got it cheap cos it was dirty and small hole, will do for passenger.

got my detailer friends to clean it up for me. god it needed it.
not properly dried yet so haven't refitted.

driving round with no passenger seat is weird. my mate sat in the backseat in extra legroom limo mode and loved it :P

ok, spend a frustrating arvo putting in the drivers seat.

so for a start took out the old GTS seat and the major obvious difference is the shear weight difference.

the old seat weight compared to the new CF backed bride.

(yes its just a rep)

now, this might have been obvious to most, but i never realized and never thought of it, but the rails which fit these do not slide forward and back.
and i cannot see any simple way of attaching stock rails?
im assuming i can buy sliding rails to suit brides yes?

anywhoo

happy that i can adjust the pitch of the seat and it now sits well, heaps more headroom, not hard to get cumfy

Another un-thought of side affect, the seatbelt is tucked right down there... can you get extensions??

also f**k this bolt.... not easy getting a bolt in somewhere its totally shielded from

anyway, its in and im happy. its snug but comfortable and looks a little better than a gtst seat :P

I'm sceptical the bolt from the gym was the correct pitch. I suppose you got it in there, but that's dodgy as considering even if it is the correct pitch, it certainly isn't rated the same.

But looking at the shonkyness of those rails it probably wouldn't bother you ;)

Its most definitely not the propper bolt but did fit fine fir now, it will be changed shortly to follow all others to shiney high tensile gear, and i will be grabbing a sliding bride rail soon enough too. I dont often f**k about with safety.

While its off, where do i buy a good seat belt extension. Not the double up buckle type but a propper flexible mounted stalk kind?

ok, i love light and i hate stock skyline lights, their just shit.

i did replace the old bulbs with the brightest i could get which were the phillips 4000k halogens. their still shit, slightly less yellow but the light is atrocious.

i don't have the projectors as i have N1 lights which are rear reflector so i wasn't a fan of xennons,

Xennons have a bad habit of throwing light poorly in reflectors as the light source is coming from a few mm or cm further away due to the longer light tube.

however i found a new type of LED H4 bulbs which i purchased.

20150925_123439_zpsxqzvch15.jpg20150925_190945_zpsvbe0rntw.jpg

these actually center the low beam the same as stock lights and the high beam properly for a longer throw of light. also yes they do high and low beam in one unit.

as you can see, properly placed light source in comparison to the stock bulb.

low beam closer to the base and highbeam further away.

20150925_192151_zpsfi6citk4.jpg


and their bright. slightly brighter or very similar to a good 6000k Xennon but no warm up, no heat and flicking high /low is instant.

this is the comparison as best as my phone could capture, it is adjusting slightly more for the brighter white but you can see in the 3rd shot which has both beams on, it drowns it out. remember this is the best philips white bulb i could get.

so tires are slowly wearing down, i dont really wanna run 17s anymore so picked up a set of XXr 527 in chromium black,
18X9.75+20.

what tire size to run im not sure yet. 265 could fit but not sure if i wanna run that on the front and i wanna keep it square.
what would a "decent" tire size be do you recon?

also, anyone interested in the enkies? 17X9+22 :)

      R32 GTR EV? The leaf of the Godzilla's!

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.

      Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise

      Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch
