mind if i pick your brain with questions on digi dash wiring in the next couple of weeks???
Don't think I could be any help as this dash came stock when I got this car sorry :[
photoglossy A mate of mine sent me a link your kit up on trademe a week ago funny eonugh. Would be an interesting thought, just can't afford it since I spent a bunch of savings to get the paint job and the vinyl done.
Noticed the front bumper isn't straight, leans downward on the left. This the chassis might be bent from a dig up in the past. When we were painting it the drivers front fender and hood had a red paint, and the rest was black.
Finally had some good weather down here and was able to take some new snaps of the added gloss and vinyl.
Have discovered a few scuff marks on the doors, but guess that shit happens over time which is anus :/
Next thing I would like to do is drop it maybe 50mm, find a stock duck tail, veneers and get rid of the bloody engine stutter.
with the bumper, loosen off the bolts and get someone else to push the bumper into alignment while you retighten.
there is a bit of adjustment available.

Cheers everyone for the complements! Stoked to have all the paint work done, and happy how the gloss and satin came out.
Callumgw the reason I didn't wrap the white all around the bumpers is the texture on them is a lot rougher than the side panels so it would fall off eventually, and plus there isn't a groove for it to sit in either.
Cheers for the heads up Android 360 I'll give that a go when the weather is clear over the weekend and get a mate with a good eyeometer :]
Also on the look out for a drivers side front corner indicator as mine one has had the bash and is holding on by a single screw. Went to one of the wreckers here in Welly, but not a single N12.
Shit ton of Honda's though lol
Hey, i dont have an indicator, but you can get them new still from nissan, i got mine a month ago from Nissan Lower Hutt, it cost $115, i know its a lot but there are none about, i tried.
or try nisparts in seaview as they have some new ones in boxs too. theres about 4 different types for the n12, worth a shot
Thanks Chris for the heads up on the light!
Haven't been out to Seaview for a bit, but will be sure to check them out if I don't have any luck with the wreckers up in the naki next weekend.
I'll drop a link here if any one wants a copy of the EPS file I made for the Turbo vinyl on the side. I traced it 1:1 off my car before I removed it.
Just take this file to any sign writer and they can quickly chop one out for you quickly. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/702559/Langa/Turbo1.EPS
did you ever find an indicator, If you ever need any parts give me a buzz, i have heaps of spares, turbos, ecus, manifolds, block, head, gaskets, gearbox + shit loads more......just in case.

Nah The wreckers were shut when I drove up to the naki so I wasn't able to have a gander what they have there, and I have a feeling they should have some interesting bits being one of the bogan towns of NZ
But yeah I'll be keen to see what bits and bobs you have out there in the hutt. Usually free in the weekend, but during the week I'm at work 8-6.
awesome looking car, hey my car was a bit stuttery too, hope i dont insult anyone here but i put new ignition leads in it, made the car go one trillion times better. and no mis fire

yeh thats a possiblity, but i think they have red under coat/primer coz mine have the same red on the panels when i sanded the paint back enough to see it. i have some wonky bumpers too but its just coz the screw holes have torn out so the bumper dosnt sit straight anymore
