[EGG80X]

I havent got any photos of my latest mod......

because I haven't touched my car for months lol

[doofus]

oh speedy, you gotta teach me how to do that!!

[Sp33dY]

oh speedy, you gotta teach me how to do that!!

Do u have a lancer? lol ...... its called, taking part of the dash apart, and replacing the dash wedged globes with wedged led lights :) Simple $5 mod which makes a big difference at night!~

[doofus]

ahhhh i see, but i have tried that for my cluster, red leds, but it doesnt light up as right as yours,

had a help from some people who have done it on there s13, etc, but apparantly the s15 is totally different

:(

[Sp33dY]

Depends a lot on the way the light runs through the dash ... mine has only 2 small lights, but light is then transferred by thick perspex stuff (much thicker than what i had in the echo). It was only the air-con controls ive changed so far .... speedo comes standard red.

[Justin Fox]

Spent more time inside the car.

- Took my Apexi AVCR apart and painted the shell black, then cut away at the ashtray on the centre console so I could fit the AVCR in there instead.

- Made a face plate so that the gaos between the AC/Stereo/Guages is not covered up.

- Moved the 2wd/4wd switch next to driver key/immobiliser.

- Hid the PowerFC hand commander + HKS torque converter in the glove box too, stealthy!!! Also took out the ugly loop pile grey carpet and replaced it with black plush pile (from Melbourne: http://www.knoxautocarpets.com.au).

[Sp33dY]

Very nice Justin ... JDM or EBAYDM Car Mats? :D

[denka]

Is that the Nismo GT-500 Gear Knob justin?

[ozstrider]

Of all those...i think the carpet is the best lol. Nothing like a jet black interior all the way through for a little bit of JDM flavour. None of this blue and white pleather stuff.

[VTECMACHINE]

Wow... Justin car looks ok in pics! But in real life looks soo prOn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love it man!!!

[Philip Lee]

looks good.

is it easy to get in/out with the Bride/Nardi/roll cage??

[Justin Fox]

Wow so many questions lol.

Speedy: What do you think I am? eBay NISMO matts?! LOL, they are the real thing buddy, 5 pieces in the set :)

Denka: Yup! I love it.

VTECMACHINE: For sure man it looks shit in those pics, crap pics!!!

Philip Lee: It's super hard to get out, lol, no harder than my MX-5 was though ahahah!

PS: More mods today, 15mm bolt on spacers!!! Looking fat now but got some rubbing issues so have to roll the guards. I hope hope hope they don't crack my fender paint tomorrow. :(

[A'PEXi]

pics of the spacers installed :D

interior looking great justin, i like the new placement of the 2wd/4wd switch. mats are perfect compliment to the other gadgets inside as well.

[doofus]

justin, that looks Incredible!!! so neat!!!

i remember painted my avcr white for the rex, turned out like shat

LOL

[CC]

[Justin Fox]

Just got a set of these HKS Kansai chassis refresh bars on my chassis :) Awesome design, they bolt up underneath the car to stiffen the chassis (not that I really needed it thanks tot he cage lol).

http://www.hkskansai.co.jp/html/parts/nissan/bnr32/ksn001z/01.jpg

[ozstrider]

Thats gotta be the sexiest piece of strutting ive ever seen.
Got a pic on the car Justin? Or cant you really see anything?

Your R32 must be stiffer than a 13 year old at the strippers by now.

[VTECMACHINE]

[Sp33dY]

OEM JDM LAH .. . Amber is the new clear :P

OLD vs NEW ... will be mountin this amp under the front seat out of the way of valuable cargo space area :) The rear of the wagons been gettin a good workout with the transportation of mountain bikes!

http://www.sp33dy.com/stuff/oldvsnew4ch.jpg

[Justin Fox]

Removed all window tint + strip + paint interior.

http://temp.australianinfront.com.au/skyline_gtr/strip_01.jpg

http://temp.australianinfront.com.au/skyline_gtr/strip_02.jpg

[Gorilla]

nice stuff Justin, did you do it yourself??

[Justin Fox]

Yes sir :) DIY removal of tint (what a bitch that was, Suga helped! :) ) and also DIY strip, tar removal, sand + paint :)

[Gorilla]

Top stuff mate, must of been hardwork, tint AND Sound Deadening removal!!

[doofus]

you did that yourself? that looks like a pro job!

good on ya justin!!

[Justin Fox]

Yeah cheers man. A bit of love aye? As they say, it's all in the preparation!!! I spent more time preparing than painting.

[Dave R]

Jesus! that looks amazing!!!

how much would that weigh ?

[Justin Fox]

Gutting an interior doesn't save that much weight. The tar itself ads up to about 10kg if you remove it from the flor pan and the boot too. I had to get rid of the rear seats in any case, due to the cage. So it paid to neaten it up, so in my case, it's more for looks than weight savings.

[doofus]

man i have to say it again, that looks smick!!!!

[Dave R]

Looks good...

i didnt mean that it saved weight by stripping the car, i was just asking in general :p

(sorry, dont mean 2 sound like a smart ass :oops:)

[IcemaN]

WOW :O thats unreal justine. you give your gtr soooo much loving!!! when will we start seeing mods on the evo?

[Justin Fox]

Mods on EVO = negative.

[shonen]

damn that looks sooo good...especially for a DIY !!!

haha when you said suga at first I thought you meant sugar helped in removing the tar !!

Justin...sell evo = carbon goodies for GTR :P

*cough Carbon, driveshafts, doors, bonnet, boot...etc *cough... :P

[Justin Fox]

LOL shonen, carbon doors + accident = death lol.

[shonen]

Side intrusion bars justin....Cusco make them ;)


Im so smart I suprise myself sometimes...... :P

hahaha...luckily the HKS Kansai cage I want for my car comes with removeable side intrusion bars !! :D

[Justin Fox]

I was thinkin that too man, but just couldn't do the CF doors, as much as I would have liked to (a set went cheap recently on SAU!).

[benxxx]

I have done a few recently, two are still on the way though, I'm dying to fit the new CDI and get it on the dyno

[Justin Fox]

Crazy vids man!

[satanic]

Newest modifications for the bitch:

Nismo Radiator Cap 1.3bar
40mm Triple Core Alloy Radiator

Relatively cheap November...

[R-Tune]

Justin,

Looks great.

FYI

You may want to consider putting a harness bar into the cage. I had the same set up in the S15 ( Cusco cage , harness bolted to floor) . Got pinged at a supersprint recently for the harness being straps being over 45 degrees it does not comply with CAMS apparently.

[benxxx]

Crazy vids man!

Thanks Mate, I wanna buy a proper cam with some decent memory and record some real roads :D

[Alanski]

lol, thats very nice indeed. video was awesome.

[benxxx]

w00t, fitted the CDI this arvo, Bike goes heaps better now, cleaner and quicker revving more mif range, even lifts slighty banging into second :D

I gave my mate a ride and it does better mono's now too, I'm just too scared to try them haha

[Gorilla]

Ohh, so it can be bolted to the wall (Firwall for my car) as ling as its under 45 deg??

[Justin Fox]

Yup that's a cams regulation. R32 GT-R's all over the world use the same set-up as me though, even the ones in Group-A racing. I don't see the problem with it and have not measured the angle myself. Will do ASAP.

[A'PEXi]

looking good justin, did you use dry ice or heatgun? or something else? :)

[Justin Fox]

Heatgun :)

[Sp33dY]

New amp is in, and hides stealthily under my front seat .... very happy :)

http://www.sp33dy.com/stuff/amp_in.jpg

well if it does, after a spirited drive on my local windy road on friday night i ended pretty much snapping it in half... its not that loud, at least under 1000rpm... or when the car is off...

[Sp33dY]

Fuck man ... where do i buy the same kinda money tree u must own!

[Sp33dY]

That zorst looks ..... loud and free flowing. lol

Is here a Muffler before the CAT at all ? I can see a muffler/car/hotdoggy thing ...

[VTECMACHINE]

Yeah looks louder than ur old one! hahaha. Nice tho man. I have always, and will ALWAYS love your car!

[Buddy]

same noise as old one.. there is cat, one muffler... pipe! there used to be a hotbog thing but now its gonee!!

[VTECMACHINE]

[nath]

It's also possibly the rudest thing I have ever heard at full throttle..... even 6 car lengths behind with the stereo up. : )

Ha ha.

[nath]

Oh... and there's sparks too!

[VTECMACHINE]

sparks?? flammess... or sparks?

[nath]

Sparks over OPH bumpy bits.

[VTECMACHINE]

Ohhhh!!!! how was it? I'm so tired man... but can't sleep! I had a spirited drive with a blue BMW, with alpina stickers everywhere on the way home. My god it was slow

[Omawari_San]

That exhaust looks hot. I wonder how something like this would sound on my WRX.

Latest mod here: A cheap gearknop I bought for 25€. In cheap fake-carbonfibre-design.

(Bought it on a car show last week, because I didnt want to leave without buying something....)

[Sp33dY]

I put on a factory optioned oem strut brace .... ended up being cheaper than a whiteline one, and it actually made a huge difference! Im happy :)

The same diffuser. Yes it makes the side-skirts look weak as the front bar is so much lower and more aggressive now. But you have to remember it's not just about looks. It is a diffuser after-all, not just a lip.

[Justin Fox]

PPS: You can see I've scraped my OEM lip as it is, on a ripple strip at Wakies. Man if I come off again with this diffuser on I'm pretty sure I'll total it :(

Any ideas on what to do to perhaps make those scratches on the plastic OEM front lip a little less standy outy?

[Sp33dY]

Careful with that looooww diffuser on the roads! (Ive heard Sydney roads are notoriously bad for potholes!) .

[doofus]

damn that hot justin, very very nice!

Magquairs paint cleaner!! :) I had huge scratchs on my car... used the product and woolah! GONNEEE!!

[felixR]

that's hot! :)

[xero]

justin is that scratched bit like the old skool black plastic bumper stuff?

if so you could, sand it back a bit, and paint it with either black undercoat or cheapo matt black paint... or both...

either way it should blend well with carbon bottom lip...

[Justin Fox]

Yeah it's just plastic. I don't really want to paint it. I might try some plastic polish.

[2GU UP]

i want a rear diffuser for my car :(

[Justin Fox]

Peter at bodyform is making them Anthony. Top Secret style. I think they look kinda ugly though, not exactly something which follows any sort of lines that the car makes... but hey, function over form.

[2GU UP]

im getting to the point where im gonna make my own
then get it remade in carbon cause i want one like the mines R34

i think the R32 looks shit from behind cause you can see the fuel tank and stuff
its all 15 year old crap so its all looking pretty old

[Justin Fox]

2GU UP: The Mines car uses an aluminium ARC diffuser. And PS: You could always remove that ugly ass fuel tank altogether and put one in the boot. I'm thinking about it :P

[2GU UP]

if i didnt have a boot install i would ;)

[shonen]

Justin...nice diffuser......how low is it to the ground now ?

Id be so paranoid with that on the track though.....

once again...N1 lights FTW !!!!

[Justin Fox]

At the height the car was at (1 finger gap) the diffuser was on the ground. LOL. I've had to raise the car up. :(

[black200]

i still think you should get a diffuser to hang on your wall justin haha

[Deviliss]

I have started the New year off with a bit of a engine bay BING on my 1.5L!! :)

Sold Takatas (too bling) got my Willans Club 4x4 3inch harnesses yesterday at Revolution Racegear. New batch too (2012). Not the fancy quick release alloy lightweight latches though, still, work just fine!

http://www.elise-shop.com/images/WCLUB4X4LOW.jpg

[A'PEXi]

how much did they set u back justin? :D

[Philip Lee]

On the way to my place :)

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f385/andywana/Ausgaming%20images/07010201.jpg

i want toooooooooooooooo

[Brian_J]

sold my carbon bonnet :(

got a rear strut bar though

[Justin Fox]

That mania intake for the MX-5... you will love it. Sounds so damn good. Best intake mod, sound wise, of any car I've ever owned.

A'PEXi: Harnesses were given to me at a special price for 2 sets before new years as they were the old bunch. But when I went to the store they had sold out of the old batch and only had 3 of these new ones (2012 expiry). So absolutely not a dollar less. I paid RRP on these ($445 each) which is still a lot cheaper than Takatas and suits my interior a lot (ie: invisible).

I tried it on last night after setting it up and I can definitely say that I've never been held in so tight before. It's totally different to the 2inch lap belt style harnesses. Only thing negative is the fact that the wider 3 inch straps really cut into your neck and I can see that getting super un-comfy on a track... so I'll have to buy a set of shoulder pads.

[EGG80X]

Willans Ftw Justin!!

[A'PEXi]

Thanks for the info justin, great price too. Theres a shop here which sells them for a fair bit more (I think around the $600 mark?) which is prob. what a new takata costs...

[xero]

...Only thing negative is the fact that the wider 3 inch straps really cut into your neck and I can see that getting super un-comfy on a track... so I'll have to buy a set of shoulder pads.

justin, shoulder pads ppffff... just get new shoulders!!! derrr...

[Justin Fox]

A'PEXi: They could be the same ones but with the lighter weight alloy buckles.

[A'PEXi]

are these the same? i took a photo of it (was $545 to be exact...)

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b245/hks28/aaaa.jpg

[Brian_J]

just ordered this for the car

of course..i still have to save up to buy gauges though, but i saved $50 (from 6 months ago) from the strong aussie dollar

[VTECMACHINE]

http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/7864/1244309358los8.jpg

Hasn't lost any more then upto 10RWKW id say as it can still hold it down for a 2.0L turbo . will be at the toymods dyno day this weekend to verify this.

Love it or hate I've got it now.

[Gorilla]

ohh noees.....not a fan Mikey not a fan! But hey, if you like it...dont care! Not a fan! hahaha

[project2]

they were cheap anyway you get what you pay for :p

$2,200 with lifetime manufacturers warranty for cracks! Im down with that! rather then paying $3,000 for a set of JDM RAYS or Gramlights which a few of my friends have had crack and are left with no warrantys at all.

its something different to try for now :D bling bling! vip spec haha

[2GU UP]

I received a delivery of parts from Japan this week and fitted just a couple of items on Wed night. Took about all of five minutes to fit them both, sorry about the picture quality they were taken with my mobile.

Syms Racing windscreen wipers, note how there are extra aerofoils which dovetail perfectly with the OEM aerofoil on the driver's side wiper arm.

http://www.prosperion.com.au/rod/xt/dsc00058.jpg

Cusco radiator panel, the theory is sound but I'm not sure these things actually work. They do look cool however in a nice anodised blue and it is a perfect fit.

http://www.prosperion.com.au/rod/xt/dsc00052.jpg

http://www.prosperion.com.au/rod/xt/dsc00054.jpg

Strangely, my MX5 has heaps of JDM gear but I think these are the first JDM parts to adorn the XT. Without even realising it everything else has been OzDM so far.

But you've gotta love the OEM fit and quality of JDM goodness!!

thanks
Rod

[Cazal 856]

Don't have pics, but I got a set of HKS Hipermax-D's for my g/f's S14. They feel very stable and very controllable when the rear end starts moving around. Very easy to steer on the throttle. Just needs a set of 33 GTR wheels and a decent kit now. Oh, and a 1.5 way diff. Thinking about maybe one of those Tomei TRAX thingswhatsits.

[kula]

the tomei diffs are great, but 2 way only.

[rukus]

yea mine are 20"
i wanted 22" on the back but AMEs dont come in 22"
even if they did you can't buy original ones anymore

only thing stopping me from going 22s is finding a rim i like

I don't understand why people get extremely large wheels? It doesn't look good for 1, then performance is crap... i just don't get it.

I reckon big rims on a smallish car looks horrid to say the least. 20" for an R32 is the biggest i'd go if i wanted a show car, but anything larger would look... dirty. But hey, that's my opinion. 33 and 34 on the other hand, 22" may suit them better as they're bigger cars.

It took me a few months but i decided to go for 17s over the 18s, but then i had to get 18s because 17s weren't available for ages - price wasn't the issue here at all.

Met a guy with a dark green late 80s or early 90s jaguar with 24" rims on it (yes 24" on normal sized sedan!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ). Looked quite off, but he seemed proud that he spent over $5k or $6k(!!!!! :O) and proudly saying 'bro i got 24s'. "Yeah, wow, but it doesn't mean it looks good!!" (car was sitting like it was on high heels or something! - wheels couldn't get tucked in any more either).

I appreciate good paint jobs, clean bodykits, and nice interior, but I suppose I'm just not into this American "massive rim bling bling" thing.

(sorry turned into a longer post than i first anticipated)

Just because YOU think that, doesnt mean everyone else does.. >_>

[s_vtec]

alanski- my brother had 22s on his hilux aswell same colour, and yours a turbo diesel aswell :P lol same as my brother

[rukus]

Just because YOU think that, doesnt mean everyone else does.. >_>

yea this is true. but i did state that it is my opinion.

just really grinds my gears when i hear people brag on about rim size like they're talking about their doodles.

is there a reason why people brag on about wheel sizes or is it only for 'looks'. maybe i missed that memo. i would like it explained by someone who's into large size wheels cos i'm fascinated to find out the reason behind this. doodle size/how much money you make/the bigger the wheels the bigger the gangsta or pimp/etc..

[rukus]

alanski- my brother had 22s on his hilux aswell same colour, and yours a turbo diesel aswell :P lol same as my brother

big rims on trucks suit them.

[Justin Fox]

Not adding to the argument but bigger rims perhaps look a little better than rims that are too small. And I know on the GT-R bigger rims than stock (stock on the R32 GT-R was 16inch) is faster too around a track (wider tyres = more grip).

I do think that big rims look good. If you look at concept car sketches for example... most of the sketches show big massive rims. Even concept cars have massive rims and if you look at cars over the years... rims just keep getting bigger and bigger on production cars. 21inches is almost normal now on many Euro luxury cars.
