LOL! Read that completely wrong. I thought you paid $100 for a set of tyres!! I thought "Do you even grip?".

I got a screw in one once, drove on it for a while just tightened it when it was leaking lots lol.

Hahaha yeah i tightened the offending screw when i jacked it up to put some spare 17" i had sitting around (to match rolling radius') but found that my nuts were too big...

So i'm glad i found some cheap 19" tyres a few months ago.

Finally made a steel cargo barrier for the boot in the stagea (instead of the original leather one) as the wife was going for a bit of a drive with lots of stuff in the back.

For anyone who is interested, the top metal rod of the normal one is 13mm - I used a half inch (12.7mm) solid rod which clipped in just fine, with a 20mm by 20mm steel tube for the bottom, and 3.15mm thick 50mm by 50mm mesh welded between the two for the middle.. :-)

Well finally had a bit of shed time! Fitted up rs4s rear cradle and 2way lsd, and whiteline rear sway bar , adjustable camber arms front and rear, hicas lock bar , r33 rear brakes and t3 rotors to match front , greddy rear strut brace. Wired in full race ets pro altessa controler as a stand alone unit, got the recaros in and bolted up, slid some nice new wheels under with some substantial 265 rubber on the back , connected and mounted my innovate motorsports lambda meter and put in some jtc n1 coil overs, and put on carbon ganador mirrors

Now just a wheel align and all good , when we get a bit of cool weather ill go and do some more tunning and turn boost up and water/meth injectionpost-76904-0-45997100-1390659802_thumb.jpg

Such a shame you didn't get much done... :whistling:

Sounds like it'll be almost a different car! It's looking damn good too.

Nice! Did you find a lock bar that bolted straight up or did you have to do a cut and shut job on one to fit?

Fitment stance style with grip :) 18x10 +10 with a 265 on it very little stretch only -1.5 deg of camber , nice big contact area for grip, only rolled gaurds no pumping or manipulating ! A very happy boy

My wagon is back in the shop as of this morning to sort out the exhaust (it's almost head-ache inducingly loud), some light-throttle tuning and a few small niggles here and there. Something was causing some restriction somewhere, so hopefully the exhaust sorts it out while still reducing volume. They're sourcing a new muffler from SMB, and apparently an SMB muffler has been used on a 500kW R33 that's still pretty quiet.

    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
    • Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
