Have had a shitful cold all last week and given what's on my agenda this week, I spent most of the weekend specifically dedicated to trying to kick it.

 

Didn't get a heap done on the car but did manage to get the splitter to a point where I'm happy.

 

Ran some M8 all thread down through the inner guards and lined up with the existing holes in the bottom of the guards and into the splitter. Seems a lot firmer now.

 

Added some little gurney flaps on each side, see if that helps at all.

 

I'll try and get stuck into the wheels a bit more this week.

So, car looks fat now, I love it. 

I put a vote to my mates and the consensus seems to be centre caps yes, stickers no, which I'm inclined to agree with, though there is something I like about no caps. 

Guard flaring required looks less dramatic when i put the rim back to -3.5 camber, but I still want clearance to be able to lower the camber for tuning purposes. That will be the next step. 

Inner clearance is less than a finger width, but I can't see the tyre moving around that much?

Inner guard plastics are going to get gobbled up a little and the passenger side has my BOV and a vac hose that's at risk, I might have to drop a little castor out.

Yeah it's not quite as bad as I thought.

I'm flat out with work and home stuff but I'll try and line up my panel beater to come take a look and see if a guard flare will be enough. I can get a guard roller easily.

A small bolt on flares could be easier, and maybe look cool?

I can only find big bolt ons, like 40mm.

Hey Dan! Just read the thread. Car is coming along nicely and looking pretty good! GTR project also looks great!

Great to see you picked up the AR1's. Will be interesting to see the difference, I'm betting it will be substantial to your previous setup. I've read they are very good and was considering them in the 295 size.

Will watch on with interest [emoji4][emoji106]

Yeah mate been a while! Have had so many things on the go recently. I'm os at the moment on holiday.

The car made 512rwk on 34psi with full boost at 4300rpm on JEM dyno (conservative tune) so quite happy!

Still more things to do as there always is. Plan on taking it to the track soon, hence the AR1 interest. All in time!

    • 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.
    • Well found out it’s a 60th anniversary gtst from that it came with 205-55r15
