.

So we ended up cleaning out the plenums and intake, new spark plugs and other bits aswell. Got some V35 forged rays factory tick option wheels. NOTE: these are not 350Z wheels.

I also put on a aero bumper.

I can't wait to see that painted. That is going to look rediculously good.

Very nice work mate, I think Nissan should have chosen that for the front end of the sedan to begin with. Perhaps looks even better than the coupe.

Wasn't sure whether here or newbies was the appropriate thread (that fact alone nearly induced me to post in newbies), but just picked up a V36 370 a couple of weeks ago. Finally decided to replace my 4door R32 GTSt. 'S' variant, and very happy with it (apart from the Japanese GPS of course). Shopped around for a bit before buying from Road and Track at Silverwater. Great to deal with, and the car came with de-registration certificate from Japan, giving me some piece of mind as to legitimate kms (apparently a common issue from what I had been reading).

Sorry, only took basic shots at my place with a camera phone. BTW the rear wheels aren't not quite as low as they look; the positioning in my driveway is causing that!

    • So I've been working on the car a fair bit, doing a lot of little things.  Still making slight adjustments to my tune, as the cold weather settles in. I've also had to start dropping boost and tire pressure as the weather gets cooler. It's getting very swirly at highway speeds. I drop to 20psi at 20C and 18psi spring pressure at 10C IAT's. I'm currently on 255 Falcon RT660's, but may look into running 275's next summer. They will fit, but barely. Might have to raise the rear a tad.  I'll start redoing my exhaust Monday, as I have the week off. I currently have an oval center muffler and cannon rear muffler. I've been told more then once from people behind me that my rear bumper is going to catch on fire one day. Seems I blow 5-10 second flames after doing a pull. No clue if that's the WMI, as I've never been able to do that before with other cars. I wanted to angle my tip down a tad so flames are pointed down and away from bumper. I also wanted to take the opportunity to reconfigure my exhaust line. I'm going to move my oval muffler to the rear with a pie cut angled tip and put in a new smaller round muffler in the center. I've rocked cannon mufflers on this car for the last few years and want to transition back the oval muffler look. I've also been looking for a stainless project to try out the new solar flux I bought. I'll post pictures on Monday, should be able to wrap that up in a day.  I'm also picking up another rear subframe this week. I wanted a second so that I could modify one with a gk tech anti squat reduction kit during the winter, and still be able to keep the car a roller so I can back it out of the garage if needed. I will also be caging it this winter. More on that later. Lastly, Speedtek still hasn't given me diddly squat. Every week for the last 4 weeks, they have been saying next week. They told me Friday to expect a shipping label that day to ship my two bad sets of ring and pinions back and nothing. There's definitely been more contact since I started destroying their company any chance I get on Facebook, but it's still just words without action.   
    • Have you done a pressure test on your intake/piping? Cleaned your IACV and Cold start valve?
    • Bit of a dump of ones I saw on my trip. I also have a heap from daikoko but that’s technically not  on the street 
    • i was thinking that the 2 wires that go to the sub from factory has some sort of preamp like you mentioned and also a lo Pass filter to get just bass. now that will only use 1 channel and that really should be all i need for a sub? if i was trying to put a set of speakers in the back i can understand cutting into the left and right speaker wires. i will try how im talking about doing it and if that is crap i will do it the way of all wires. thanks for the input guys.  
    • Challenging mig welding thin Aluminium pipe and trying to fit it in, having to bend and twist, but got there in the end. Fits really well and can easily get a socket wrench in there now to put it on/off. I'm in the middle of another project, so haven't installed the suction pipe yet. I'll post some pictures and results when i do.
