First things first I ditched the deep dish wheel and out a momo out of an old mx5 I had.

Then I got a set of r32 gtr seats and put them in . Massive improvement over standard seats imho.

Daily drove the car and about June 2014, decided to start accumulating goodies :)

Picked up this GReddy rhc6 turbo kit . it includes a manifold adaptor, external wastegate with screamer pipe, oil lines, and elbow as well as the turbo

The turbo's made my IHI Japan, who make kits for apexi and oem turbos for Subaru etc. Couldnt find much info online about it besides an add on JDM distro's site . They say its good for 400-450:happy) :happy) :D bt:)

To match the turbo i was going to build a forged rb25. I bought some HKS step 2 pistons off a seller on the Skyline owners club , but when they arrived they looked like this....:sick) :sick)

Hoping to get the car up to the workshop once the next batch of goodies arrive later this week !

Seats are next on the cards!

So picked up some seats on Sautrday night, driving the bluebird to Bunclody , was ...ehm , an adventure! Got blasted in a snow storm on the way back (wtf:

They've 2 marks on one seat , which I'll be getting repaired. FIA approved and still in daybt:) Not that I need them to be in date but the FIA thing was important to me as I don't fancy using fake or non certified seats.

http://i1065.photobucket.com/albums/...psx57sv3dg.jpg

Pictures make the marks look 1000% times worse.

Stickers arrived for my brakes and wheels
