Lovely example there! Looks pretty much perfect.

[ChrisS13]

Alright Joe, Chris from Club323f here!

Car does look tidy!

[Joe1989]

Haven't really don't much with this since i bough it. Serviced twice, new set of HID's and Navan skirts, Spats and JDM rear bumper all be put on. I'll be phoning cnc on Monday/Tuesday to sort out an exhaust.

I'll need to get some decent photos at some point!

Got a wee update to this,

Was driving into my street and a van decided it was awesome to reverse into the front of my car. Doing this to the front bumper:



Damage wasn't serious, but it needed a few bits and pieces to be sorted. After fighting with the third party and insurance companies for two months finally got the repair approved and it now looks like this:






Sorry for the Piss poor pictures, but im well chuffed with the work IA Bodyshop has done - Top job and the pictures show it no justice.

I've also got this for it getting put on Monday



The manifold is a Apex Type 3 as you probbley all know its based on the Tomei Manifold...
Its also going into CNC to get rid of the mongoose exhaust before JAE and hopefully a H-Dev Stage 1a base map (But i doubt this will be done before JAE)

Cheers!

[Joe1989]

Well the new manifold is on! Apex Type 3..

Had some issues with one of the Apex gaskets breaking, and then having to remove it all, replace the studs on the manifold and then put it all back on again. This time its stayed together more hassle than was expected with a brand new manifold and gasket however its on now!





Also finally managed to get it into CNC and get a exhust on it. 3" Straight though with should complament the Apex downpipe, turbo elbow and manifold nicley.





Next is down to JAE and a Hdev stage 1a Map at some point.

Thanks for looking.

Joe.

Got a few new bits for this to go with a turbo upgrade sometime later in the year. Been having Almighty trouble with gaskets blowing with this new manifold so its all getting changed again.

Nismo Engine Mounts:


Driftworks New Oil & Water lines:


ECU to go away and be nistuned:


ACT Prolite flywheel:


ACT extreme Organic Clutch kit



K-Sport 356mm Brake Kit




Still to get:

GT2871R
740 Nismo Injectors
Considering a New Front Mount
Tomei Extreme Manifold Kit
Tomei FPR and Gauge
Defi Oil Pressure & Oil Temp Gauge

Once i have all that i will sort out getting it mapped on nistune (Not sure who yet though), Hopefully later this year.

Cheers for looking.

[CharlieBoi567]

brilliant progress in such a short time mate! Inspiring!

[Joe1989]

Cheers man, Appreciate it! Looking forward to getting it back out and hopefully on Knockhill!

[tet offensive]

Nice clean looking motor , I really like 350z rims they suit the s14 .

[jj205mi16]

looks great buddy, hopefully get a look at it at knockhill sometime this year, some quality parts your fitting!

[Chriscooke]

Looking spot on. Looks like you're splashing some serious cash on it also, good work.

[nas241]

Nice looks like a good project, liking the colour!

[Joe1989]

Cheers all, Appreciate it! Cant wait to get it back out and fit all these parts!

[sx boy]

Blimey your not holding back with the spending are you !! LOL.
Be nice when done .

[Joe1989]

I Decided to go to Singapore for holiday and the GP last year so ran out of car money. But since i got back I've accumulated all the parts i now wanted to get this back on the road.



GT2871R - I did consider the GTZ2876R but it was too expensive and this is a direct bolt on too.



Ignore the toy baby, that's not for the car, but parts here are:

Tomei FPR/Gauge
Tomei 740cc Injectors
Tomei Extream manifold and fitting kit



Couple of Recaro seats for good measure


I've also got an 80mm Z32 Nissan MAF
Apexi 80MM Z32 Intake
Driftworks Rocker Arm Stoppers
Oil Spray Bars
japspeed front mount
General Service items etc

It'll go down to protuner at some point next month to get mapped once all of the items have been fitted at automek in east kilbride.


After preparing the engine to start after sitting still to long and priming the oil system etc hooked up a recharged battery and this happened:
