Thanks man! :)
The Nardi was an Ebay purchase (You can buy them new from driftworks though). The bolts were bought from the bay too, came all the way from the states! ;)

Right lads & lassies....Its been a while since the last update.
A few things have happened since!

First off I bought some gauges as Iv wanted some for ages! There not Defi, only Prosport but they will do the job!

I got an oil/water temp & boost gauge.

I fitted them temporarily to see what they were like and to find out which colour to settle on, Im going with all white for now. :D

http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...psp8hif99p.jpg

http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...psnm0qcuot.jpg

Fitted, I tidied them up after and have them all the same colour, will update a new interior pic shortly!

http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...psn0wrzfev.jpg

Then in the icy weather......this happened! :mad)

http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...psh1tzwadh.jpg

http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...ps7snezct6.jpg

So the car had to go back to the panel beaters after only being painted a couple of months ago! And I needed to buy a new headlight and an indicator.

So I got onto Andrew as I knew he was breaking his 32, I got a set of headlights off him and an indicator and while I was at it I got a Nismo 2-way diff off him as well! :D

So Iv been Skylineless for 2 weeks and it has sucked! Cant wait to get back into it!

Ill be getting the car back tonight and iv asked my panel beater to paint my grill silver as well.

I fitted the new passenger headlight before taking her to the panel beaters.

http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...psv2204hly.jpg

I will be fitting the new 2 way asap, hopefully this weekend. We took off the back plate yesterday and sealed her up and put in some Fuchs fully synthetic 75w-90 oil.

Case off

http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...psona3gcag.jpg

Sealant on

http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...ps2lwdmyv8.jpg

Filled up with only the best stuff!

http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...psxqeq2x5i.jpg

Oh and I also picked this up, its in fairly good nick but does have a tear on the d/s. I will be getting this repaired when funds allow of it.

http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...psajw1gwz0.jpg

http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...pstngqjavf.jpg

Aaaand I have this genuine Bride rail currently on the way from Japan so that I can put the seat in!

http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...pside7rgu9.png

I will update with some new pics once the car is back from painting and some interior shots!

Jepers thats some turn around! Atleast it was only a relatively light tip.....could have been much worse! New gauges look well!

So I got round to fitting the new Nismo 2-way diff yesterday :D couldn't have done it without my friend Frank so hats off to him!

Old BORING diff out!

http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...psmjnt9nt6.jpg

Old BORING diff...

http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...psmbwz12br.jpg

New FUN diff waiting go in!

http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...psdfwp3udr.jpg

Aaaaaand fitted!

http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...psyjnryc1k.jpg

We discovered that my exhaust is blowing so I will be changing the exhaust soon!
Frank also adjusted my handbrake for me as it was way to slack! It now only requires a slight pull before locking up!
Im still waiting for my new Bride seat rail as there seems to be some delays with Irish Customs, so here is a random interior shot before the Bride goes in!

http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...psiebjfwqo.jpg

We went for a spin right after fitting the diff, I must say its a lot harsher than what I expected! Plenty of banging and clunking, It does lock up well though! ;) :)

Thats all for now folks! :D

Cheers man!

So the car had to get some fresh rubber on the front due to them both being down to the metal thread on the inside, the joys of negative camber haha :sick)

So I got 2 x "Landsail" 215/40/17's which have a surprisinlgy good rating, B wet grip! Cant go wrong for only €55 quid :happy)

Also since installing the 2-way my rear tyres are obviously waring much faster so I had to put the adjustable camber arms back in to counter the rear camber.
After this the tracking was langers so a 4 wheel alignment was badly needed!

I will have to order two more tyres soon as I don't see the rears lasting too much longer :D

Some pics...

Oh and there is a possibility that I will be swapping out the Works for a set of Blitz Type 03's, a wheel I have always been a big fan of! :D

Just in case anyone doesn't know what they look like
