cheers Frosty. 1990 Ti model with manual conversion, electrics all work, replaced original cut springs and shocks as it was sitting on the ground and the shocks were 100% rooted.

Sure it looked cool being lower.. but not practical as i couldnt even get in and out of my drive way properly.. eg below (got beached maybe once or twice and the cat got hammered, eventually blew a gasket)

30, more torque, cheaper. decent turbo setup will just defeat a 20... Plus a 30 is already in there?

this.

find a manual conversion kit.

will end up being around the same price as a 20 swap.

just de pigying my 32 fixing all the faults and legalising it :P

if anyone ever has a problem with oil filling there sparkplug galleys in rb##det because of some dead shit thinking gasket goo will do.. ( n i meen fill like submerge ur spark plugs compleatly)

my method was a shit tone of degreaser shove it right in there and sponge it up with a rag and string it out, keep going til its as cleen as u canon all 6 galleys, and then degreaser and compressed air til nic n cleane and leave it to dry i repeted all the prosess 3 times for all 6 galleys that was enoigth, when i was blowing it out i covered up the bay, exterior and window etc completely only exposing the head of the rb, so yeah dont leave ur head covers unsealed corectly for any drastic amount of time guy$ :P i really made sure it was clean i coukdnt risk and bit going into the bore and seizing it when i change the plugs abd it was just nasty and probly somewhat flamible

    • A seat I find stupidly comfortable to sit in is the one in a friend's Merc Race Car. It even has the huge wings that wrap around your head. Best ever. Only issue is climbing through his scaffolding he put up in the doorway of the car... Ha ha ha. I sat in that seat for a couple of hours doing wiring. Another stupid comfortable seat I find, especially if my back is aching, is my OMP fixed back bucket seat too. I'll just sit on it when I'm exhausted in the garage sometimes to relax!
    • I just got off the phone with Dean from Vosta in Brisbane. They are the ones that do the replica seats and they have a shop full of seats for my to try out. Lovely guy.  I haven't decided whether to go genuine or replicas, I'm leaning towards Genuine at this point but who knows.  Also thinking the STRADIAs are the way to go VS the GIAS since they have a lower hip edge and would be easier to get into. Don't really like the idea of arm rests on the models to the right of this diagram either, maybe they can be removed?
    • From my own first hand experience, keeping power for a fun Street able skyline down at a responsive low 200 wheel KW, is the best. It makes it super drive able through the twisties, you're not just smashing mass wheel spin, or only able to open the throttle for a split second before being at absurd speeds. That said, plenty of people like being morons at more than double the speed limit on public roads and hence are happy with 600whp and seeing 200kmh fly up frequently and fast. Also, at that low 200, a GTR can still do a decent quarter mile, and with a bit of fancy  clutch work (foot, not the parts) can still beat many many cars in a traffic light gp, even in the wet.
    • Good news. So it went up to 16.2 volts as per the manual then dropped to 13.6v where it maintains that voltage. The sizzling sound stopped after that. All is looking ok. Car starts up same as usual.
    • As strange as this sounds (as they are fixed back), my Bride Xero CS seats are the most comfortable seats I've used.  I vote go genuine.  The only downside I've found is on very long drives, you can't reposition your body while driving. So even though its comfy, being locked in the same position eventually becomes uncomfortable. I find myself stopping every 3 or so hours to stretch my legs on long drives.
