Hi all!

Bought a Nismo 400R kit, along with a GTR-spoiler, a few weeks ago, fixed all mountingspots and go it painted.

This morning i went to the paintshop and picked it up and started mounting it.

Some friends came over (the white EVO3 with aftermarket front, fitting the rest tomorrow :), and a celica gt4 -96) and helped me get it done.

Well heres the result, just need to paint the lower part of the doors and behind the sideskirts and its all done!

All parts where in a really good condition, just needed to grind some extra fiberglass off and thats it! Im getting a new hood, 400R style, as soon as they arrive to the shop, then its the way i like it :) Well almost, wouldnt have hurt if it was a real 400R beast ;)

What do you think?

Cheers

Thanks for all your comments! Happy to hear :D

The decals are gonna go, taking them off when im repainting the lower part of the doors and behind the sideskirts! They look kind bad and takes away the clean look of it.

Im overall very happy with the result! The comments i get from people at the streets are really nice!

U sure thats the 400R side skirt and rear bar?????

with that much flare on the side skirts i could've sworn it was the Jun's Side skirt, same goes for the rear bar.

got anymore photos?

I can say im sure... that its not :yes: You're right when you say its JUN skirts and rear bar! They're giving the car a sleeker look in my eyes :( And apperently the 400R skirts are a little harder to get hold of since most manufacturers just go for the JUN skirts since they look alike!

Im gonna upload some more pictures later, showing the rear :ninja:

It all sat me back, with the paint included, about 2,000 AU$ with a fair bit of discount from the shop ;) I fitted it myself, or that would have cost me about 500 AU$ extra.

Cheers!

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.

      Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
