No real updates been majorly waiting on parts which sucks massively.
However had a few bits painted while been waiting, a bit different to whats normally done, Rear s14 subframe, front subframe and tension rod brackets all been undersealed and then painted over. has a textured finish but seems like it will be super durable.
had the GTR Diff and DW solid diff bushes fitted up also.

Those brakes are very good but are you using the s13/skyline style drum handbrake mechanism? Only the ones I've seen that use the calliper mounted handbrake are not strong enough to hold the weight of an sx parked. Had a friend with them a while ago now and his car failed MoT as they do not have enough breaking effort to pass that either.
It's a shame as they work really well on track.
Having ogled lots of build threads, this is definitely one of the most impressive I have seen. Well done!
Those rear wheels are HHHUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGE !!!!

What spec are your rears? I just fitted 18x12-7. Needed kouguchi +70mm wings and 275/35 tires to get them even close to fitting.
Mine are 18x12 et 20 (i think), prob about -10 with spacer with the adjustable lower arms extended and 14 subframe i think i am gonna have to come down on the spacer or it will never fit lol
