mas12555 Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 Got access to a computer for tonight so I thought I would do a big old update.refurbed and polished the outer rim for the ssr's myself after every shop I went to refused to touch them due to their rarity. Still need to paint the centre. I got some Nar type two wheels as well which are pretty awesome. I got loads of nismo stuff as well now.Centre caps for my RS8 nismo wheels which are rare as rocking horse poop.My Nismo horn button and lap timer control which will be able to wire into my built in clock/stop watch in my car. Loads of retro Nissans had them. Nismo coolant gauge Nismo horns. picture is from google as I cant find one of mine. Modded my cluster to take any 52mm gauge which my coolant gauge will be going into. Replaces the standard OEM coolant gauge which is crap.AEM afr just for test fitting.Also wired in a shift light which lights up a disused warning light on my cluster, also has a warning buzzer built in. Doing this as I tend to get carried away sometimes. Got some nismo stickers. I am not too sure about the number board though. Might get another one and place it lower down. I do love the nismo stickers above the side repeaters though. Also got a new sparco Kevlar bucket seat. Got a nismo gearknob as well. Lastly took my dads old Vauxhall uptop a classic car show at the NEC been a long time since it has come out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looks absolutely lovely, credit to your dad!I'm in awe at the amount of retro Nismo stuff you're building up! Some serious effort going into this matey, keep it up High performance firenza droop snoot. one of 204 which were tuned to about 140ish bhp. Quick car for its age and still embarrasses a lot of the modern hot hatches. He has had it since new as well!Yeah I have gone abit Nismo crazy but the habbit has to stop really as its costing me an arm and a leg. I do see it as abit of a investment as some of the stuff goes for silly money over here, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mas12555 Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) Right then I managed to find a 1.3 nismo rad cap and got it for a bargain price of £15! Well happy.Also got the nismo coolant gauge fitted. The car has been off the road for awhile now and I really miss her. Almost got money or a donor car its take a long time but ones I have that starlet that's all I need. Edited December 18, 2014 by mas12555 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mas12555 Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) I said I wasn't going to buy anymore nismo stuff well I lied..Nismo pedals sourced. Only going to use the throttle pedal as it will help with heal and toe. They are automatic pedals though so it is lucky I only need a throttle pedal.Nismo cigarette lighter sourced as well.Also got a genuine super turbo hood scoop coming so I can make a super turbo bonnet. I will also put one of these vents in the bonnet as well. Abit more cold air to the air filter.Also made a jap spec boot lid today. Please excuse the tacky kanjo sticker. Will be covered up with my number plate. Also nearly got all the gauges I need. Just need a racetech oil temp/pressure dual gauge.sorry if my updates are abit boring at the moment just this time of year is abit crappy so cant work on the car much.

turbomad Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Just looked at this love the nismo bits the laptimer/horn is amazing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mas12555 Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 Just looked at this love the nismo bits the laptimer/horn is amazingYeah its an awesome piece of kit and cost me next to nothing. Shame I cant wire it into my clock on my car though as I will have to fiddle about with circuit boards and that. I might just buy a spots stop watch and wire it into that or just wait for a nismo lap timer to pop up for sale.I could ofcoure use the buttons for other things.

R34GTt Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Love this! I used to own a K10 Colette in 2003 as my first car and fitted it with Super S parts and import back lights. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looking good mate! I import stuff almost monthly from japan haha. I have seen your car around before in the micra club.I got bored this weekend and started to paint the inside black with hammerite. All my interior is staying except for the rear carpet and rear plastics as it needs ditching so I can run a cage. Also going to be putting the swirl pot and fuel pump in the spare wheel well, I will then make a plate to cover all the stuff on in the well so its a fire shield. Main reason behind doing that is so I cant be moaned for having a "fuel cell" inside the cabin.I Also converted the bootlid to jap spec.

I lost a bid on a nismo boost gauge. I bidded £110 and made me realise that I need I stop with all this jdm parts crap and get the car done! I bought a BG snap off boss as well and the quality of them is amazing compared to the cheap eBay ones Quote Link to post Share on other sites
