update all...

while scouring the internet, i found something today...

when i purchased this car - i looked at the paint, and the 1-off bodykit, and the IS F exhaust, and the interior...

and thought

no way would a japanese shop / owner go THAT FAR with car mods, then drive it around on those BULL SHIT 17" wheels.

i had my theory that the owner sold the car, kept his high spec stereo, and put on some cheap 17" wheels he had lieing around so that he could keep the wheels n sell the car

well

look what i found...

Lpack = top of the range,

you get access to many more options with Lpackage but the staples are the woodgrain dash, TEMS suspension (not applicable due to coilover setup - and incase you don't know, TEMS = a button you press, you want relaxed soft suspension, push the button and it handles like commo / falcon easy rider stuff, you push the tems button again and suspension goes stiff for more "spirited" drive

what is now called elec damper control i suppose - except understand this is a car designed n built in the 1990's... so very impressive for it's age...

oh also the dash has a touchscreen stereo, tv, dvd, gps and satnav station (again not applicable because prev owner retained his aftermarket stereo so i have to buy a newie - which iw as going to do anyway, again... lpackage stereo was very impressive tech for a 90's car but nowadays is out dated

but staples for me are - sunroof (which is optional) and woodgrain (which haters can hate but i like the woodgrain with my gaudy burgundy interior) and full electric seats (slide / tilt / lumbar support with memory settings)

btw - guys if you think my aftermarket sc430 retrim is foul

check out the lexus sc430 eternal jewel interior (final run of sc430)

of which production finishes this month

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues 
    • Yes I as well would like to find out where I could get some of the seat material with the red or blue small squares in it
