FYI, im not sure if s1/s2 dashes are different or not, my s2 airbag bulb was different and wouldnt come out. it had 2 wires connected to a little circuitboard or something. ended up breaking it i think, stopped flashing finally :whistling:

and nice car mate!

just a bit of an update :) landscribble - i got the cluster out and removed the HICAS bulb, at first i thought the air bag bulb was the one with two wires running into it, but the bulb is next to the one with the two wires going into it, so i just pulled it out and all done.

my beautiful girlfriend got me a MOMO deep dish steering wheel for christmas and mum got me some new sony explode speakers for the fronts as they were standard still. all installed and looking pimp.

also took a quick snap as i got out of the car -

^^^^ as you can tell i wound down the front a little bit more, this week i am ordering a HID kit, rear strut brace and front wheel spacers 25mm.

hey mate really nice job inside, i also have a skyline i just got am slowly building up my 33 :)

sorry to seem a bit noob, my first post really.

That inside box under your stereo, what is that called? im looking at getting one of those as my car came with a stereo and a dvd player and want to take out the dvd player.

thanks :)

ps love the steering wheel choice :D

received and installed the boss kit and put my mates genuine momo steering wheel on until i get my one, which is option 1 by the way :) dont like the chrome centre on option 2.

also received bosch 044 so surge tank will be going in soon!

So i took the skyline to Queensland tint Company today for them to work their magic on all my glass, the 33 is now rockin 18% tint on fronts and 5% rears! did a great job at a great price.

here are some pics, also raised the front a bit due to the fronts scrubbing hardcore on the arch.

so i am basically finished deciding on the turbo i am going with, had a chat to dave at JPP the other day and he is running the same turbo on his 2 pushing out mean power with less mods than mine!!

cant go past this for value and proven quality.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Turbocharger-Mitsubishi-Kinugawa-T67-25G-T3-10-cm-/270897143228?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3f12ba5dbc#ht_2548wt_1292

yeah i know, but the more i looked into those turbos the better they started to sound, and the JPP R33 is pushing 439HP with good response and torque out of the same turbo with less mods than my car!

not to mention these turbos are around $1,000 cheaper than a genuine garrett option. there is also a few people on here running the same turbo for over a year now with regular punishment, dave from jpp also has one on his 180sx drift car for over 12 months now still running 19psi fine which made me realise they must be a pretty well built, good quality turbo.

at the end of the day, anything is better than my current T04E turbo but this turbo sounds like the best value for money option.

Kasko: the wheels are a Rota GR6 wheel $990 a set, turns out i didnt like the look of them on the car so i went for the Rota Grid with a polished lip.

sizes are front: 18 x 9.5 + 30 front offset

Rear 18 x 10 + 15 offset :)

slammed, rolled guards and a little bit of stretch.

UPDATE:

I sold my old wheels to a nice guy in sydney which meant i had some $$$ to do some serious wheel shopping, i ended up getting Rota Grids in gunmetal grey with a polished lip the front is 18 x 9.5 + 38 offset but im runnning 22mm spacer. the rears are 18 x 10 +15 offset. i had the guards rolled by mobile guard rolling on the gold coast, he did a great job on all 4 arches, well priced and very much a perfectionist!!

anyway enough with the chitter chatter, here are some pics (took the kit off and cleaned the 5kg of dirt off.

    • Rear doors central locking wiring removed and cleaned. See the first 8sec video of when it’s filled with river silt. its a snip of what I’m up against. front and rear doors complete now. Maybe another day removing carpet and bits and pieces. Then the re assembly begins. 🤙 att.DqweJqhY5MZiZYQDVMhn3LtvdD1RBZ7TBG4f2s7W1zM.mp4 att.lFuN22MZEowqCbFAXoDw009r2gHL76ChMVfxMfBX-uk.mp4
    • There aren't boost creep issues, it's not engineered around the restriction of the cats but if you haven't tuned the engine a full decat + exhaust can flow enough air to run off the end of the OEM load scales and you will get a pretty substantial reduction in ignition timing as a result. I recommend using DFCO, avoiding ignition cut limiters, and avoiding popcorn tunes along with running a cat unless you enjoy a perpetually soot-covered and potentially burnt bumper.
    • Small update, it's been slow moving over the Christmas period with money having to go everywhere thats not my car 😅. I got myself a little present to myself from "santa" in the form of some tidy radiator mounts from fitmint automotive to get rid of the stock ones that look like they have been in an accident before and then straightened by a caveman. I know I should've replaced the rubber bush at the same time but I had no idea how bad they were until I was replacing the mounts. Decided to order their dash mat while I was at it as I feel like I am lucky enough to have a pretty decent condition dash and I don't want to risk it being ruined while it's parked in the aussie sun while I'm at work. I have found another electrical fault to add to the evergrowing list to eventually chase down. Every time I replace my taillight globe it blows within a day of use, I'm starting to think my life would be easier if I took a few minutes to learn how to use  a multimeter 😂.   Had some luck with finding a series 2 drivers headlight on marketplace to replace my mismatched series 1 headlight, a subtle difference but it's nice to have a matching set of lights now.   I returned to the air con problem due to being sick of this summer heat, found a good condition condenser to replace my leaking one! I got it in the car and was happy when I got the thumbs up that the system was now holding gas. Sadly the compressor is not kicking in for some reason, we even tried branching the relay in the fuse box. I have tried to do some research on the issue with no clear understanding of what the fix is, so for now it will be placed on the backburner until I can be bothered to look into the wiring to the compressor. The last small mods I have done was cutting the horizontal vents out of the front bar, not really in a functional airflow sense but I just think it looks better as I am not a fan of the series 2 bar. I also switched the shift knob out for a hosoboyo aluminium grex style one, it has a really nice more direct driving feel than the outdated rubbery oem one. Thirdly, I chucked on one of the ebay bonnet strut kits. The fitment is decent and they seem to work fairly well. They have only given out once while the car was parked facing downhill, I think if I was working under the bonnet I would still put the oem hood stay up to be precautionary as to avoid getting a speedy concussion.
    • Got pneumonia, haven’t played with her in a while, but I’m back now. Previous owners cut bonnet pins into the bonnet. My choice try find a replacement or spend $15 get some pins myself to cover up. Now only one small hole to cover. looks shit now, but when the bonnet is red again. Be good 🤞
    • No R32 GTSt had 15" wheels. 205/55-16 was standard GTSt fare. 4.36:1 is standard R32 turbo auto diff. I think the manual was too, not 4.11. 4.11 and 4.08 were R33 namual and auto respectively.
