    Rear suspension

    Reset your leafs and get 2" lowering blocks, i got pretty much 5" from standard doing this and its sweet.
  2. Looks awesome from what you have revealed, cant wait to see more pics!
  3. Thats the hell mean project, make sure you keep updating, interesting to see how it turns out.
  4. Wow this car is fuken cool man, pimp as.
  5. So is it just the top of the tyre? Like can your tyre/wheel stick out say 30mm but the top be pushed back under by camber at the top, and the bottom pretty much remaining where it is?

    exhausts

    Got a 2.25" on the Capri with sport muffler in the middle and a carbon fibre rice tip which needs chnaging when I get round to it. Set me back $250 for the exhaust, then another $150 when the sport muffler killed itself like 6 months later and $250 for the rice cannon = ripoff.
  7. Very nice indeed, i like your new bits you have recieved How much were those calipers??
  8. Thats rather interesting, i want it
  9. Oh sweet! Yea, il hit you up on MSN about it some time, because I would not have a clue with the stereo as you know
  10. Thanks man, yea whole point is to make something completly different, combining new school and oldschool in a tasteful fashion that nobody can copy without complete and utter hassle. And alfadog, dont go thinking those S14 caps just bolted on haha, 8 months of work in them and the side skirts! Your cars pretty hawt to alfadog never really paid much attention to the old skylines until I came on here and saw a couple pop up. Defective, what the go with your car??
  11. OK, update time. Recieved my 6 autometer c2 series gauges, have started and almost finished new fibreglass gauge panel that holds 4 gauges, headunit and cigerette lighter. Couldnt fit the whole 6 gauges in the one panel, so 2 gauges will go down to the centre console along with the switches for wipers/dash lights that were previously located on the dash gauge panel, all fibreglassed in and painted same colour as car. Will post pics in a new thread when all done as people wanted me to do a write up of the whole 'rip out old gauge cluster and completly replace' so ive been taking pics along they way and will do so soon. Have adjustable track arms to go in front and will run negative camber (doesnt matter about tyre wear as doesnt get driven a lot) so the a can sack the front wheel into front gaurd for shows etc. New rims are on, 17s, see avatar, running 20mm of spacers on front as they would not clear the 'winders' bits on the adjustables, so running the camber to get the tops back inside the gaurd. Have 2x rockford fosgate amps 2x r.f punch subs and 2x r.f components on their way now, will have subtle boot install for shows etc, tidy up the boot and what not. Just scored some 4-1 extractors off trademe tonight. Picked up a 'mild' ported head off RT the other Monday. Ordering a kelford fast street camshaft, Vernieer adjustable top timing gear, Ford 2000 rocker arm set and High performance single valve spring set off kelford while im at it. Hopefully get some twin webers soon as well. Interior is booked in for full retrim at end of Janurary read: headling, seats, parcel tray, door panels, dash, and anything else you can think of. Colours are not 100% decided upon as of yet, but should look good Whack a couple of more coats of clear on paintjob before april hopefully as well, time permitting. And if you didnt know, im doing all this for the 4 and rotary nats in CHCH April '06
  12. Have searched and asked around evrywhere but cannot find anywhere that sells performance parts for a 2L pinto engine. After things such as extracotrs and what not. If you know somewhere can you please tell me! -Josh

    Wastegates

    Big turbo/low boost = bigger wastegate Big turbo/high boost = smaller wastegate Small turbo/high boost = smaller wastegate small turbo/low boost = bigger wastegate That should pretty much answer it.
