ha but i cant leave things alone, only things i didnt like when i bought it was the front bumper with the filled in grill area, and uras rear bumper, so sorced some replacements and now it sits like this.

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG0193.jpg

so seeing as i cant find any rails to suit all the seats im fabing up my own rails that will work with all of them :P

(ill stick up pics of me building the rails again photobucket acting gay)

plans are

finish fabing seat rails, new coilovers, sort out the brakes, d-max style rear lights, might remove rear windscreen wiper, maybe a nice tail and roof spoiler but i think it might look better without?!
then hopefuly summore POWWWWERRRR! :cool:

Bit of a sad update now but heading of to OZ tomorrow :) so undersealed it again, swapped out the coilovers, took off the Veilsides, and thanks to juice for the replacement wheels, and gave it a good waxing so parked up now nice and dry and secure :)

Pics arnt working for some reason buy you get the idea.

So after a long year away Down under :afro: i decided to come home for a few weeks, thankfully i bribed my younger brother with packets of haribo to start it up once a month and give it the odd wash, so was in good condition when i pulled it out.

after pulling it out of the Shed from her dry storage. ;)

so as it is im going back in 3 weeks, its out of test for 10 months and no tax for a year, Its nearly not worth ncting it for the few weeks but i really want to give it a blast, so every spare chance i get im going to get it ready to throw it through the test and see how it goes,

so ripped of the bumpers and with the grinder and wire brush attachment brushed back all the surface rust, etch primed it and gave it a further 2 coats of under seal on basically everywhere but the body pannels so it will be nice and safe parked up again,
Before:

After:
http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/870/imag0952t.jpg

The Veilsides where looking fairly poor, so decided to polish up the lips to a mirror finish :)
Before:
http://img802.imageshack.us/img802/6668/imag0946a.jpg

Took out all the Studs, and started with 320 grit and worked up to 2500 grit wet and dry sand paper, then gave it a lashing of metal polish.

http://img805.imageshack.us/img805/3985/imag0962.jpg

Finished result, came out pritty well but its hard to tell with the rubbish camera pics,
http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/1865/imag0964.jpg

the studs had some ammount of white scum on them comming out and i was told to leave them in Coke for 24hr and it will clean them up... i guess time will tell LOL
http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/9192/imag0965e.jpg

and a throw back of how it was before i left cant wait to get it back up like this again :)
http://img594.imageshack.us/img594/33

whipped out the coilovers, seem to have lost my coilover spanner so i thought it was going to be a nightmare to adjust them, thankfully i fully copper greased them before i left, and they wound up and down free hand with no need for a spanner :)

bit pissed ATM, had a vertex lang front bumper ordered from a guy in england but that seems to have fallen through as he dosnt make them anymore, i have a vvt sprocket and Yashio factory rear lights ordered months ago off ebay neither of them have been delievered yet :mad:

so hopeing to book a test next week chuck back on all the goodies and enjoy it for the few weeks im back :cool:

Super cool!!! The wheels just make it!!!

ali-d1936
09-09-12, 20:48
cheers lads,

truth be told i wasnt fully happy with how the wheels came out, the lips came out ok, but the face on the spokes where still all dull, i considered getting bronze paint and spraying the face and lip flat bronze (still undeceided on this i think it will look good), but decided agienst it, got another pack of 2500 grit paper, and spent 2 hours on each wheel doing every inch of them,

http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/621/imag0970g.jpg

:afro: now thats better

so i have a high metallic silver spray paint that ill finish the center where the nut bolts are and between the spokes and it finished.

then that will still be 2 down 2 to go :)

Wheels came out well!!!

Cheers guys,

have the car all ready for the NCT, exhaust off, standerd shocks in lights and wheels aligned... and now im thinking its a waste of time, pay tax for 3 months, do the test (and it will only get tested for a few months), and insurance company's still want a arm and a leg to insure it even for just 2 months as i will be gone again and it will just be parked up again for another 12months.

so a few ill updates, as i plan on getting a s14 in the coming week for a project car iv been stockpiling parts for it,
so i bought a yashio factory s14 knob and gaitor, loved it so much i was hopeing it would sit on the s15, bud sadly the threads are different non the less looks sweet and will look good in a s14 :o

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG0983_zps56e2a52a.jpg

Next ordered some Yashio Factory stsmokedLED lights

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/Untitled_zpsa1733a58.jpg
Lights on
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG0995_zps08947594.jpg

TBH im still undecided on them... old or new? or might get another set unsmoked??

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/Untitled_zpsd985d4c8.jpg

Opinions?

so then wheels i really want something with more dish, and give the arches a lil roll. missed out on a perfect set of meisters in england twice :mad:

or another option is to buy 4 new Dish Barrels for the Veilside Wheels but i dont know where to go looking to get this done?

So if nothing creeps up in the next few weeks ill be going another route,

18x10 et0 varrasteons white or royal bronze.

http://allthingsproper.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/5465980823_d785bea031_b.jpg

epic looking but not keen on them side on.

http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6056/6336673476_dcfa9d8432_o.jpg

or some humble Rota Torques 18x9.5 +20

http://dudesphotography.smugmug.com/photos/636932784_cgnrV-XL.jpg

SO for now, im waiting for a heap of stuff in the post, mirrors, 2 front bumpers ;) spoiler, and alot of interior bits,

id check back for the next update.. the 2 front bumper thing should get a bit interesting ;)

dil
21-09-12, 08:38

So a little Dilemma.. i purchased This gen bride material because i was going to re-trim the centres on my lowmax's as the graduation was wearing off on me... its a little busy if you get me, but now when im weighing them up the graduation is growing on me again... i can get graduation material also, what do people reckon?

stay graduation? or go for the Black centers...
the seats. as they are with the Graduation Material

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1027.jpg

Bride Black Material
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1016.jpg

horrible picture but you get the idea.
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1024.jpg

this is what it should look like :)
http://images53.fotki.com/v1574/photos/8/899247/6763868/060-vi.jpg
http://images50.fotki.com/v399/photos/8/899247/6763868/059-vi.jpg

if i go for the black, i will be retriming

~the Fabric on the door cards
~Lowmax seat cushions
~then fabric dye the rear seats black, and retrim the centers of the back seats with the Bride materaial also.


but it is a tough one, Graduation material or black material :/ i need opions on this one... :huh:

http://imageshack.us/a/img441/9059/005cnq.jpg

Struck gold and found a guy who was stripping his wheels and replacing them by putting on 6" lips so gave me these :)

best i found was a company in germany who make barrels,
Two 3.5" lips delivered to Ireland is working out at E470. :eek:

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1031.jpg

:afro:
will go back over it again as there are a few rough places where i missed with the higher grades. but TBH it beats paying E500 for second hand scratched lights ;)

now onto the interior :)

fuckn hell the amount of times i used thinners and that never happend! strange wan

rob_180sx
27-09-12, 16:35
same happened me before on an integra with the cracks in the lamps, the joys of plastic headlights!

nice job bringing them back though! took alot of sanding and patience i imagine!

ali-d1936
28-09-12, 15:46
To say it was a stomach wrenching moment when it happened would be a understatement,those s15 lights aint cheap, found out it was N20 thinners, think its different to regular thinners

so started today at the door cards,

First take one s15 door card (pool table optional)

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1034.jpg

Carefully ripped off the fabric,
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1035.jpg

spend hours rubbing off every last piece of foam so the adhesive has something solid to stick to. and mask off the edge.

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1036.jpg

apply the adhesive to both the door and the fabric.

as soon as they touch that's it so you better have it lined up right the first time.

then carfully trim the extra off

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1037.jpg

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1038.jpg

one down one to go,

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1040.jpg

:afro:

has anyone ever used fabric dye before? looking into it for the back seats but cant find anything,

i want something proper that wont rub off onto peoples clothes,

ali-d1936
28-09-12, 22:57
my old gear gaitor looked like a dog got at it at some stage, was torn allover, so with with the leftovers of the doorcards i thought id try and muster something up,

looks like i would just have enough :cool:

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1041.jpg

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1042.jpg

Didnt take long, but i put alot of effort into it and it paid off, red stiched to match the seats and wheel, its not just bride material sown up in a cone shape like iv seen other people do ;)

Sorted the loom in the drivers wheel well Today, was always cautious of it, so i always had that extra 2 inches i could have gone lower but didn't for fear of chewing it up, so i said id tie it up so i wouldn't have to worry about it again,
this is what it looked like it was actually resting on the plastic shield,

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1049.jpg

got to it just in time :cool:
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1050.jpg

pulled it out as much as i could to see what i had to play with
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1051.jpg

cut a notch out so the loom would run along the lip
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1052.jpg

then treated and fiberglassed around the cut metal so it was in no danger of sharp edges cutting into the loom,
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1053.jpg

undersealed everything while i was at it
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1054.jpg

and tied it up with the largest zip tyes i could find :p
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1055.jpg

thats how it should have been done from the factory Nissan :)

where i had cut the notch sits nice :)
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1056.jpg

had to run the bonnet cable under the lip as there wasnt enough slack to bring it over,
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1057.jpg

throwing on the wing i found out i had over done it :mad: the wing wouldn't go back on ... so had to adjust the loom again until it would stop fowling the wing,

still its out of harms way so i gained a good bit of extra clearance.

Dropped the seats in to be retrimmed in the new Bride material Today so ill be waiting 2 weeks :p

then my new lips arrived this morning :o
wasted no time stripping two old wheels and sticking them on :)
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1071.jpg

turns out my old wheels where 18x9 not 18x9.5 so overall width are 18x10.5 now not too crazy up front ;)
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1072.jpg

have 30mm front overs ordered but i think ill be putting them up for sale as soon as they arrive as i will unfortunately be needing 50 mm,

was hoping to stay with only 30mm overs front and rear as i dont like the look of the 50mm overs they bulge too much and ruin the whole look of the car,

so over the next few days im going to have to decide to stick with the plan and run with the comming 4" lips for the rear, or put these on the rears and just run 3" lips up front, and squeeze them under 30mm's

anyone interested in 4" lips if i decide to do that? let me know

First off got Genuine Ganador Mirrors :)
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1089.jpg
spryed them up and stuck them on :)
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1090.jpg
Delighted with them,

then Coulour choice on the wheels where wrecking my head, was going to go with gold or Bronze centers, but thinking that they may cheapen the look of the car i played it safe and went silver,

first dark silver
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1106.jpg

but was unhappy so back to halfords again for another shade of silver

and shating,
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1137.jpg
very happy :)

then polished my bolts, left them on coke for 2 days,
broke down alot of gunk off them,
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1135.jpg

then wire brushed them,
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1134.jpg

then polished the Feckers right up
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1136.jpg

4 hours for 80 bolts :/

so puting these two back together tomorrow and onto the next two, i will be happy to see the back of these wheels, pain in the ass :)

Yea, Coca Cola I'd say, if you ever saw a tooth left in it for a day you'd see how good it is at dissolving stuff.

Car is coming along well, I'm sure the wheels will be worth all the work in the end.

Yes Coca Cola, broke down the Locktight on the threads and everything dose a great job iv herd people using Vineger aswell so when i split the other two wheels ill leave them sitting in Vinegar for a few days and see if its anybetter than coke.

Well i can say that coke is heaps better than vinegar, seemed to have a much harder time cleaning the bolts after the vinegar than the coke,

so got some bushed fully adjusttable arms :)
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1171.jpg

and theyll see me rolling and they will be hating ;)

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1174.jpg

even tho i will 100% be using rear over-fenders, i still want to leave the arches in good nick that if i ever decide to take them off i can go back and run with a rolled arch :) so hoping i can get the arches looking like this and leaving it tight to 30mm overs,

http://i877.photobucket.com/albums/ab340/James106/IMG_3468.jpg

i wont be able to get the turn down in the flare, but ill leave it in a way that i will be able to later on if i want.


also loved the shape of the vents on the Wings i bought, so incase i cant find wings with similar vents i made a quick FGR copy ;)

rub some tin foil on the wing

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1162.jpg

start laying some fibreglass onto the foil

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1163.jpg

couple of layers to give it some strength

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1164.jpg

the let it set and pull it off :)

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1165-1.jpg

its rough so if i need it ill obvyousley build up the layers, slap on some filler and smoth her up :)

might not use or need it but its practise incase i ever need to do something similar:P

Just sorted these out about 5 min ago :)

http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j174/jesnutz/40holeworklips18x3020.jpg

3" Lips, meaning i have chickened out putting the 10.5 up front and have decided to promote them to the rears, :ghey:

running the 3" up front means i have the little extra bit of comfort and hopefuly ill get the +30mm Front Wings i like and they will fit snug under them :)

Just bought them in the states so hopefuly Next week they will be here :)
also bought a D-max boot lid spoiler aswell :)should be here next week also :) haven't quite decided if i shall fit it or not, but its nice to have if i get the Urge ;)

and I got news my other set of wheels Have finnaly arrive from Japan :) so paid the Balance and getting them posted up Monday, sadly not for the s15, planning on getting a s14a in the next few weeks and they will look awesome on it, Same as what i have already Veilside's 18x11 -30, 18x10 -18
:notworthy:notworthy:smitten:

Cant wait to get stuck into them :P

You wasted your time cleaning them bolts!
I had the same problem as you and cleaned a few bolts but was unhappy so ordered new ones, the ones I cleaned were as bad a few weeks later.

Maybe try a clear paint on the bolts to protect them

hmm, i have metal polish on them, i thought a quick wipe with a cloth with some on it once a month will keep them in shape, seen alot of info on Wheel-whores that that will be enough but if thats the case i could probably order some now before i put them all back together?

17-10-12, 21:12
I was in the same boat as yourself, cleaned them with Coke then Jizzer then started with a wire brush! Done a few to see how they would out but was got talking to a lad who refurbs wheels and told me I was wasting my time unless I painted them after....
I had 30 bolts per wheel and 6 wheels so wasn't to keen on cleaning them anyway!

Took a pic the last day for ya
(New one, Cleaned and wire brushed old one, old one)

if you bolted them up we want photos ...........

ali-d1936
17-10-12, 22:14
just bolted them together gav, not on the Car yet if that's what ya mean :wink:
Didnt take alot of photos through the process because it was a mad dash but
Masked up either side of the Vally so ill get a nice straight finish,
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1207.jpg

then Flat to the mat laying beads of silicone torquing up bolts, laying another bead to fill the vally, get rid of all the Air pockets in the silicone before it cures, then rip off the masking tape and you get this,
have them inside nice and warm while the Silicone sets,
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1213.jpg

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1212.jpg

befor i did that i Was wondering what the offsets where so finally figured out how to measure them and came up with this,

11" overall edge to edge,
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1197.jpg

150 From one edge to Hub face,
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1198.jpg

150 From center face to the outer edge,
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1200.jpg

Bead to bead 10.5, 150-150 = 0

So that works out at a nice 18x10.5 et0

worked out when my 3" lips arrive the fronts will be 18x10 et6
as borris johnson said Very Niceeeee,

If you want that flare you will need to cut the inner tub and roll the inside of the quarter out with lots of heat, then weld a plate back in, sounds drastic but it works.

21-10-12, 20:55
So passed the NCT and only got 4 F***ING months Test, W@nkers!!
so came home and Put on the adjustable arms and coilovers and went to change
the Exhaust,
then decided i couldnt wait any longer and went at flaring the arches
Part of me wanted to cut the inside of the arch and weld it back after, but i couldn't be arsed doing that TBH as i am going with over-fenders anyway the look of the flare wont matter,

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1233.jpg
Heated the paint up and after about a hour it still seems like it just wasnt going to Flare.
so decided to kick it up a notch and got abusive with it and it finally started to come

kept going until it looked like the Wing was going to cave in,
then mounted the wheel up to see if i got the 30mm

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1242.jpg :afro:

not finished need to come further down the wing but gave up for tonight.

Bit of paint flaked but i expected that and its not smooth all the way but im happy with it :)

that is with the Adjustible arms set to the same legnth as the original arms so once the tyre is on the wheel ill dial the arms into place and fingures crossed the tyre tucks the flare,

ah i really think 30mm overs are grand, they dont alter the look too much but despise the 50mm they bulge too much and look shite, ill see how they sit anyway with the wheels and might consider cutting the pannels and rolling them out further and have a smoother flare.

ah there is no rush with them anyway i can wait till hes back, thats a good price for a good tyre, ill get onto him so, kinda tied to pat as hes ordered the tyres in specifically for me.


did the other side today, got my little brother to hold the heat gun on the arches till it was too hot to touch and keep it on them as i worked, and they came out alot better and quicker, and the paint only cracked in one little spot :)

need to lower the rear and take out a bit of camber but couldnt be arsed today.

and im still fairly confident ill be getting rear overfenders too. :/


also is ti normal for a lil air to be leaking out between the tyre and lip? i was told they usually do that for a few hours till they settle in.

he didnt use any bead sealer so will i have to let the air out of the tyres and put some bead sealer on and pump them up again?

i honestly wouldnt bother with wings or overfenders cos it looks awesome like that. to make the front fit all ya gotta do is put in the camber to the max, and i tiny bit at the back and your fitment will be perfect


in my eyes the car is perfect like that!!!

ah they came out alright, would need the filler treatment to look there best but im delighted how much of a pull i got on them :) screwed up the passanger side front kicking myself now but its getting replaced so dont really mind.

camber is to the max, the topmounts are at there limits, i could get camber bolts but its about 10mm to the shock anyway, plus its going to require alot of work, where the loom comes out the wing the grommet is in the way along with the bonnet latch cable, so ill be pulling the wing off tomorrow and cutting up to lift them up as far out of harms way then bash out to make some room for full lock with compressed suspension,


Agreed leave the body alone

il defiantly be getting front wings for comfort ill have a think about the rears.

i think these ones will look nice flow well with original lines and all that jazz.

Yeah can run the loom thu the engine bay with out cutting any wire i did it to my one was handy or move the fuse box inside the car took me awhile to move it but was deffo worth it

ali-d1936
27-10-12, 18:45
hmm i would love to movethe fuse box into where the passanger airbag was but i planned on sorting the engine bay and engine side of things next year, might just pull it out and oute it through the bay for now i should have done that the first time but ya live and learn, any tips for bringing it through the bay?

took it down the road and nearly destroyed the front bumper so ill have no choice but to lift up the front a bit, but before that im going to put the transport box on the John deer and pull out the margin in the middle of the road :) seems the easier solution... migh have to do the road all the way into sligo then aswell :P haha

18x10 -6 give or take a lil bit but thats what i worked them out to be, rubbing on everything at that height lol, ill have to cut up the metal to try and lift the entry point of both the bonnet cable and loom because as soon as you full lock with the suspension compresssed the tyre will clean them out haha. ya it is and the bumper was so expensive i dont want to destroy it within the first week on the road, might trim the bottom of it and lift it up a half inch will make things so much easier but not keem on that either.

Serious? i hated that bumper the fit around the lights was horrible, and was never keen on the gap between the lights filled up.

Cheers Tom, realised today that there was actualy loads left in the front camber adjusters so dilled in What seems to be 2deg but the car was brutle to drive had to fight to keep the wheels straight so put it back to 0deg, its not tracked est its been lowered so id say thats Why the steering was so twitchy so ill get it tracked and try again but it looked heaps better.

Man loving this car. Bumper looks the bizz on it. Dont fender it. Its just perfect as is!

haha, you from balla? ya im delighted at how the bumper came out took alot of work when i got it tho, fitments was a bit dodge around the passenger light and all lil dipps in it that i had to fill and sand,


yup lyk 5mins afta u lft. haha. yes agreed dnt overfender as i said ealier.

ah ill get them and see they cant be that bad, defanatly need the front wings as i fucked up on the passanger wing rolling it, and if i keep the pulled fenders they will need filler and a respray and want to try the overs before i decide on that.

Oh yes that's what I thought it was for but the lad who had it after you must have disconnected em
I wanted to buy it off you when you had it but couldn't scrape the cash together , but ya I bought it off the lad in mayo in December last year , he was complete wanker and plastered stickers on her but I got rid of them
I love the car but on my birthday last year some spastic in a truck side swiped her , he didn't do much damage like nothing structural at all but I couldn't afford to put her back together for a while but have been building her back up and was driving her last week again finally :D she's in good hands anyway ;)

ah thats no bother, dunno about that one i only noticed the time i put the wheels on it and brought it to my mate who reckoned it got a new quater at some stage and it was spurious and not a great fit as everything underneath was straight and it was tracking straight, so all i could do was lob a i think it was a 15mm spacer on the driver side to even it out,is the spacer still on her? ha the first drive out the road the splitter fell off and i drove over the driver side one, i repaired it its still somewhere i can dig it out but i cannot remeber the condition it was in.

Ya I was thinking that cause in fairness she's a good straight car so it had me confused but nope someone took that spacer , I must get one for her to even it out , looks a bit funny with one arch flared :p and there's only one of those yokes to change the centre bore left on her ( I cant think of the name if them) :rolleyes: if you could dig it out I'd appreciate it cause I'd more than likely take it , twud really finish her off and I can't afford a new one , especially cause lads down round here would just nick the splitter :rolleyes:

i cant remeber if it was exactly 15mm you might need to double check i tryed a few on until it looked right you might need to do the same.
all that car needed was a radio and speakers when i sold it, had some laugh driving it about lol

then it looks like i will be getting 30mm overfenders and fettling them to about 60mm to cover the wheels with no camber. will end up looking like this a bit but better ;)

so finally bit the bullet and bought some over-fenders, i need 50-60mm, but i think any 50mm overs look bulgey and shite, the only exception is the wisesquare overfenders
http://images.engineeredtoslide.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/IMG_1513-560x747.jpg
i like the way the lil pull around the wheel stops the whole wing being pushed out.
but you can see the problem with them that grove that comes out and goes along the bumper looks daft,

so i decided to get 30mm overs off drive n style, and cut and achieve the pulled look around the wheel myself,

so set the wheels to about 1 deg negative camber as opposed to the usual 5 and test fitted the wings,

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1317.jpg

took them off and started marking out for cutting

trying to work out the right angle of the slope and this is the best photo i can find :/ there is going to be alot of trial and error.

as paddy and john said them arches really are not my cup of tea but thats a nice s15 all the same.

na 18's bud, dunno about canada i think ill go back to OZ for my second year dunno where to go tho the woman is in perth but the lads are up in Darwin, decisions decisions humm, how long ya thinking of going for or where about?

dose anyone know if i can cut the overs along this line marked in pencil?
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1331.jpg
if i push it into place it warps around in a few diffrent places? but if i cut it and pin it down below it looks alot better.

so cut out and pulled them a extra 25mm, trying to get the angle of the slope right,
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1328.jpg

think ill go with this, so just get a peice of perspex now and warp it to the 3 points draw a line along it and i have my upper curve, cut that, fit brackets
and start fibreglassing :)

anyone have any tips???

well ever est a ute nearly went up in flames on me in Austraila i always said id never be without a fire extinguisher on me so while in halfords i spotted one and i said fec it its only E70, not expecting it to go up in flames but its good to have if ever needs be, only after i bough it i realised its powder but sure its better than nothing lol :)
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1344.jpg

and finished the wings.. well the sanding side of tings anyway, have given it 2 light coats of primer and going to leave it till tomorrow to finish up, now orderign rivnuts on e-bay so as soon as they arrive its go time :)

i have been looking and i can only find them in Austraila at E450 delivered LOL so im not paying that, so i might just get the front 30mm wings off drive'n'style later in the week and fiberglass over and cover the vent, as i think it will look better than the vent thats there :)

ali-d1936
25-11-12, 21:23
ya man anywhere i found them they are branded as d-max wings in austraila and NZ but the price and postage is rediculas. and looked up RHDjapan aswell and he wanted E320 just for postage haha, i know epracing did them 3 years ago, but now they do the D1 D-max wings that have a step and additional vent along the door and i think it looks muck, they wont tell me where they got them from back then >:(, so only hope atm is finding a second hand set, or bite the bullet and buy from OZ,

with stuff like D-max man your gonna have to bite the bullet and pay big :( its so hard to find any cool shit like that second hand ! the shipping from rhdjapan is ridiculous for some things, i, going buying a d-max boot spoiler off them , but shipping is like 250 euro , 100 more than the actual item itself!! shipping prices are a cunt >:(

ali-d1936
25-11-12, 22:01
i dont mind paying for the genuine item its the price of the postage thats rediculas, all the ones in OZ are reps, postage is cheap but what they want for them is mad, if i dont get anything but the weekend ill just get a new set and close the vent should look nice with no vent, but would love them ones. do you reckon there is anyway to organise your own shipping from rhd?

oh yeah man ill always pay for genuine stuff, and to be fair, genuine D-MAX stuff is actually really cheap, its just the postage thats makes it expensive!

i dunno if you can or not, i had a debate with them before asking why when i ordered a s14 dmax roof wing it only cost 60 euro postage, but the s15 boot spoiler that is like maybe 3 inches longer than the s14 roof spoiler cost 250 euro in postage, but there was nothing they can do :(

luckily my friend is moving to japan next week so ill probably just get him to send stuff to me :D

ali-d1936
25-11-12, 22:29
haha that would be sweet for ya haham im actually going to try that jessy streeter fella i think that is his name a few people recommended him for getting parts and shipped over see if he can get me them for deacent postage, its just a kick in the balls that there was no shortage of them a few years ago from EPR at a deacent price and now they cant do them.

Im on cloud 9 :) just though taking with Jesse Streeter and he can get me Genuine d-max wings the ones iv been after for months :) costing around E400, a good 200 cheaper than RHD japan and thats before i get raped for import tax :/ but fec it i wouldnt be happy with anything less then these. waiting on a final price make my decision, and then, they will be here within 2 weeks. :)

also finished my rear overs, came out well i must say just getting riv nuts now and they wil be on the weekend hopfuly!

and best of all there was savage amounts of banging and rattling coming from the car for as long as i can remember, so maybe im just getting old but decided to investigate, after a quick serch the two adjusters for the boot lid where to short and the boot lid was rattleing, gave them a few turns and presto no noise.

then the exhaust must have been designed for a s14, or the Decat for the car was from something else and too short, as the back of the exhaust was hitting off the rear under-car brace and constently banging. so after looking at the decat and measuring it off a cat converter from a s14, the decat was about 2 inches shorter, so fitted the catalac converter, and the whole exhaust is now 2" further back meaning it clears the brace, so the exhaust now sits higher and no more banging noise, and with the converter in it sounds less raspy and more civilised :P
also made a hanger for the downpipe off the gearbox as i was afraid adding the coverter would put pressure on the downpipe and cause it to crack.

so overall been a good few days.

No bother horse, was going to mention him to Ya the last day, but had no dealings with him Yet myself, but he seems sound, i was asking him about a price for secondhand d-max wings from yahoo auctions and he told me he can get them for 300yen cheaper new from d-max, he could have said nothing and pocketed the 300, Im nearly afraid to ask how much the wing was for you i bet it was cheaper than what i paid for mine secondhand LOL.
Was going to get him to chuck a yashio 6 speed shifter in the box but there is no guarentee it would be in it when it arrives.

Any idea how to get around customs when importing it? Not looking forward to shelling out the extra 90 euro when they arrive, can he Stick happy birthday and that on the box and say its a gift? I seen it before where a lad imported wheels and there was ballons drawn on the box and happy birthday written all over them and he didnt get stung LOL.

then i somehow managed to find 4 Veilside centercaps for my other set of wheels for a good price too :cool:
http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r292/tpotter1/IMAG0219.jpg


and now for many years my all time Favourite seats have been these Red Veilside Reclineable Seats :P I always wanted them and Being a bit of a seat whore i said if i ever came accross a set for sale id buy them :P earlyier in the year i seen a Pair with 45% off RRP in UAE for E2,000 :O almoset bouht them, but decided it was a awful waste of money!! same as these
http://g35driver.com/forums/attachments/archived-sales/113702d1257731709-veilside-seats-steering-wheel-img_0994-.jpg

now i have come accross a set in the USA, but they are black not red, still thinking beggers cannot be choosers, so im in talks with him trying to find a price to post them over and if its atall reasonable ill buy them :P

Looks cool fella ;) have the centre's of the dori's being painted purple for that white MX5 I was working on so at least you'll get an idea of what it will look like against the white :)
Excellent lad, i have a feeling they will look awsome :) as you said yourself the silver centers isnt doing much for the car :)

ah ya i wanted to keep it looking and i thought that if i painted them a mad colour it would cheapen the over all look of the car, but looking around on a few wheel threads on Zilvia and the likes i think white with purple wheels could be a winner :P

anyhow Delighted after a very long search i finally got the D-max front wings :P
turned up with no damage witch was a nice suprise :)

while i was at the car i needed to sort my washer bottle out, car never had one but i had one off a old mk3 golf fitted, but when the water ran out i had to remove the front bumper and take the bottle off to fill it up :/, so i fitted it in a better position, and got some water hose drilled a hole in the top of the bottle and routed the hose just behind the headlight so just need to pour the water in the hose and no leaks :)

anyway the wings, very good quality, and a very good fit, spent a few hours taking off the old wings tidying up behind them, then fixing on the new ones:)

Ya he sent me a breakdown of the costs and he gives himself less than 15euro to do all the work, in fairness sourcing the part having it posted to him then organise it to be posted again, its not a bad deal. Most companys wont post overseas so its great to find somone like him who wont rape you like most other places, and excellent communication always replied to any of my silly emails within a couple hours. The way he wrapped the wings was awsome pleanty of Thought and care went into it i Wish i got a few little bits to fill the cavity in the box could have even got a nardi steering wheel, and yashio shifter amongst other things in there. Highly recommed him anyway!

fucking getting plagued with a little miss the last few weeks, its not a full misfire, but idling its rough and every now and again the car jerks a little, i thought it was a boost leak/bad earth/coilpack. so went over the earths and all was ok. so i took off all the pipes and looking into the intercooler the bottom inch was full of water :rolleyes:

this is the result of a little tare on a silicone joiner, but on the upside that pritty much guaranteeing that i have a boost leak somewhere :huh:
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1386_zps817a5d92.jpg
(dont worry about the oil in the picture i was cleaning the joint in prep to put back on read somewhere a smeer of oil on all the joints helps with a seal)

so i drained it out and put all the pipes back on but still have it but its better than it was, so im stuck till i get the replacement joiner

so with the water drained from the inter cooler i was wondering if any damage was done,
so i bought a compression tester,

and happly it showed 145PSI on all 4 cylinders, :)
of course i got proof :rolleyes: the best of the 4 photos i took >:(

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1413_zps539edeb7.jpg
some might think thats a bit low but reading up online iv seen people with 120psi and still have strong engines, so im happy,

i think its good for a car with 207K :wink:
but ill do a wet test soon with a spoon of oil in each cylinder and see if it changes much :)


but one look at the plugs and i knew they had to be changed,

E78 for 4 new denso plugs recommended by nissan

old v new
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q171/ali-d1936/IMAG1417_zps982b4d9b.jpg

took it out for a quick spin so make sure everything worked ok,

and
Oh
My
God!!

the difference was black and white same kind of pick up low down but as the revs climbed the diffrence the new plugs made was unreal!! :) (not suprised as the old ones looked past there sell by date)

so latley iv been wondering what Mpg i was getting and its working out at 24MPG taking the average over 4 full tanks.
so now ill do 4 full tanks again and see if the new plugs and no boost leaks give me better MPG :)

ah and this is what you car looks like when you use it every day ;)
