As I understand it, (this may be nonsense or old outdated info) if you wanted to run fixed back buckets you would have to remove the rear seats and belts and reclassify.  There may be a loophole if you run a single driver's fixed back bucket.  

I might be incorrect in that though because I was considering putting a extensive half cage in at the same time. 

I was going to do that but then I found some Porsche seats that @64valiant is reupholstering for me. 

Definitely an easier option to get some modern sports car buckets.

Man there was a set like a year ago on FB for $700, 2500 seems pretty nuts. Look in good nick though at least. 

I kinda want a set of RE AW-7s, but they're probably moonbeams now too

Cold galv the holes. 

What price have they got on them?

I have two sets of those.  No centre caps however. 

Want. 

You recall misinformation correctly.  Generated in the same era when people decided it was impossible for the Japanese to do anything themselves and so all of their tech must have come from elsewhere. 

No. 

L-gata is not a Mercedes copy. That's nonsense spread by idiots. 

Prince did have some licensing agreements for their G-series but as I understand it, it was component not complete and Prince had nothing to do with Nissan during that juncture.  L-gata design and development took place prior to the merger between the companies.

You are definitely more of a square...

Still fairly certain that they're replica Falcon GTHO parts made to fit/just put on a Valiant. 

Aerotech made all kinds of 80s as fuck kits back in the day though.  

Is that a Falcon lip and spoiler? Seems a little out of place. 

It does now! 

You and your assistants to your efforts do good work.  Keep it up. 

It's more expensive now than it used to be as well.  GST and freight costs have made a fairly large impact. 

Swaps for a shitty D21 VG30 5spd double cab beater? 

Oh man. 

Jealous. 

Go around to every FD and ask them if it's a turbo version... 

If they try and explain that all FDs came turbo from the factory then try and argue that they didn't. 

I guess the main aspect would be that Japan is kei/small car heavy. 

It makes more sense that they'd have multi cosmetic options for their smaller counterparts.  People like a bit of differentiation. 

Not really? 

The 90s had a million variants of cars when you look at it.  Nissan in particular. 

Silvias had Js, Qs and KS spec levels and a few other variants here and there. 

Skylines had GXi, GTE, GTS, GTSt, GTS4, GTS25, GTS25t, GTR.  Then all the Autech versions.

Oh? Just said Nissan March on the rego.

Roof was suffering clearcoat loss.

It's still a March just a little sub model that Autech did. 

It's supposed to have different headlamps too.

I’m pretty sure you need 16s. All the skylines and shit are 16 inch wheels

Not all of them.  The povo ones are 15 but the ones that he wants the brakes from are 16. That said, it comes down to barrel design.  Some may work but not many, I'd have thought. 

Daaaaaamn. 

Long time coming. 

Grats!

Some guy asked "does it have a cert for widebody"

Surely this isn't a thing if the parts are bolt on replacement front guards, glued/clipped on bumper extensions, I.e. no welding

 

If the rear quarters have had the arch cut (which they probably should have to be able to properly fit a widebody) then as I understand it, that needs cert.
