Ok so I bought some Defi gauges. 60mm white Oil Temp, Oil Pressure, Water Temp, Tacho with the control unit. Don't really want the tacho but the guy wouldn't seperate lol, so if anyone is after one I'll be selling one soon.

I plan on mounting them in the stock gauge position so if anyone has pics of theirs installed that would be great. I've been told a bit of creativity with the brackets is needed.

ive been wanting to do the same thing but wasn't been able to find a right up/how to for swapping the gauges. if you do end up doing it could you please show how you did yours. that would be great thanks :)

though beautiful car though mate been following your build for a while now :)

  • 4 weeks later...

Small update, still haven't fitted the Defi's, soon hopefully haha. My plan is to fit an oil cooler at the same time so I think I will do it at next service as to not waste the oil in the car.

I went to my local exhaust shop and got him to make up a new straight through pipe to take out the mid muffler in my exhaust, it isn't all that much louder, bit more crackly which is nice. I have kept the old section though so if it ever becomes an issue I can just switch it back on :) . The guy also fixed up a bracket on my dump pipe too as there was a lot of movement in the exhaust as the first bracket was down near the diff.

Bought a pair of Rota P45R2's in 18x9.5 +20, due to having buckled one of my rims back at Wakefield, they should be here soon I would hope. I will buy another pair when I have more money lol. I know everyone isn't a fan of Rota, but with wanting to drift my car I don't want to spend lots of money on wheels only to ruin them at the track.

Will be attending some hill climb events at Mount Panorama on the 1st/2nd March, pretty keen for this. Plan is to hopefully do clutch/flywheel after this but before the motorkhana at Easter, will have to see about funds though :(

Also, my housemates girlfriend is into photography and wanted to try out some HDR style shots using my car so I got a friend with a R33 to come along too and below is a couple of pictures she did :)

pretty sweet editing with the photos they do look great kudos to your housemates gf for excellent shots

as for rotas well..not everyone has a bank account that can afford volks or work etc etc.. plus theres no point (in my own opinion) spending that sort of premium for a not so aggressive gtt fitment haha :) im looking at getting a set or rotas theyl be just cruising wheels and my stockers will get the abuse.

awesome as always mate :D

Cars looking good Tim

What colour did you end up getting them? I went hyper black with mine :)

Got a pic? I'm going to get my rims resprayed gloss black but curious to see what hyper black looks like

Send me a PM instead, that way we don't mess up Tim's thread :P

Yea will post pics this arvo when I fit the new ones too.

They will fit no probs, if you've lowered the car a bit you will need to roll the guards but not flare, as long as your camber isn't anymore positive than -1 :P

    • Hi again all, I’ve tried doing some searching on the topic but couldn’t find the answer I’m looking for.   I deleted my clutch booster because it had an air leak and was squealing like a hog, and now my clutch has very poor pedal feel and the friction zone is way too small, so I believe I need a bigger diameter clutch master cylinder to compensate for not using the booster. I found a Wilwood option that’s 3/4” for a good price and will fit my 3AN clutch line, but all the firewall adapters I see online such as RB factory or Chase Bays are listed as RWD only (GTST/GTS). Link below. https://rbfactory.shop/products/nissan-to-wilwood-girling-clutch-master-cylinder-adapter My question is if these adapters will also fit a GTR, and if anyone has experience using a 3/4” CMC without the booster, my clutch is a Nismo coppermix twin plate.   Thanks, always appreciate the advice!
    • Catching up on a post, I've replaced the external shark fin with a small 4g antenna (no further drilling, just a 1mm embiggening of the existing hole, and run that to where the dual battery models have the battery in the left rear guard.  No idea what the factory antenna did, but removing it had no impact on anything I use, according to the US manual the GPS antenna is in the dash and it still works fine Also ended up stealing battery power from one of the amps and ACC power from a unit nearby to add an ACC relay to power it. The mounted the booster, wifi, power socket and antenna splitter in the rear left guard out of the way, all out of site with the boot trims in
    • What drama? The only drama you're going to have is the near constant work to maintain all those sphericals. I only have sphericals in my front caster rods and front upper CAs (because both of these are near compulsory in an R32). I have had the front arms out of my car 34 times already this month, and if the new replacements arrive today, I will have them out and apart again tomorrow. Chasing clicking and clunking that comes from sphericals being a.....poor choice for a road car. Moisture and dirt are not their friends. I have been contemplating a change to my rear subframe that would require me to use sphericals in my lower CAs. And.....I don't want to have them that close to the road.
    • Did you need anything else you've already done? If you had it before... and liked the changes after, then supposedly it'd be more of the same. The idea about most suspension arms is to tune geometry that the OEM arms max out at/can't handle because they weren't designed to have the car setup in such a way that 'looks good'.
    • I have replaced everything on my r34 including suspension to Miester R, all rear subframe bushes to poly, all arms to metal adjustable and same in front.   only thing I haven't touched is the front lower control arm. Should I? what improvement can i expect ? I mean the one on the link below?   Car drives perfectly, it is just me thinking everything is either puly bush or hard bearing type so should also do lower control arm front but do I really need it ? https://www.japspeed.co.uk/product/suspension/adjustable-arms/nissan-200sx-s13-s14-s15-skyline-r32-r33-r34-adjustable-suspension-front-lower-control-arms/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAo5u6BhDJARIsAAVoDWs5V_PauQPf0kx3zFCaA4tOC9Q7JSIsfJWma_jAPN2f1sJA686djOwaAidgEALw_wcB
