Hey Guys,

Just wondering how yo guys feel about the Red in the premium version? Personally I don't like it and opting towards the Base model, except im left without the bose stereo system and the dark wheels.

Unless I buy the base model and change the wheels anyway, im sure I can work around with the stereo. I just wish the Premium came with the option of just black interior, what do you guys think?

yeah sadly in aus we are a bit limited for choice. the japanese cars had 3 options levels. base, premium, and black edition. the premiums in japan had the upgraded alarm, upgraded bose stereo, dark wheels, bridgestone tyres but still had the same seats as the base model. and the black edition was a premium but with the red insert seats.

maybe buy the premium and hope down the track someone with a base model will want to swap seats with you... :D

Just get the premium and get the Red retrimmed. Couldn't be more than $1k.

Regards,

You can't be serious! Cut out the red and patch in the black inserts? What about all the stiching holes which will never match up again?

These seats will get ruined for sure.

Just take a look at the photo of the 4 GT-Rs lined up in the "R35 Development Project, A snapshot of a customer build" thread. One of the cars has the black wheels (premium) and three have the "charcoal" wheels. Can you really see that much of a difference? And if you spent $4000 on upgrading the standard stereo I'm sure you'd end up with a hellava better stereo than the so-so Bose system. (Plus you get the stickier Dunlops) :D

      I've watched some vids and the technique seems to be to butt the sheets up to one another and use MIG to spot weld and slowly fill in the spots until its eventually all sealed. No runs as you would normally do, as there's too much heat generated that way. Yeah my stick welds are terrible these days because its been so long since i've done any of it. I expect to be spending many hours practicing

      I have personally seen a Tomei USA RB26 cam that didn't even fit the head. Kind of nuts to me that it was even possible for that to happen but such is life.  There's two UP Garages in the US. One is a US branch of the Japanese company which sells things they brought over at tremendous markup. The other is University Place Garage/Fairlady Motors which is a shop best known for putting VCAM in RBs and trying to convince people to stop putting in 800hp of turbo on a 2.5L motor.

      Gasless MIG is not exactly suited to what I would call "delicate" or "attractive" welding. So I would rule it out for sheet metal rust repair type stuff, unless you're only doing it in hidden places. I'm thinking about getting myself a gasless MIG for "hack together" type work. Noting that my welding experience is very very low, and quite a long time ago. So I'm also looking for "simple", but I'm not expecting "excellent". I'm not even sure that proper MIG is the best for sheet metal work. I get the feeling that the degree of control and the minimisation of heat input that you get from TIG is probably what you really want. And then you have to get good at doing it before the welds won't look like a monkey flinging a handful of shit anyway. You're probably SOL for an easy and cheap way to get from where you are to where you want to be. Much like myself.

      Any recommendations for what would be the easiest welding type to start on, for sheet metal rust repairs and maybe some exhaust piping too? Seems like MIG is the most common. Would gasless MIG be ok to learn on and do some simple jobs? I have a stick welder which has a Lift TIG setting, but i'm more interested in getting whatever's easiest to do, and most suitable, rather than using what i have.
