I was looking at that too! Was gonna get it along with the cage the lad was selling but he had chopped the wires on it Even though they come with an obd connector and just plug into it !

Great job so far noel, lookin forward to the progress.....and nice purchase on the seat!!

So car is currently over with pepstrex getting ready in anticipation for drive4charity. Havent done a lot yet but managed to fit the fire extinguisher, brake master cylinder stopper, the engine damper and the glovebox covered in Bride material (thanks to head). plenty of updates in the comming weeks

[NoelB]

Samll bit done. Gauges in. Have still the Blitz's to fit. Also have wingliners in. Greddy turbo timer in tonight along with the Yashio Factory water temp gauge, not working however, will have to research it more. Gave the engine bay a good cleaning, well petko did the most of it lol for Meet and Great in Boyle on Sunday. Waiting on brand new superformas 25mm bolt on spacers tomorrow from Shane in Drive in Style and camber it in at the front more. Also Petko was kind enough to give me a standard Nissan footrest, factory option in 180's and a rare part so I'm told. Probably wont doa whole pile more before the drive4charity and just drive it for the first time in almost 3months!!



Greddy turo timer installed since

Looking well Noel will sound sweet with the new system too

Right so got forced into doing Mondelloon the 30th, whether im gonna regret this or not is yet ta be seen lol But in the mean time I reckoned the car needed some attention to have it ready for the track so landed it over to Petko yet again whhile I dont need the car for a week or so. Went over to get full fluid change and everything checked out but turned out it needed a little bit more love than what I thought,

The clutch was wanked so thank god I had the HKS twinplate clutch with flywheel and release bearing so that got thrown in. Rear subframe bushings were shagged so got Powerflex bushings off Shane in Drive n Style. While the subframe was out it got sandblasted.





Also got myself some braces, c pillar brace from forum member s13/180sx and wing braces from Gem.



And after a lot of looking a Buddyclub Spec II also from Gem


Have been talking about buying these wheels for months off Dave in Japanese performance and finally bit the bullet. Wont be running these on the car until I get the rear 50m quarters put on. There riverside Allstadt's 9.5 et -1

Pics didn't attach will put up pics later and more updates later

More pics above on post #118

So got the wheels in speedy time from Dave. Absolutely no hassle with him despite what I was told. I found him a gent ta deal with. As soon as they landed had ta give them a test fitting.





Also decided a cage might be no harm at all for the 30th please god I wont be needing it but after keeping my eye on it for a while and just waiting for the money ta come ta me I bought this cage off blusrule. Very sound lad ta deal with and again no hassle with him. Came with weld in door bars but they will be removed until I find some way to quick release them.



Probably the best decision I have made with this car....or should I say been persuaded into lol was buying a gt2871r off Stevo. God I love the turbo. Liked the Hks 2540 I had but the 2871 is just in my opinion after driving my car the ultimate turbo for a road going sr. No pics but it looks like a snail!!

I'll leave it for the time being with this, my inspiration car at the minute.
