Looking good! So what offsets work on the 8 in rims? Different front and rear?

The width is actually 8.5", and the offset is 45. they sit nicely just a smidge behind the guards. The 235/30 tyres are a bit too slim for my liking, so probably will swap to 235/35 down the track. 

Connected my phone to the factory Bluetooth.  Phone controls on the wheel work too. Noticed the voice recognition understands English but you need to know the names of the menus.......  Anyone got more experience?

Installed MCA Street Performance Series coilovers, Driftworks front upper camber arms (approx. -6 deg in front and -5 deg in rear), Garson Deep Racing Ryugi wheels on the front in 18x11 -22 (have to re-lip the rears from 18x12.5 -22 to the same specs as the front before I can run them), painted brake callipers and installed a sub and amp. Nothing too major but its a start on my static VIP-inspired build.

Brake upgrade on the front completed, they're only little 8pots, 4pots to go on the rears once bracketry is sorted for diameter and offset. 

And finally able to get new rims fitted now that brakes are done and allow clearances

Will look much like this just tidied up. I have to clean up the clear lenses to go over the front to seal it. The light bar is custom from my company I had. They are about 4 times brighter than the stock high beam. The strip across the top is daytime running light and indicator in one. The halos are park lights so will come on with the auto headlights. The flashing lights in the sides are just for when the cars on show. 

It is very hard to recreate the mounting points for the stock HID as I have cut 2 of the 3 off to fit the light bar

Any link to where to get that day time running light? Looks like its made out of silicon?

Aliexpress

Had to cut holes into the panel to wrought the light. It's too long and to attach you need to buy double sided tape and I drilled holes through to use some wire to make sure it doesn't come off.

    • 6 foot 91kg.   Thanks Brett, ill have a look into them!   Whoa 197 haha, I'm about 182 but not that far behind you in weight. My back is probably a little wider than most people my size and weight so I would most certainly need the XL seat by the sounds of it.  The car is insured to drive 1000km a year (might up that at some stage) but it would likely take me at least 5 years before I would ever get close to 15,000km. If I don't buy the real ones I kind of feel like I'm cheaping out though lol Spent all this money on good quality parts every where else just to cheap out on the seats? probably my OCD.  I did find these guys who are more local to me and have copy seats in stock.  https://vosta.com.au/collections/reclining-bucket-seats/products/japan-stadia-ii-gradation Or if I want to go genuine   https://www.carmodsaustralia.com.au/brand/bride-racing/?srsltid=AfmBOooYKfh5btzB8-ezRTTokM0AqQ3GyWKcfutaMRWBzosRLNSFQhLt
    • Good. I was worried we were still talking about the block. Yes, larger baffled sump is a good idea. Do not touch the pump unless you're going on a whole build saga. Read the oil control thread on here - at least the last 100 pages or so. We drew some reasonable things together in there. The short version is that venting the sump is more important than almost anything else you do.
    • Perhaps just get a proper mechanic who is good with Nissan autos (they were more or less the same across all the RWD, FWD, 4WD cars at that time, even if they were actually different boxes) to give it a good going over. He might be able to plug in a Consult or other scan tool and find out if it's got some fault codes. Otherwise, my approach to the problem if not liking the way the auto was workign behind my RB20 turbo, was to drop it on the workshop floor and put in the manual box that it really needed. That solved all the auto problems.
    • Gotcha, I mean that is at least good to hear. Are there signs, or troubleshooting tips to make sure the transmission is operating properly?
