Latest news is - M.O.T passed beginning of april which is good. Got myself an arch roller, put a slight flare on the rear arch and took the camber back out. Lowered the front, had to remove a locking collar to get this low. Bought an SAFC2 installed that, not had it setup yet so just using it for monitoring at the moment. Will most probably get it mapped when i get a Z32 AFM and larger flow injectors. Which will most probably be my next items as Paul at JDMgarage recomended, as he doesn't think I have a standard turbo, it may be a rebuilt standard. Removed the carbon cannister aswell. doesn't look much different but I'm going to post pictures anyway!
Latest news, Fitted an oil catch can, also fitted an AEM wideband lambda. I need opinions on whether I should go lower or not, if it was up to me, I'd say lower. The front at least needs to go another half inch lower, but I am told I'm a bit of a nutcase. A little over 4 fingers of clearance from the chassis rail to the ground, which is around 3 and a half inches. I'm hopefully going to start fitting a hicas lock-out bar in the next few days and I've got a nice looking front lip on the way from Japan.
Fitted a hicas lock out bar a few weeks ago, removed all of the hicas rubbish, pipe lines, pumps etc. Last couple of days i've been attemping to fit a 32GTR front lip to my bumper, as i felt it needed something extra. It's not brilliant but I think it looks alright.
Thanks ditry-diesel. Although the GTR lip didn't look too bad when it was on I wasn't keen (and it lasted all of about 5 minutes, it hit the deck coming onto the drive and cracked again, which I knew would happen) I had a TBO front lip on it's way from Japan (finally) that was actually made for the GTST bumper. Fibreglassed it into one piece and had a quick look at what it'd look like. Much better. Will be painted when I can be bothered to spend ages priming and rubbing down and painting, preferably when it isn't so hot.
Thanks guys! tidytobes - I know what you mean! was the best I could find in my budget, I'm keeping my eyes open for anything I like the look of in 18x9/18x10 with low offsets. They do the job though, it turns heads.
Yup, that lip looks nice, good choice! Nice car mate, not sure how you could get the front lower and turn the front wheels though! (worth trying though! Cutting coilover springs is a winner )
Papercutout - Thanks very much! That is exactly the problem I'm having, the arch already scrapes the top of the tyre when turning as it is, so going any lower isn't really possible but I'll give it a go! Unless giving it more camber would work, I could get R33 lower arms and get more camber that way. As the coilovers are fully low, locking collars removed and all that, I have thought about buying a higher spring rate, shorter spring (or as you say, cut the spring on it now! don't know how safe that is....) scythe - Thanks!
Seeing the unpainted lip I thought it'd look fugly, but glad to say it really does look nice! Good to see a nice looking 32 without it looking like a GTR.
Thanks Blaze! Although I do like the GTR front, I wanted to be a bit different. Only thing I might do is a GTR bonnet or cut the extra bit off of mine, not really sold on that yet though. Think I might start looking at a set of side skirts, maybe Do-luck or something.
its looking sweet with that new lip and painted black instead of white! im thinking of doing something diff with mine in the future, mines white and im thinking of having a black band like a few inches wide along the bottom of the car to go with the bottom lip ive got on my front bumper!
It was khany, yeah. It wasn't as busy as usual, think people would rather stay indoors and watch F1, was still a good day out though.
Neither do I really, I think I might just leave it where it is, can't really be bothered with even more hassle to jack it up and breaking things just driving down the road. I might just go for a 215/35 when I replace the front tyres to lower the front a bit. I shall be getting skirts at some point, can't decide between Vertex or Do-luck, think i'm swaying towards Vertex. I'm looking at turbos aswell, mainly the HKS GT2530/2540. Think that's the future for me.
