  1. That's what I thought it was but I've been asking around and haven't seen those anywhere until now! "Made of fiberglass for the serious racer" LOL How do you like it Stony? I was thinking about making one down the line but was worried about how complicated it would be to get it to work with all the stock components, as this basically looks like a shell of the dash. Not cheap though. I suppose if you get rid of all the stock stuff though, it's moot. Would be pretty sexy like this
  2. Is it just the dust or is that a custom dash?
  3. You mean you didn't even wait for our response before making your decision??
  4. I got it from gooddeals18.com. Refurbished. It took me too long to get around to installing it to even bother trying to return it.
  5. No such thing as off topic here. It's just like I described above--after any button is pressed despite the fact that command worked, the fob gives you the out-of-range signal meaning it got no response from the brain. I tried rebooting. Some say that the antenna needs to be replaced but that only works for a select few. Others say some sort of resistor mod does it, but it's either temporary or not a reliable fix. I can't figure out how to get a hold of DEI to ask them if mine is one of those that should have been recalled or not.
  6. Quoting the forum rules always seems to come in threes

  7. I may or may not have one or more kill switches now. This is why I wanted to upgrade to a 2-way alarm. The siren may be useless but a baseball bat sends a message. I was thinking about getting an electronic hood latch as an aux however to make it basically impossible to pop the hood without the fob, makes silencing the alarm much more challenging.
  8. PS Don't get the Viper 5701 alarm, it sucks! After weeks of trying to troubleshoot the thing (and not being able to get a hold of tech support due to a barrage of website redirects to dealers and faq pages) I find that apparently a lot of people had the same problem I'm having. The problem is either the brain, which was recalled at one point but I can't find out it mine is the fixed version or not, or the fob -- in which case a replacement is around 50 bucks, so it's not even worth trying imo when a whole alarm kit is like 100 on ebay. Third alarm is the charm?
  9. Yeah it's sort of on the fence, I'd say it looks more gold than orange. Is that a bad thing?
  10. I'm not even sure what level of orange means, but I'm these are all good. I don't really like the nissan orange however... I always think of lotus with blinding colors like that, they seem to be on top of things. Hard to get something like this accurately represented in pics though. I don't think these are the same though.
  11. Yeah I saw that the other day while perusing CL due to the well chosen key words.
  12. Yeah I'm sure they have a cog for every possible combo, you need to come down from 19 teeth to what, 16.5?
  13. I feel like this thread is giving the rb a hard time. You mean weren't used at all? Either way he lives in Sacramento... I'd say 90% availability, but, it's a toyota... I'm not so sure about the crazy hp part, but also don't forget the sr's cg advantage. I wouldn't say the numbers mean "nothing" but I agree that they aren't accurate. Besides, 250hp? They're also rated at 276 I believe, although bone stock skylines have been dynoed at around 310. All three are going to have the same advantages when you talk about swapping them and cutting the fat. I don't know anybody that gets one of these and puts in a 2" catback, a 1" aftercooler, and the belt driven fan, all while adding 800lbs to the chassis. Basically disregard those numbers when you talk about a hybridz I thought the restrictor actually brought it down to like 8psi, removing it goes to 15 right? Either way, the upgrade is free giving the rb an even earlier lead. True, potential doesn't mean anything if you just want a quick 350--do whatever gets you to your goal quicker. Not all of us are going for a 1500hp daily. Still, it's a lot sexier and unique imo. When I run into a guy with an sr, he's the one that's impressed... I think that might be an exaggeration on the availability of the sr parts though. Sure on Vs you have to by double the parts and intake/exhaust ducting etc. gets more complicated, but I'm not so sure that when you buy cams you pay by the lobe... Everything in the prices are relative. More expensive probably, but it's not all gonna be 3/2 the price of the sr equivalent. Besides the sr is going to have to be taken further than the rb just to catch up, so you have to factor that price in as well. Yeah where did that idea come from? Would be nice... Let's face it, the hard decision for everybody is the same. Do I get the rb or do I settle? Actually that's not true, I'd probably get the sr if I was getting the car for autocross. If this were an sr20 v. rb25 though I would say no-brainer.
  14. Mine was the same way, actually turned out to be mostly the (what used to be) rubber covered metal door seal channel, thing. Caused by a leaky door, or jet blast water from the front at ludicrous speed. If you don't have the metal kicker guard or it's rusted away as well it's just a matter of time before the rubber comes off and the unprotected channel turns to dust
  15. Is that a trick question? I think my hood wing is a nismo genuine product.
  16. Yeah I kinda figured by the time I got to the "1 speed" June Fools?
  17. They look brand new, did you have them polished? Yeah I used to think rims with an even number of spokes were dumb as well but mine with six are growing on me. Really dull and beat up though.
  18. Wow that's really bizarre. Defeats the purpose of being able to adjust it imo. Perhaps instead of changing the signal it just tunes the the current going to the actual needle to decrease the deviation, ie for alternate faces with higher top speed markings.
  19. Sounds like the perfect disguisable weapon I think missle switches that control leds are more hybridz's style. JK JK! But seriously, like led switches that light themselves. P.S. nice avatar
  20. I don't usually like the spider web type rims but those are pretty classy, and that's all I have to say about that.
  21. You're finding this out now? I'm not familiar with that one. The plaque was my first choice because it might look more like it goes there, due to it's shape, so I'm glad it won. I just got one and installed it as well. There's one hole it isn't big enough to cover but whatever, it draws enough attention away. Now, what to do about the choke lever slot...
