Someone never taught you to read Stephen. Haha

Just playing. What wheels you selling again?

Oh I read it. Just chose to ignore. What can be more important then wheels? Jeez.

And these:

SSR Gulf Stich wheels (17x8.5 +12 front, 17x9.5 +12 rear) True 3 piece rim, nice little buggers.

Injectors came in today. Went to moms house for some reason so won't get those till the weekend

Also. I want to paint my wheels

I'm really thinking of leaving the rim and "lip" polished and painting the face a nice color. I was thinking white but I'm unsure of that. Maybe like bronze? I dont think black would look good. Suggestions?

The only reason I want to paint them is because I got other stuff on my list that are more important than rims. So I want to make these wheels and likable as I can untill I can afford new ones

Or just buy mine? Yeah, way better plan.

Well i have my skyline which was bought pretty much "complete" to be a daily driver. But of course in human nature there is always something better. So i started upgrading the skyline.

I had a 240 before my skyline and i loved it. Cheap car to beat on. SOld it. Bought a silvia shell and a rusted 240, was going to do a chassis swap, sold both. Bought anther running 240 coupe and sourced an sr for cheap. finally getting around to put it in.

I wanted a lhd. Don't ask why. i just did. LHD's are more rare thatn rhd's when it comes to the drifting scene out west here. I wanted a lhd to be "sleeper" i guess you could call it.

Im hoping for a low, stock body 240 with an sr.

I've always liked the idea of owning 1 car. Where its a daily driver and a drift car. Cause say your driving home see a sweet corner and you want to slide it, when your in you DD, you don't want to , or can't do it. If your in a daily/drift car. you'll go for it.



My paint gun also came in today that i ordered. there is really no place to get automotive paint in my small town so ill have to hold off on using the gun till later. My 4runner will be the test subject. no doubt about that

ohh very nice! The pipes do look smaller than they really are. I think 3 in is great. You don't wanna go to overboard.

You have 2 projects going at once eh? Thats kinda my plan as well. I wanna have the GTR for street/Track and a 180 for just drifting. Its a dream, but maybe once I find a job again I can do it.

[RHDskyline]

Yeah you are right. And hey. I never see the exhaust anyway, im always driving.




So there i am. Working on my sr20 getting it all ready to put in 240, when my step mom comes in with some mail I know what that means. It means my parts are finally coming in.

So in the one envelope, i know its my fuel rail adapter so i can run my adjustable FPR.

But in the other box, i can not for the life of me think of what it is. (ive ordered so much stuff) haha.

So i open it and its my fuel pump. WTF.

For some reason. I had this idea in my head that fuel pumps were really big. But they are just so small.


So after i get my sr swap done i plan on changing the fuel pump out, hooking the FPR up, and by then, my injectors should be in from Adam and i will be set. Or atleast till spring when i can get a real tune. FINALLY. Ive been waiting for a real tune since ive gotten the car

[cschepp]

Think it looks great and 3" looks to be quite large enough. You don't want them too big because you will start attracting un wanted attention and get yourself in sheet

[RHDskyline]

Those are the only two that would load



I just don't like how the pipes look so small. When in fact they are both 3 inch pipes. Maybe i should have gone 3.5?

[RHDskyline]

Ive been trying to. My photobucket is being really lame so its not working. When i get a chance to again i will try

[bellis_GTR]

Got any pics of your exhaust set up? I love the dual 3 inch pipes sticking out the back.

+1 on bings

[Supraclean]

Driftworks! Or Canadian products like Bings you can pick up most of the items needed.

[RHDskyline]

I followed that guide exactly and everything worked out perfectly. No more Hicas. No hicas light and now i can drift properly.


So thats one less thing to do on my skyline.


On a side note. I did receive my clutch for my sr20, so that will be going into my 240 sometime next week hopefully.


Injectors, fuel pump, and FPR adapter are in transit.


Does anyone have good recommendations for multilink adjustable suspension for the skyline?
