New toys for the Skyline:

Just thought id show off some new toys i got for the ride

As most of you all know this is how the car was before i got it....


Then the project starting taking form....

New grille, hood, painted pieces, etc


Got rid of the huge ass fart cannon and got the Magnaflow race muffler series


now, the most of the work and money has gone into the interior as it was trashed badly when i got it.

Cleaned up the trunk and repainted


Painted the calipers, but the wheels will be gone as soon as my black 5-stars
arrive from Japan along with my HICAS lockout bar.


Interior


Ive done alot of electrical work to this car rewiring everything from the tail lights right into the dash, also wired in the stereo system, etc...

Holy crap man, nice.. I've followed your threads from the time you were being hosed as a liar until now. Skyline is a skyline, whether it's a gts or a gtr. I'm jealous....

Re: New toys for the Skyline:

the exhaust looks a lot better; it looks like the car is really starting to come along for you. lets hope this thread can stay on a positive path.

Re: New toys for the Skyline:

i think he liked speedfoos' name and used on another forum, changed it, but it looks like he still used on an image hosting site. i am not trying to be a dick, or bust the op's balls, but that is what i remember from one of the other threads.

Re: New toys for the Skyline:

as for Clints alias....yea, i did use it for awhile as i thought the name itself was cool. Yea ,Clint is a good guy but thats not why i used it. Anyhow...
ive changed it as best i can now to Baysideblue, but on certain URLs i cannot just change that.

as for the car...
thanks, appreciate the comments!
as for the tail-lights, No....i did not wire it into the dash. What happened was i was driving home one night after work and somebody was yellin' at me that the lights were all out. So, when i got home i was up til 4AM re-wiring, checking for shorts, cleaning up everything right from the Tail-lights right up into the dash. This meant completely tearing it all apart by first removing all the electrical tape that was OEM (now gone for good) because i had to inspect every wire along its path, then once all was fixed i then used split-wire loom all the way across, So now its basically all new again to this point.
But now the door (AutoLoc) 75lb solenoid crapped on me. Smoked up under the door panel, i had to tear the NEG- off and get the panel off quick before it either melted or caught fire. Somehow the thing grounded out internally so im buying a new one come monday. Also got my soundsystem installed which is very nice to hear once again. Just love my Bass notes!!
As soon as i get some more cashflow ill be under the hood and cleaning it up some and adding a few goodies!
