on that note.. in the R32's, the thing in the centre console behind the gear stick.. is that a cop holder when you pull the flap up and lock it in?

thats the only thing i can think it is.. cans fit ok, but not perfectly.. stupid design if it is though..

No offense but if any of you have seen "BY BY" which is a UAS car I believe, very few cars are as "JAP" as that.

White, stickers everywhere, GT wing, carbon bonnet, big 18" rims...

btw. I have bronze Rays Volk TE37 Mag Challenge rims coming on my car? Is that too "JAP"?

you say 'jap' like its a bad thing :P

loz is the perfect example of the jap look! :P

gtr80y looks like its going fast even when its parked lol :)

when he was over at my place in the garage of my units, one of my neighbours walked past and went "oooooh going racing are we boys?" :lol:

<rant>

nothing says jap more than a see thru plastic phone holder and matching cup holder jammed into your center a/c vent to the point where the fokin thing crumbles the moment you pull it out and have to wait for years to meet up with OOHSAM to get a replacement one.

Then there's the tissue dispenser thingy in a bamboo box.

And MD/CD Double DIN player with purple (why purple always?) led display.

A pingu thingy somewhere in the car.

Some sort of ioniser thing which creates ozone molecules that bind to smoke particles and neutralises them.

Brace pads on either side of your knees (if youre captain dorifto)

A HKS guage readout thingy in your glovebox which conceals itself when the glovebox is closed (this is very nifty actually, coz u the gauges are there only when u need em)

A Sat-nav thing which again makes no fokin sense except in kanji which sucks coz you can't read anythign but harigana. And the manufacturers never imagined the car ever leaving Japan and don't sell any plugin modules for any other country except korea.

An HKS or Blitz airbox or air filter.

A sticker that says your a member of the Japanese Automobile Community or sumfin (with either 3 to 5 skulls or a dog with a thumb up)

A jap number plate and a authentic Nissan Skyline Jap numberplate surround

A numberplate relocator for the front bumper to allow more air into your FMIC

A emergency toolkit that includes a white flag which you tie between your car and the car towing you or being towed by you so no Japanese men on bikes or on foot try to go between the two fo you.

Oh and the most important one, the Round sticker on windscreen with a big number that tells you what month of what year the car was registered on.

And a couple of other stickers for jap parking permits and automoticve clubs, stickers for every friggen garage that services your car including the local petrol station. And an ETC card to allow you access to something or other jammed way into the recesses of the driver side sun block flappy thingy.

</rant>

oh and if you wanna look dorifto l33t then apply a shitload of bog to the corners of your car, esp the rear corners, don't bother smoothing it out... whack it on and scrape it off in the general angle of the panel.

did you think of this just now or have you done this before eh :P

when i was in the process of respraying my 180, there was a stage that the whole back half was in pink spray putty, after all the back was straight and i hadnt moved up to the doors yet, the doors forward were black still.

I went through a maccas drive through and it was a classic, the guy said,

"been doing a bit of drifting eh mate?"

i wish i had a pic of all the stages my car has been in, it looked like a jap accident.

    • Do the R32s run high or low impedance injectors?
    • It may not feel like it to your wallet....but sounds like this was one of those "lucky you did it" rebuilds. Hopefully you have better luck this time
    • It's aftermarket. It also reeks of Honda Civic tryhard from 2003. But if you want one....then you want one.
    • Well some mostly good news and some slight bad news.  Good news is cylinder 6 did in fact only require a honing and I'm good to run my 86.5mm pistons again. I should also get the block back by end of week. Bad news, had a few surprises pop up. First, main and rod bearings were trashed. No sign of any heat damage. I knew right away what caused this... I had not packed my oil pump originally and spent a lot more time than I would have liked cranking the motor to get oil pressure. It sounded fine once started so I chucked it up to luck and forgot about it. Luckily rod and crank are fine and just need new bearings. Engine builder agreed that this was the cause.    Another surprise that carbon covered up very well that I didn't catch, something got sucked up and went through cylinder 1, 2 and 3. Luckily this was no cause for concern, just needed a bit of cleaning up. Valves look fine but he will vacuum test the head this week to confirm. I'm presuming this was something left over from welding my intercooler piping, but we'll never know. I'm going to thoroughly reclean everything.    So all in all, happy the motor is fine, and I'll get it back much sooner than expected. I'll also be taking the time to convert my WMI system over to direct port. I'll snap some pictures of that when the parts come in. 
    • I understand, thanks. Yeah I wouldn't want the car to tip over, I'll try and use the sills, I don't want to risk smashing the chassis rails. I ordered some rubber pucks that have a hopefully big enough slotting. If the front right gives me trouble I can always just make a wood block. I'll measure and inspect the sills closer once I actually take the car up. I hope so, but the rubber blocks I had in hand so far were pretty damn firm, if they are that hard they won't give much way. I'll let you know what happens. Angle grinding rubber isn't one of my favorite tasks. I'll probably start a build thread soon, for my own documentation and "log" as well as sharing what's going on with the car.
