Got a lend of dads work camera today ;) So good to actually get NICE photos compared to my dam mobile! Anyways I couldnt help myself & chopped my car to perfection if i may say so myself haha.

Anyways i thought I'd post the original, the edited, & the specific edited areas photos so people can try the same things & chop them on their car to see how much it can improve a photo *just like FHM making a woman’s breasts bigger for the magazines :)*

So here they are.

Original

Chopped

Guideline to editing

1. Lower your baby to a level so impractical you'll get stuck on a speed hump.

2. Enlarge them rims. The bigger the better they say *but not tooooooooo big* I did them 10% larger

3. Get that indicator light White instead of Orange, Ties in with the car now :P

4. A Shaven haven always gets restecp so to get that we'll shave off our door handle & petrol cap panel.

5. When you've lowered your car you might have taken away some of the shaddow around the wheel arch so I've added a discreet shadow to make things look normal again.

6. Well i simply dont like the grey/black stripe on the back of the skyline so i've made it white now.

Now to fully exploit the situation make sure *if you can* edit the image @ 300dpi so you can send it into your local car magazine *eg HOT4s* & knock their socks off with your now fully sick ride!

Cheers, :)

Hehehe it looks good aye :( It's ES15 Tint. When I went to get tinting there was pretty much the option of SP or ES tint *seeing I just wanted a dark tint*. SP is like straight black, & SP 05 is the darkest you'll get *the lower the number the darker*. The guy was recommending paying like a little bit more *only like 40$* & get the ES which was the top of the line Executive tint or something? lol. He said you wana stand out of the crowd with something different, & he showed me some pics of cars with that tint :P

Anyway I got it & It's really reflective. @ Night time it's nice & black and during the day a reflective lightish blue / black. Depends what’s reflecting off it. When i get home I can post some more pics of the tint & reflections if your interested?

      R34 power steering

      I have done smoke test and can’t see any leak on high or low side.   checked pump and fluid can flow through. Removed the high pressure from steering and did smoke test and same on low side, no leak.   puzzled. Thinking why if it was all ok it suddenly went as car was off road for a year. Don’t want to disassemble pump yet as i can see fluid / air( compressor) can flow through with no issues

      Actually,  just remembered there should be info in the threads (somewhere) about swapping to a manual steering rack and deleting power steering all together.

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open

      Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.
