Shameless 'How good does my car look' thread
Discussion
Promised to post new pictures once I bought myself a camera - so here you go. Spent an afternoon polishing and got the results you see here, well happy!

Looks great! Is that a 4x4 example?
Its a GTST,rwd.
VERY Lovely
example. Had it on any rollers yet?
That really is a very tidily seated open mouth/gtr type grille,sits really flush.Most,I've seen, seem to sit forward a cm or 2 on the bumper,& so spoil the line.Any idea who its made by?

Well spotted tuttle, yes she's a GTS 25t 'Type M' (anyone know what the Type M means?)and is hence RWD. Mechanically virtually standard, only a new exhaust - I'm wanting to get a cat replacement pipe soon though, should increase the noise! Would imagine it's around 250ish bhp - could do better!
I was told when I bought it that it's a full Nismo bodykit (you can just about make out the badge on the front grill), seems very high quality and 'fits' properly. I've been a bit concerned with the paint finish on the front though, seems to chip very easily, a respray may be on the cards before too long, then maybe some armourfend.

Decat's a good idea-free power+ noise! Simple & pretty inexpensive.It ought be in the 250bhp region as is,the thru pipe will give it few more ponies.
Are your intending to keep it pretty standard,or do some tweaking?-Beware its more addictive than crack!(alledgedly).
Nismo kit,very good looking & quite subtle,imo,bloody well should fit properly for the big £££'s.

Thanks for the comments all.
I'm hoping I'll be able to resist and keep it fairly standard as I know just how much you could end up spending [used to have a mildly tweaked 200SX].
A decat is probably going to be the limit of what I want to do as insurance is scary enough at the moment - nearly double what the 172Cup cost me!
I'm about to buy another [slightly less potent] Nissan at the weekend to keep the miles off it and for bike transport to the hills, hopefully the Primera will use less fuel...

Dial 'M' for murder,I mean Motorsport spec.
2 main 'M' types,(but 16 odd variants)M 1 & M II,yours is probably an M1.M2 is '96 onwards,mechanically pretty much the same with a facelift:
Deeper,GTR styled bumper,with round indicators.
Slightly more pronounced cutaway in skirting.
Higher 1 piece spoiler.
1 piece rear bumper w/ no rear quarter panels.
New coil packs.
errr...
thats it,I think.

A bit like this one (not an M spec though)
Thankyou Polrules,that f
ing grille, yes
has been a royal pain in the @rse!
I have 2 open mouth/GTR style replacements; 1 is made by the ppl that made the bumper-in a word its a cr@p fit-looks wrong & not really properly securable.
2 is handmade carb-fib & a really nice piece of work,but the bottom strut is slightly bowed,so again, fit is a bit odd looking
I've almost given up on them now,but every couple of months strip it all out again & try something new.
Who said modding was fun?
