Thats the type of kits n sh!t I had to deal with at sinergy, nightmare. With side skirts etc wood fails as it doesn't bring the car high enough to get under the skirts lol Absolute nightmare!

Nisskid your car is hardly heaps low? But anyway sometimes wood isn't thick enuf so you can get the arms underneath the car to the chassie rail

lol, i think ull find it doesnt look low because it doesnt have a gay kit on it or hektik 18's, to give u an idea, the cat was scraping on the road when i was doing 3-point turns because of the camber of the road.

but yeh, the kits are an issue, but the actual arm is only about 7cm thick, so all id need to do is put u up onto a 5cm thick block of wood, and the arm will slide under easily.

What is it with people dissing kits these days ?

With the right wheels etc they look tough.

BN kits with massive offset wheels look tough. Sometimes I think I'm reading the grandpa gogo mobile forums

nah for the most part kits look tryhard and massive offset is extravagant wank

im for the james bond school of design, not the paris hilton mindset

subtlety over gaudy vomit

Edit - yet to see a kit for the r32 gtr that beats the stock standard bodykit - cant fake those curves baby

because 99% of people are doing it wrong.

kits are gay.

*shrug*

im a fan of factory aero.

and seriously, most kits you see have been executed horribly.

Yes. ofcourse executed kits are bad. Im not talking about half hanging of veilside kits . My old 33 with BN and nice wheels looked neat. wasnt some backyard job.

Dohmar. Alittle over the top dont you think ? Vomit ? Paris Hilton.

Dont like the look of drift cars ?

Not really. Some cars are absolutely f**ked up from a design point of view, and you don't need to even start a poll.

Drift cars look cool because they are functional for what they do. I laugh when I see a street car with drift kit and the butthole has to spend a good minute negotiating the local HJ's carpark

The bodykit I'm talking about is the stupid stuff that leaves you with a couple mm worth of clearance from the wheels and the ground, the sorta stupid kit that is flared out widebody style, and the kits that have loads of these vents for braking channels, engine bay flow, cabin flow, boot lip flow

IMHO practicality beats everything else. For a serious street car I dont know why anyone would get the really low wide and flared kits ... if u want to impress 16 year old girls or want to have your own bay at autosalon, go for it, but I personally would rather have a performance car with the right suspension, wheel offset, castor and camber to do some serious driving on our roads, rather than just being some pretender to the throne - theres a big diff between street and track spec, so why run a show car with trac spec suspensions and offset? Theres no point trying to rock a skyline in J-spec suspension on A-spec roads.

-D

Some fair points.

I dont have a BN . or a massive kit on the 34. not because of just looks , but because I found the other kit impossible to drive around in.

People have diff opinions on looks. could go on forever without a result.

However. I wasn't trying to be a drift king on the streets with my BN kit. ? Not all people do. Some people like the look. I did, with the right wheels. real paint. No poofy other shit. just neat and tough. Nothing wrong with the more subtle look. Which is what im going for now with standard nismo kit. minus gay wing. Just sticking up for some people and their voice.

You think my 33 up there looks like vomit ?

whenever i get new tyres from Beaurepairs at Warradale/Somerton Park they drive my car up onto 4 rubber blocks so they can fit a jack under my car, since the front bar hits (yes hits not scrapes) on the hoist.

as i mentioned, my hoist only needs like 10cm clearance, so unless ur rails are 1cm off the ground, then a wooden block is enough to get enough clearance.

maybe these other hoists people are using are higher, but all i know is its easier to get my hoist in underneath, than a jack.

    • AFM looks to be a z32 The injectors maybe old Nismo 555cc The turbo tag when looked up seems to be a gt2871 , imagine it would have the bigger rear housing .82 all look like the mid 00's mods when he started building it up. Vac hose seems right but would need to see a diagram. Great work going up there and sorting it out, be a good club car for someone wanting a good reliable rig.  I know I would like to have it but no space and too many other race cars at the moment.
    • Heys guys I got a r32 gtst speedo is out by 10kph seems the faster I go the more it be out  just seeing if anyone else had to problem and knows how to fix it 
    • I can't agree. If we hadn't all been brought up with the noise caused by the inefficiency of an ICE, no-one would actually ask for all that. An EV is like any other car, it just goes better. 
    • 2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)
    • OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
