Also, whats the annodised purple sender unit at the back of the engine bay do? looks like a fuel rail of some sort? Never seen them mounted like that though.

vacum unit every thing your seeing there is all costom made by me

Good job, I wouldn't have the GTR badge, but each to their own!!! Like the paint, you did a good job

thanks agian and if you look close at the badge its not a gtr badge its a gts R simialar :thumbsup:

Apologies, I didn't look at the front on shot till now...........but I'm still not in favour - but as I said different folks, different strokes etc I'm proud to have a Gtst and am happy to leave it at that + I'm a less badges is better type anyway.

BTW what colour is it? Sometimes looks black and other shots it has a deep brown sort of sheen to it. I'm saying black with reflection on the paint, but just wanted to be sure.

its ok guys

the car is jet black maybe is reflection from the wall and the reason i had to make that badge guys is beacuse i used a geniune gtr grill and where the badge goes is massive and to cover the holes thats the only idea i come up with at least not gtr :down:

I love it man, well done.

A lot of effort for good results, you should be proud!

Black with gold wheels looks sex too.

i am happy they you guys enjoy beacuse it was hard for me to do it in my shead with a four year old son running around me but i done it and i am proud :down:

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
