f**k me josh!

thats jizz - when i have cash for wheels, we'l talk offset :D

Soooooooooooo very very hot. Almost makes me tempted to pull apart my rims to rebuild them for porn fitment, but alas I am a very lazy kid. In past history tells me anything, they'll never go back on my car :/

i bet thats something u'd do

It’s actually pretty common to do a flip/conversion as it’s cheaper than getting custom made lips/barrels made. Pretty common in wheel rebuild threads on a few of the wheel/offset forums I am on.

Yes I post on wheel specific forums

Been wanting to do the same thing:

Also went and spoke to a shop in Underwood that do a few race cars/drift cars (they did the body work on the Option1 Silver 350z). Without sitting down at working out each cost, they said around $1000 to weld in a pannel.

I have seen roof cuts on ebay for as little as $150. Cut at the pillars, so easy to match and cut, then re weld. People are put off, but I don't know why - People take the roof off cars for SERIOUS roll cage building, it's not different - Your just replacing it with another one.

IMHO if anything putting a sunroof in a non sunroof car makes a car weaker then welding in a non sunroof, roof.

that's a bit better. thought 2k was a bit rough.

do you know if you could fit the non sunroof roof lining once the work was done?

what place in underwood did you see? i work near there, so may pop around and have a chat

wow just went an met my next door naighbor who ive seen playin around in his garrage the past few days, hes got a r31 with a rb26/30, gt3582r, 4" zorts turbo bak ful surge tank setup, big f*k off external gate, the whole f**kin shabang.

Yeap, the more you supply the cheaper it is. I just wanted a sheet welded in with no centre rib (IIRC its only there for two reasons to hold in the roof light and to stop minor roof flex eg: if you lent on the roof in the centre).

If you supplied the centre rib and hood lining and just welded in a plate, apposed to a full roof swap it'll only be around the $1k as well. You can buy the rib new from nissan. I'd also take the sunroof out myself as thats an extra few hours labour you can save. I've had mine out heaps, it's not a hard job.

The shop is in Kenway Dr. Should be building number 6. There is always imports and all kinds of shit there.

**the hood lining on my non sunroof R32's where only ever held in by the side pillar trims, no clips, no glue. There is no reason why a factory liner will not fit**

    • Son, in this country, that is a piece of Gyprock. f**king drywall. FFS! I also like the autocorrect of trailer to tablet. I was reading it and thing, "what the hell drugs is he on?" Then the photo made it clear enough.
    • SO whats the deal with this issue? I've read a heap of posts from the infinity owners in the US having full engine swaps done under warranty. Most claims are done on earlier cars than 2019 but I'm sure I've come across claims of 2020 models also having this issue. I like the 400r and Q50Red/S but can't fathom dumping close to 50k on a car with terminal issues!!! 
    • The above video is working normally. That is, that's how the right hand indicator should cancel when rotating the wheel left.
    • I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.   
    • As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.
