*Update*

I got the arches rolled on the rear so that sorted the rubbing issues i was facing on the back of the car, due to the car being a tad lower on the driver side than passenger side. (Not exactly sure why, has been the case with a few of my older cars as well. Iv heard this is due to a driver always being in the car and the parts get more wear.)

So anyway the tyre is catching on the front d/s, to combat this I picked up some aftermarket JIC Magic fixed camber arms, I believe these will pull the wheel in by -2 deg over the standard camber arms. I am hoping this will sort the rubbing issue on the front. If this does not work Ill have to go down the route of coil overs which is something that I don't really want to do.

Will be fitting them today hopefully so will let ye know how I get on! bt:)

Cheers man, they are 17 x 9 ET +15 I think, to be honest though I wouldnt recommend this size as I am having difficulty getting them to fit.

Anyways got round to fitting the camber arms this evening, driver side went straight on, passenger side took a bit more work as wouldn't line up for a bit.
When I got them on I noticed there was a bit more camber than I had expected :happy)

Took the car for a spin aaaaaaaaand it hasn't fix the issue :wallbash)
Well it kinda has in that its now no longer rubbing on the arch where it was before but the passenger side is now rubbing somewhere else. :wallbash)

I just can't seem to get these whees to fit my car :wallbash) :hmmm)
Looks like I'm either going to have to sell the wheels or get coilovers :hmmm)

Anyway as always some pics.....

Hmmm what have I got to update you guys with? :hmmm)

So as you know I fitted the camber arms, the car now has crazy camber at the front which has made the tyres rub off the arches even more and I now need coilovers, can't sell the wheels because I like them to much!

The car went for its first NCT (Possibly since it came into the country in 2006). And to my surprise all it failed on was water inside in the rear lights and water in the front p/s indicator.

I couldn't be happier with the NCT results, just goes to show how well the car is looked after!

Managed to get a few snaps of the car in the centre even though its not allowed :ban:

http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...psgmrqd3h7.jpg

http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...ps78jhcnoz.jpg

I was going changing the front indicator anyway as the bracket holding it in place was broken and the indicator sequence was off. I got a replacement indicator & rear p/s reverse light off a member as my reverse light is a bit smashed. The indicator isn't in the best condition but will do to get me through the test!

http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...psiai3etip.jpg

I got the Indicator fitted anyway and the sequence has returned to normal and hopefully it will not retain water and pass the re-test.

http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...psdfubx7jc.jpg

Aaaaand I cleaned up the GTR bonnet that I had picked up last night, I wasn't going to fit it to the car until I had the bumper and grill to go with it but I couldn't resist, please note that the bonnet is a different silver and will be getting painted!

P.S. I think It looks best with no bonnet :happy)

Sorry guys, been a while since I updated this.
Not much progress, I decided that the Bride was not comfortable for daily use so it was sold and I replaced it with one of the Recaros left over from my DC5.
I also removed the dildo knob and replaced it with a white Tegiwa knob.

The car got treated to a well needed service :D

http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...ps1mcpqkns.jpg

I also picked up a GTR grill and front & rear adjustable camber arms!
The front ones I had bought we're not adjustable and there was too much of an angle, I got the new ones fitted and set the angle that I wanted. :D
The old arms are now for sale, send me a pm if interested.

My new Arms...

Thanks for all the comments guys!

I got the car aligned the other day and its driving perfect now. It was a bit all over the place after changing the arms.
Today was an unfortunate day, I cleaned the car up this morning and was heading to the ultimate drift practice day in Watergrasshill when my alternator belt broke and in the process took out my coolant pipe, coolant went everywhere.
Was on the motorway too!

So I now need to buy new belts, a top coolant pipe and some coolant!

Ok so i got the car back on the road straight away after the fan belt snapped, I fitted 3 new belts (of which I only needed 2 as no PS) and new coolant and some braided rad hoses I got from Darren.

My new belts!

I got it off Eoin on here, it needs some work but it will get there.

http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...psgl6pew3f.jpg

The car got treated to a well deserved clean and I polished the exhaust back box as well as it just wasn't shiny enough!

So after some searching I finally managed to source a genuine lip for the GTR bumper.

http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...sfkpen3wj.jpeg

Its currently on the way to me from Japan and once it arrives the front of the car, bonnet, grill, bumper and wings will be getting painted.

Im currently debating whether to wrap the grill in carbon or else leave it the colour that it is and also add a rocket dancer lip like the one below.

http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...ps2cd5jal2.png

The car will finally be looking the way I want it!

More car parts!

A lovely splitter for my new bumper.

http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...ps7wn1ddea.jpg

http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...pshwsjiwjb.png

My thinking was that it was going to protect the bumper because the car is so low and I didn't want my lovely new paint scraping off!
More than likely though this splitter is going to break on the first day! Agh well......tis worth a shot!
Car is now in the workshop and will be finished by the end of the week!
Cant wait!

All thats left to do now is.......
Change the p/s indicator as its shit
GTR Seats (Maybe others)
Roll cage
Rocket dancer carbon rear lip
Wrap the the front grill in carbon
Gauges

Oh and then maybe a 2JZ!
