Possibly just before I did the carpets :spank:(thanks Nick for pointing that out..haha)..I bought a power FC off a guy on here (thanks Calaistur) oh n the hand controller as well.

The car went in for a tune (thanks Brett) and three / four hours later she came out transformed.....

I miss Brett so much....top bloke..and spent so much time on my car..really loved that I loved it..if you know what I mean...we had conversations about the car and possibilities for hours on end...and I learnt so much from him its not even funny

This is just one small snippet....(its my phone so yeah..sorry)

hahahaha.....jonno....il photoshop it :nyaanyaa: nah man...il put up a side view or something.....or then again i might jus put up a close up of the dent and tell everyone about how bad a driver you are :spank: hahahhaaa....

In other news.....This is Night Fury on the dyno for the first time

All tuned and raring to go she needed to sit lower...you can commando crawl under a stock skyline !!

This was after the new super low King springs. Shocks were in good nick so kept them. Ride was surprisingly smooth (Keaton, Tim and Anthony if he remembers can vouch for that I hope??) and she seemed to "hug" the road better...possibly an illusion because I was now sitting closer to the ground...hahaha..but yeah..it helped both with the drivability and more importantly the look.

Interior time again..............

Next project...dash lights.....Was sick and tired of my dull and boring speedo....SO impressed by my uncles bright orange speedo in his Jazz !! Decided to do something about it...

Contacted 666DAN (on here) and ordered a set of bright green LEDs...

Fitted them on with Jonno and his dad's help...thanks so much fellas :thanks:

Only pics I had..so dont hate me :mellow:

Dull and boring stock lights on dash

This is the finished job..the pic doesnt do it justice because the flash is so bright you cant really see the green....but trust me...its A LOT brighter and a lovely electric green. I loved it :wub:

I loved my plates.....they are my name after all....:nyaanyaa: However there was a certain thing about them that I wanted to change. I hated the white border around them and wanted to change the entire plate to jet black so that J E Z stood out clearly in white...

Easier said than done.....thought on the lines of "just painting them myself" first...but good thing I checked with the authorities...in a nutshell its illegal....and so was taping it with black tape etc (which I wouldnt do coz it would look tacky)

So began to think on the lines of getting a "number plate protector"....try finding 5 digit ones in W.A....NOT an easy task I assure you. After months of searching I finally managed to get them from over east and 35 bucks later I went from...........................................

Better?? :yes::no:

The R33 isnt called a whale for nothing.....Night Fury rolls a lot into and out of corners....Also I dont have a bucket seat so I feel the roll (if you can relate to what im saying) and I really have to hang on when im doing a schumi through a roundabout. I thought a strut brace would add some "rigidity" and also serve as aesthetic appeal....quick touch to spruce up my engine bay.

So I got a "special one"...................

Carbon Fibre and it matches my rims :banana:

Not the worlds difference feeling wise..:/.....but I swear I seem to hold lines a little better......

blush.gif nothing at all!

Im not Picasso but I did get an A in art.....so I thought of a few things I could "touch up" on my car and before long I found myself into hardcore DIY.

First up...window trims.

Before and after pics

Not the best quality job however (not noticeable to the naked eye); because I wasnt introduced to MR SANDPAPER....but very cool nevertheless.......:thumbsup:

Notice how the window thingo is brown...that was the original factory colour...I wanted it black :) oh and I wanted it black bad...hahaha :rant:

221120101129.jpg

Taped up around it..and decided to touch up all the trims while I was about it.....basic masking tape...doesnt spoil the paintwork

080420111446.jpg

Best pic I could get of the finished product (at this stage)..will put up more

CIMG1942.jpg

I also painted my window wipers...was quite a good job I must say :whistling:

My painting endeavours were extended to encompass

My engine bay

My bonnet (underside)

My boot (underside)

Boot trims

Door trims (inside)

Some pics of the process

BTW...Thank you derek for the wrench set :thanks:

Bean bag comes in handy.....sheet holder !!

(seat covers were being washed in case anyone wonders why they back to stock)

Sorry mom I hated that tee :devil:

DSCN0203.jpg

This was a pic of the bonnet BEFORE I painted it...was worried the sound deadening thing would get affected if I painted over it...but NO issues to date..so yeah..its safe to paint. I also used high temperature paint so that could be the reason why.

DSCN0213.jpg

I painted my dash.......had to be extra careful I didnt paint over any important bits :blush:

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
    • Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
