The mesh bits are still waiting to go back in coz iv sprayed em black but I'm undecided wether to put em back on or not. What u guys rekon?

[180SXTCY]

lmgt4s are so much win! <3

[kurbn]

[tinto]

Ahh those wheels are much better! Nice one.

[mitchy]

put the mesh back in, especially if its black now too.

[XF Falcon]

ten thousand times better!

[Alt_F4]

I <3 black LMGT4s

[rat]

Wow what a difference. Great choice, looks very mean now!

[SimonR32]

new wheels are win!

[UK-Rushy]

Cheers for the replies :) I love em. Makes a hell of a difference.

The specs are:

front 18 x 8.5 +25
Rear 18 x 9.5 +30

And genuine black limited edition!

[TJ]

Needs stock rear lights too.

Looks great on the lm's

[Jiblet]

[_oz]

nice buy with the wheels! looks fkn sweet :D

[Lonewolf]

WIN!

[siamak]

Car looks great dude. Now be fearful of gutter-rash.

[UK-Rushy]

Cheers for the replies!!

Yeh I was thinking bout the lights but that's on the to do list!

Im gonna stay well away from kerbs lol there's a couple of scratches on em now but iv got touh up paint for tht but I got the touch of a baby elephant so il get the misses onto it... Just like painting a set of nails isn't it :)

[RH8 GTR]

Sits perfect imo mate. Looks sweet on lm's!

[Gleeso]

Wow!

Thats one hot S15. +1 to putting black mesh in, will keep a good colour scheme going

[Macca]

+30 9.5 on rears, you sure? they look a bit too pokey, get your rear camber arms in use.

[UK-Rushy]

Cheers for the replies! Ye there definatly +30, an yeh needs more camber on the rear needs an alignment anyway! An I do like them taillights theyve got a nice set in stock at the moment. May have to pay them a visit after Xmas!

[jaybee]

car has just gone up another notch!

well done, looks bombed!

[Tocchi]

looks great with the new rims !!!

[UK-Rushy]

Cheers :) not too sure what's next now. Definatly due for an alignment which will be done as soon as I can an then maybe koyo rad, tail lights, proper boot install an dress up the engine bay

[Daveo]

Very good choice with the LMGT4s car looks a hell of alot tuffer.

[OnParole]

Glad you got rid of the wheels it came with, good choice on wheels.

[UK-Rushy]

cheers :)

got a couple of parts to add to the list, koyo radiator, autobahn radiator hoses and a cusco type os rear strut bar.

couple more pics aswell:

[UK-Rushy]

So that's what a standard fuse box looks like.....

Smart arse

[UK-Rushy]

looks good mate. massive fan of lmgt4s :P

Cheers mate :)

Yep sure am. Never seen you around before!

[180SXTCY]

Smart arse

LOL!!! Nice work Josh hahaha


thats cos my shitter isnt running man u will c me around soon enough

[UK-Rushy]

Haha gdgd look forward to seeing your car! It's well nice!

[Ben Wha]

Looks hot man! Needs moar low!

[UK-Rushy]

Haha cheers but don't think I can go any lower... Id have to flare the rear guards an my driveways pretty steep lol

[UK-Rushy]

Got a wheel alignment done... Finally!

Rear camber arms are seized and was too late on a Friday to start messing with them so they got as much as try could out of the stock adjuster

Before:
http://i785.photobucket.com/albums/yy139/UK-Rushy/7cecee5e.jpg

After:
http://i785.photobucket.com/albums/yy139/UK-Rushy/7a019db4.jpg

Needs more camber :(

[[FL0SSIN]]

no more camber! flare the guards ever so slightly and it will be sittin pretty...er

[Jiblet]

what camber are you running? looks like maybe 1.5 degrees?

more camber is needed, flaring will only ruin the lines of the s15.

[UK-Rushy]

Yeh 1.5camber. Not keen on flaring the gaurds, don't like the look of it. Will probably keep it as it is for now an see how it goes!

[UK-Rushy]

Haven't updated in a while, there's not really much to tell you. I took the car to cypher to check the tune and do a power run, everything was pretty good a little bit lean in places but thats all cleaned up now, it made 340hp@1.2bar on waperf dyno.

This morning I decided to see why my front bumper was so loose, took 2 screws out and the bumper slid off, problem found! While in was under there I happend to look at the cooler piping and found this
http://i785.photobucket.com/albums/yy139/UK-Rushy/6e06b952.jpg
http://i785.photobucket.com/albums/yy139/UK-Rushy/cefcf1f3.jpg

Prett surprised that it was running fine an made the power it did on the dyno! Got it welded up at last minute but cars not running yet as I forgot to buy a hose for the catch can to intake pipe. It will be interesting to see how it drives

[patty]

Haha thats hell trippy my car shuttered and cut out when I had a split hose

[UK-Rushy]

The wonders of power fc d jetro :p

I never knew you were mates with Mohammed and them boys!

[1cut808]

Fark... That's been rubbing for years!!

[R3N]

That's after the cooler as well

[UK-Rushy]

First pipe from Turbo to cooler pipe

[R3N]

Hmm... don't remember that side needing to be cut

[UK-Rushy]

I don't know. Guy before did the set up. Is it different with high mounts?

[Sfidz]

Hmm... don't remember that side needing to be cut

Think for larger piping it does perhaps?

[UK-Rushy]

Ah well all fixed now. Took her out for a drive an its a completely different car, much more response and power and not as much lag :) will pit it on the dyno to check everything's ok as there's alot more air going through now!

[timmm]

i hope you filed the hole the cooler pipe goes through or put rubber around it. wouldn't want it to happen again.

[thrtytwo]

wow, big hole to find. Must of made an awesome difference.

[UK-Rushy]

The guy who welded it made it 3 times as thick and il most probably re do the whole piping to make sure it's all good.

Yeh its made a massive difference less lag, more power and alot more response it'll be interesting to see the difference on the dyno

[UK-Rushy]

New front bar! let me know what you think!
http://i785.photobucket.com/albums/yy139/UK-Rushy/IMG_0716.jpg

http://i785.photobucket.com/albums/yy139/UK-Rushy/081b4415.jpg

Car went back on the dyno today, it's making boost and power earlier but the stock coilpacks can't handle anymore so couldnt push the car past 340 until i get splitfires!

[Fukushima]

looks much nicer now

would be interesting to see if you make more power with splitfires or 4 brand new nissan coils

[kurbn]

that looks really good! fibreglass or plastic? gaps and fitment looks spot on! I like the look of the lip in the middle

[UK-Rushy]

I'm still not sure wether im going genuine or splitfires!

Cheers! It's fiberglass :) I can't see the point spending ~$1200 on a front bar! That money will do better elsewhere! The guy who painted it did an awsome job, dropped it off saturay morning and was ready Sunday morning :)

[kurbn]

for fibreglass that fits really nice!

[UK-Rushy]

Yeh I was pretty surprised how well it fit, it did need minor sanding for the passenger cooler pipe and also where it meets drivers side fender, also it's got 10 bolts holding it on instead of the 2 on the m sports :p

[magic1]

better loookin than that silver 1, shannon is his name

[Sfidz]

Dude you should have got the middle bar that is infront of the intercooler deleted like mine! Looks sweet though :)

[_oz]

well you had me.. i thought it was a genuine one!

[Sfidz]

well you had me.. i thought it was a genuine one!

You can only tell the difference buy it not having the plastic inserts in the left and right vent at the front.

[patty]

I think I prefer the old front bar but it's still nice!

[mikal]

^^^ what he said... old one looks better but this one is still nice!!!

[Gleeso]

Car looks heaps better. Soo much tougher.

[UK-Rushy]

cheers for the comments! i prefer it so much over the m sports! might lower the front a little bit! i decided on splitfires as iv had them on my 180 and had no problems at all! and i got them pretty cheap! will be interesting to see how far the tuner will push it on stock internals :P

[mr m00se]

New front bar looks tops, did you pick it up private sale or is there someone in aus that makes them?

[jaybee]

car is looking sweet.

should have gone with brand new standard coils though.

[UK-Rushy]

Picked the bar up off a member on SilviaWA! Was pretty lucky to get one that fits this good!

Jaybee: I havnt paid for the splitfires yet so now is your chance to convice me :p why I should get standard coils?

Also on another note, tightening power steering belt today happend to notice a noise from turbo area and where the dump meets the ex housing, 1 bolt had snapped, 1's disappeared and the other 2 are fucked!! Gasket was pretty loose. More power maybe???

[UK-Rushy]

Went for a drive with a few mates and took some pics

Thanks for looking!!

[Ben Wha]

For me I think the front bar sits too high, looks a little funny. Is there a lip that goes with this front bar?

[UK-Rushy]

Yeh I see what you mean! They dont make any for the aero but I'm sure others can be made to fit, I was looking at a mates wrx the other day and the lip on his looked awsome, might fit with a bit of modding!

But before that Il lower the front abit more and see how it looks as at the moment it looks like it siting lower on the rear

[flamo_damo]

I reckon lower it another 2" all round, should get the tyre tucking then and it will also hide the difference in hight between the front bar and skirts.

[tinto]

Looking good - I'm surprised at the height difference, but I guess Nissan had to think of warranty claims more than M sports did :)

You'd need to switch to OEM aero side skirts for the heights to be matched.
Those look like M Sports style, which are pretty deep skirts.

If you had the standard front bar, I'd suggest the topstage lip (it is what I have added, paired with M Sports skirts).

[Quokka]

my mate was the one who painted it and always does a great job. he is always looking for cashies so if anyone one needs anything painted. shoot me a PM!

[UK-Rushy]

Did a bit of work on her today, relocated the battery to the boot and also installed oil filter relocation kit :) it was such a pain in the arse! Jap cars were made for small Asian hands!

Anyway pics:

http://i785.photobucket.com/albums/yy139/UK-Rushy/c547ac34.jpg
I did have a nice shiny billet tray but it was the wrong size :(

http://i785.photobucket.com/albums/yy139/UK-Rushy/6116475b.jpg
Didn't have chance to clean it up :(

The lines are pretty long and had to be looped around, will this be ok aslong as thers no kinks??

[UK-Rushy]

Haven't updated this lately!

Decided to get splitfires, for the price I couldn't say no! They were $480 delivered! So now there in along with new plugs so should be going on the dyno sometime soon. Also bought some kumho ku31 Tyres, got them for a good price aswell! And over the weekend decided to make an pod filter heat shield... It's shit and when I want a proper one il get someone else to do it!

Forgot to mention I also purchased a varex exhaust, it's so good driving at 5.30am an sounding like a swift!

Will update after it goes back on the dyno

[UK-Rushy]

Haven't gone back to the dyno yet as new turbo kit is on the way so will need tuning then anyway!

Took the car on an antilag cruise a few weekends ago and blew manifold->exhaust housing gasket aswell as loosing 3 out of 4 studs an nuts! So replaced all them an replaced hard lines with braided. Also purchased front and rear adjustable sway bars and it handles really well!

Also decided to replace the rear lights:
http://i785.photobucket.com/albums/yy139/UK-Rushy/a3396f7a.jpg
But passenger light was faulty so sent it back and new light arrived today which is also faulty so I'm really pissed off!

Pics from the weekend:

http://i785.photobucket.com/albums/yy139/UK-Rushy/e25cb8ac.jpg

[Sfidz]

Needs stock rear bar and side skirts to match front bar imo.

[UK-Rushy]

Yeah that's definitely on the list to do. Will probably get plastic aero bar aswell, getting annoyed with fibreglass! Won't be happening for a bit though due to turbo kit!

[Torquen]

I don't mind the Aero/aftermarket kit combo.

[UK-Rushy]

Cheers :)

For me it looks like the front is higher than the rear? I'm either going to drop the front and more camber in the rear or raise the rear a few mm... What you reckon?

[Ben Wha]

Lower the front?

[UK-Rushy]

Yeh but iv got Pretty bad rubbing on the back arches which is why I was thinking raise the rear to match the front

[Ben Wha]

Nothing a guard roller can't fix :)

[UK-Rushy]

Pretty tempting but for now I raised the rear just a few mm

In other news....

Thanks to tengoku imports who were a massive help and awsome to deal with!

[Fukushima]

powertune or 6weeks?

[UK-Rushy]

Powertune! Really easy to deal with, let me know what was going on and within a week of paying an sending flanges it was in the post and at my door a couple of days later

[UK-Rushy]

Haven't updated it a while! Cars in the shop at the moment getting the new turbo kit on, paid the garage a visit on Friday:

that's the money shot right there !!!


http://i785.photobucket.com/albums/yy139/UK-Rushy/df6b58f6.jpg

[RH8 GTR]

Nice one mate! Love the pipe setup too! :) Should spin the wheels quite well!

[Torquen]

Advantage of twin gates over single??

[Deke]

are you going to put some kind of head shield over those rack boots?

[_oz]

makes it true split pulse with two gates as compared to split pulse that merge into 1 gate

[mehow2g]

Love the car mate keep it up.

[patty]

Looks bombed!! Can't wait to see it going

[UK-Rushy]

Cheers for the replies! Picked the car up last night but the dynos booked out till new year! Here's how it looks now:
http://i785.photobucket.com/albums/yy139/UK-Rushy/6eeea4a5.jpg

Starts making boost at around 2700rpm in 4th set at 1bar. The spool sounds so good! Can't wait till tune

[UK-Rushy]

Should probably update this!

Car got tuned last weekend and made 352rwhp on just over 19 psi on xspeed dyno and making full boost by 3800! It's so much more responsive than the 3082r. Obviously there's more room for power but been a stock engine I wouldn't like to guess how long it will last! But I will be keeping a close eye on the knocks!

Will upload dyno pic when I can

[SimonR32]

Gtx3071r yeah?

A guy is going to screw some decent boost through a rb25 with one on Friday with e85. Should be interesting :-)

[UK-Rushy]

Just a normal 3076r!

That will be pretty interesting to see the results! I was tempted to get gtx3076 twin scroll but finances were abit low!

[SimonR32]

Ahhhh, I was on the phone, couldn't see the compressor blades.

Nothing wrong with GT3076R, great turbos... The GTX3071R looks like it's similar in power response anyway and the GTX3076R is more like GT3082R with more top end

[_oz]

We compared the 3082r vs gtx3076r on a friends sr20 and found that they made the exact same power curve as eachother haha, the boys at ASG were quite suprised haha.

thick line 3082r - thin line gtx3076r
http://i.imgur.com/xTGBwl.jpg

I wonder if the identical power curves could actually be due to a restriction somewhere?

Sorry to go off topic just sharing some info :)

[UK-Rushy]

Yeh I'm really impressed with the 3076 an the spool sound is awsome haha

Wow thats pretty interesting. What rear housings are they? Were they on the same boost as each other? Also what's the cost of gtx3076r vs 3082r?

[_oz]

both turbos ran the same 0.82 rear

big difference in cost, 3082r is around 1600 new with rear housing, the gtx3076r at the time was 2,000 delivered i think

also the setup looks laggy because the car is running a pretty long diff, i think its an auto diff because he gets quite high speeds before redline in each gear.

im thinking if he changed the diff ratio he might see a better spool time

[UK-Rushy]

been a while since iv updated this! havnt really done much, havent had time to drive or spend money on it!

i have removed the fibreglass kit an replaced it with stock aero kit! this is how it currently sits... im no photographer so the pics are pretty poor!

twin gate is sexy
