New country! New whip! (Jap content)
- Thread starter DanEdser
- Start date
More boost awaits!
Personal update - Got a job interview Tuesday!
Admittedly it's only part time at Supercheap Auto (bit like Halfords), but it's better than nothing, will get me working in NZ and get me meeting people
Moar money for mods is always handy

Congrats mate
Does this mean you're slingin' parts for Harry?

Reppin' a tiny local car club/forum aha
New neochrome (looks gold in the photo) handbrake all the way from USA
Thought I'd post what kind of idea I have in mind
Something like this minus the vented bonnet

not a fan of that bumper
I know what you mean, unfortunately the GTR bumper wouldn't fit on my car as the headlights are a different shape and I'm pretty sure there are some other differences which would make fitting a pain too.
Also just to let everyone know I was advised to change my username on all the forums I visit, so I did
The fcuk is Skylife? I did a double take when I realised it was you.
That handbrake looks pretty neat actually.

Haha cheers buddy
It's confusing for me!
Been told having my full name as a forum name can lead to trouble... only had it for over a year and a half...

Went for a meet with the Bwarp lot
(there's only 4 of us in Christchurch, rest are up in auckland/wellington aha)I've never had any issues!
Yeah might change it back, everyone knows my name now anyway
Exactly! Plus you have your Facebook and Twitter linked anyway
and your old username is on your profile!
Cheers
Yes mate, quite a bit, I'll just give a quick run down!
Coilovers, gold Work VS-XX rims, camber arms, decent set of recaro's, vented guards, Stage 1 package (various mods, will get me up to 300bhp at the wheels), front lip (maybe the one pictured above if I don't find a better one) GTR spoiler, maybe a roof lip spoiler type thing, tidy up the interior with a proper pillar gauge mount and retrim my roof lining to something funky. Will all have to be done at the same time, as in New Zealand we have to get our mods certified, and it's much cheaper to get all the mods done at once than to get them each certified seperately.
Who approves the mods? I bet they have a fun job.
An engineer hired by LVVTA (low volume vehicle technical association)
Apparently the ones local to me don't like 'boy racers' which they'll no doubt class me as -.-
Hee hee, it has VVT in it.
Hopefully all goes well mate
Hopefully all goes well mate
Got my name changed back (thanks @Nik)

Nice to see you've found a local scene, loving the s2k. Still enjoying it out there?
Test fitted a friends wheel.
NOTE: The car isnt fully dropped as the tyre was completely flat and we could only tighten the wheel nuts with our hands as the wheel brace/wrench/socket was too big. So with the wheel properly fitted, the car will be lower and wont have positive camber like it does in the pics.
Rays Nismo LM-GT2
17x9 +23 with 215/45 tyre
What do we think?

Stretched tyres are for gheys. Those wheels would be OK if they were painted a dark colour and didn't have that stupid nismo logo on them (maybe the modern logo would look better)
Are you srs? Gherkin. Pls.
I know, I know. But that logo really hasn't aged well.
The wheels do look good though.

Period correct for the car though.
Nah they ones on the floor are cheap and nasty. I think they look pretty good, correct period, nismo, made by Rays and imported from Japan nice fitment too.
I think my current rims are grim. They're FWD offset, mismatched tyres, scrub on full lock on the inner guard/arch liner

Thought I'd see how my Dodo Juice would work on the Skyline...
Shame they dont get Dodo Juice here really, it's fricking good sh*t.
Much shine. Very reflections. Wow.
Needs a good clay bar + DA polish then most of the paint will be looking saweeeeeeet.
Bumper and bonnet is letting it down though Might try getting a small pot of paint and touching in the stonechips with a toothpick.

All those white spots on the front are stone chips? Christ! I thought you'd just driven through a puddle or something after cleaning, but before taking photos.
Yep :/ That's Christchurch roads for you... They're starting to rust too :/ Needs a good bare metal respray.

Loving the car mate
Even with the chips it's awesome :dapprove:
Well these are now mine!
Gonna get a pair for the front ordered from Japan, then depending on their condition I'll either get them all refurbished or just these 2 refurbished as they have some pretty bad curb rash that I tried sanding out, but found out they're clear coated so now I've sanded off most of the clear coat on the lip of one of the wheels.
