Gh05t's 32 Gtr Daily Cleanup

[GH05T]

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


my bride driver seat got delayed but will get here next week so i will have half decent front seats at least.

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



hmmm... ok need a bolt for the seat belt .....




ahah... the totally unused gym...... ah who needs a leg lift anyway.




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

it is so closely fitting its looks like its supposed to be there

yep so this horrible interior situation should be sorted out shortly..... finally.

yeah f**k these things

[Ben C34]

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

[GH05T]

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?

uncool, went to the shop to get lunch today, came out and my rear numberplate had been nicked!

wtf, who does that.

reported it, will order a new one on monday, but the car is grounded at work untill i get new plates.

fkin kids.

[okooko]

flaming mongrels...

[Daleo]

Grab some Torx (pin in centre) headed bolts for the new ones; makes life a bit harder for the scummy little toerags.

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.

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.

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.

old


new


both





on road this is comparison between the fog lights and normal beams

[WantGTR]

impressive.

[Ben C34]

Nice.

How much, where from?

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
