... so good! I've had the GTST just over a week now, everything running smoothly with exception to a couple of niggles that I'm getting sorted out.
Niggle 1: GTR spoiler has not been well fitted over in Japan, I think there are some fitment holes under the spoiler that have been left unplugged, so if you pour a fair bit of water over the boot (like when washing the car) then it pours straight in to the boot :swear: Off to the bodyshop on Thursday
Niggle 2: Crunch going into 4th Gear. When I got the car, it was happening consistantly when shifting into 4th at 60mph. Now it seems to be doing it later at about 80mph instead
. This is probably the most worrying niggle... hope it doesn't mean new gear box time... but it is under warranty
My mechanic friend is gonna drain the oil for me and take a look to see if anything obvious is wrong. Not sure what I do from there :uhoh:
Niggle 3: The Final Niggle!: Odometer is 'stuck'. So I've not clocked up any miles over the last week
But in the long term this can only be a bad thing. Getting it sorted in a day or two.
So far I've not done a great deal to the car. First thing I did was replace the HKS mushroom filter with an Apexi Power Intake. Also fitted some little cosmetic things like HKS oil cap, HKS rad cap, smoked indicator lenses etc.
Tonight, I'm gonna fit my nice new Mr Gaitor gaitors from Ebay :bounce: And am also going to have a go at fitting the grounding kit I got too :bigthumb:
Still waiting on the stereo cage being returned to me from the importer and then I can fit my stereo in too and finally have some music on while I'm driving
As soon as I've done these few bits, I'll be taking some piccies and post them up here for your satisfaction
:drivin:
EDIT; Sorry but no selling till you have reached 50 posts:nono: Thanks Richard.
