Jdm720 Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 http://community.rat...s-720620-parts/ Posted! Apparently I thought there were more parts.. Quote Link to comment
Jdm720 Posted October 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Haven't done much lately... But I got home early from work and started going over some things.. My reverse lights never worked, cables are frayed somewhere.. And I've always liked this on the R34... So I thought what the hell might as well... May tint it red though, it's a little on the bright side.. I'm gonna fix the other reverse light too... Maybe I realized today that I find myself often improvising with alternative solutions to issues I think most people would just want to fix, shall I say, "the right way" My headlights have been giving me problems, I've done some investigating, but decided to just go with HIDs with independent wiring, my right way.. And no not those plastic headlamps, I've come across glass lamps that look exactly like the sealed beams, with an H4 input. I can't seem to find a straight valance, so I'm considering a Yota bumper w/valance... Etcetera.. Anybody know any places that can do some quality reupholstery for a good price..? And I'm gonna try to get the material myself.. Quote Link to comment
nis720 Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 I have some glass H4 housings for sale if you're interested. Quote Link to comment
CharlieW Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 How much u want for those housings? I'd be interested if jdm isn't. Quote Link to comment
Jdm720 Posted October 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Finally got around to installing them, last night... No problems so far, and I can see a LOT better... Oh yea, new fogs coming soon... One decided to commit suicide while I was doing about 90 down the 91... Thanks nis720 :thumbup: 1 Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 I can't see the truck, I have been blinded by your headlights. :lol: Quote Link to comment

Jdm720 Posted November 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Thanks, hopefully I'll have more time to wire up the high beams... I was considering another set of HIDs, but I don't know.. Might just keep the highs Halogen... For now.. Quote Link to comment
nis720 Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Glad the housings worked out for you.... they are pretty bright. Small world, last week I met your brother. He was with one of the guys that went to Krispy kreme with us. 1 Quote Link to comment
Jdm720 Posted December 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 Well, I haven't made much progress.. Been busy looking for a new place, and getting my car on the road.. Recently hit 280k miles, did a tune-up.. Oh and I found a valance in much better condition than mine. (a little plasti-dip solved the color issue, temporary) Truck was down a few days last week while I solved a grounding issue, so I was finally driving my car after over a year.. Missed my truck, but we're back in action. Here's a pic of the new-to-me lip installed, and two of my vehicles getting to know each other.. Quote Link to comment
irishevox Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 how low is your drop???? Quote Link to comment
Jdm720 Posted December 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 how low is your drop???? Four inches in the rear, torsion bars maxed out up front.. Looks a bit lower in that last pic as the truck is sitting halfway down my driveway... Quote Link to comment
_chiefjt Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Did you ever finish that e-brake swap? just wondering 'cause I want to do that to mine. Quote Link to comment
Jdm720 Posted December 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Did you ever finish that e-brake swap? just wondering 'cause I want to do that to mine. You'd like to go hydraulic as well..? Not really, I'm planning on doing so when I swap in an LSD rear w/discs... Should've been done by now, but you know.. Other things always come up and get in the way. Quote Link to comment
_chiefjt Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 yeah I want to go hydraulic, i guess because it seems better overall and for drifting. Where are you getting your LSD from? Quote Link to comment
Jdm720 Posted December 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 I knew a guy with a Yota who used a Godspeed hydro e-brake, tapped into his brake lines for the rear.. WITH the stock rear drums.. He drifted it up in the canyons, bad-ass little truck.. I'm probably gonna use a Pathfinder/Hardbody combo.. Probably... I just tore up the interwebs looking for this link... Something about his e-brake should be somewhere in there.. http://www.toyotaminis.com/forum/build-up-project-threads-23/my-little-canyon-runner-drift-machine-13142/ Quote Link to comment
_chiefjt Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Can't see the pic of the interior shot but his custom hydro e-brake is DOPE! If i can get the money I'll probably buy the hydro e-brake kit and just make a bracket. Then go to a junkyard and take the rear disc brakes from a pathfinder. Seems like a pretty good goal/project. I wonder how good the drum brakes hold up. Oh yeah, and go straight axle with an LSD. Hopefully..................lol Quote Link to comment
_chiefjt Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 found this if you want LSD. Don't know the pricing though. http://www.precisiongear.com/powerbrute.htm Quote Link to comment
Jdm720 Posted December 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 When I was looking for one I think the Godspeed e-brake was going for 100-120.. But JDM Sport had them for 80 or 90 bucks when I saw them at Autocon.. As for LSD, I suppose I'll cross that bridge when I get to it :rofl: I'd to get it cleaned up before the goodies.. Bodywork and whatnot.. Quote Link to comment
_chiefjt Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 I don't know which is the best one. I heard ksport kits are good. Right now I'm just clutch kickin it. AHAHA...... And yeah bodywork for sure. My truck is half gray primered and my driver side door is primered. Still need to do a little bonds and spot putty. You can see it on the 720 thread. It's the JT'S NAPZ BUILD. Quote Link to comment
Jdm720 Posted December 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Hey, we work with what we got haha.. Ah yes, I was looking through that thread the other day, looks like you're making some good progress. Quote Link to comment
_chiefjt Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 yeah it's doing good. But I have to redo the bed because my uncles pitbulls keep jumping on it when they get all excited when I pull up. Just got some dough so hopefully I can sell some things and buy a new carb. and primer. The body is pretty straight just a couple dings so just all wet sanding, priming and sport putty. I'm just gonna run it primered for now. Then when I start driving it I'm gonna lower it some more. It's going to be my daily/drift truck. Quote Link to comment
