[PopolZ]

I never took the time to do a thread here so while I'm on vacation might as well do it.

Some shots





Found on the car so far:

Brand New OS Giken Twin Plate Clutch
New belts including timing belt.
Adjustable cam gears
New suspension bushing and some other suspension aluminum parts
HKS intake
3" catback exhaust
Test pipe
Apexi Coilovers
Front strut brace
Greddy Oil pressure & temperature gauges

Parts I've added/replaced/fixed:
Tires, now Falken Azenis RT615, 275/40R17.
Radiator (bought a used one from Matty here)
Battery (now a north american 525CC )
1 coil pack
Spark plugs
MAFs cleaned & re soldered
Repainted the wiper arms semi-gloss black
Rear strut brace
ATESSA is disabled (update 09/13 1725PM: Found why... G-SENSOR MISSING!!!! ) / UPDATE 09/25 1126PM: Added G-Sensor, no more codes on the ATESSA computer and the AWD is fully functional!!!
Update (03/27/2009): Transmission has been changed... no more bearing whine Also a brand new OS Giken was found... I knew it was a multi-plate clutch but didn't know it was new hehehe

Problem it does have:
No windshield washer in the front
A/C not working

I'm also dying the discolored seats black:

Nice car, love the seat color change. *sigh* I wish my GTR was black....oh well, there is always paint :-D

To run your 275 RT615's did you require removing front wheel liner or fender pulling?

In the front all I had to do is to bend the tabs where the liner is attached to the fender and replaced the fasteners for slimmer one.

They look like no 14696 on http://www.oemhardware.ca/oempdf/IMPORT.pdf

I rolled the rear.

Car looks good. Couple Q's:

Are you dying the seats completely or leaving the center part the lighter grey colour?

What are you using to dye them?

[PopolZ]

I left the center as is... at least for now.

I used Duplicolor Vinyl & Fabric paint. I did use a similar product in the past and it held good. I hope this one will be as good.

Any pics of how they turned out? I may end up doing something like this if it looks good. Thanks for the info

Looks like black fabric... I sprayed 5 light coats per seat.
