I purchased a item on eBay to customise a drag wing but didn't work out as I planned.

Damn eBay cwap... I haven't viewed it in person just yet as I'm out interstate working.

Looks like it's just the clear coming off.

I've got the head drain that's going back to sump, i had the oil catch can next to the fuse box but looks like we'll need to customise another one as the hypertune plenum extended more then we anticipated, also mite be running another catch can on the other side, all Lines are plumb back into sump.

Is the Hypertune intake plenum right??? It seems to poke waaaaaay too far away from the engine. The angles from the cooler look like they're going to be all out of whack.

Otherwise looks awesome!

What trigger setup are you using?

V2 hypertune plenum is all bolted on, it did take me by surprise how far it was located.

But we'll cut a hole in the panel, pic below... Piping will be all good just some panel work.

Trigger system is up in the air, we may go custom like in ibomu gtr or modify my standard item

For the $$ a Hypertune costs I'd be wanting it to be a straight bolt on affair and some sort of sexual favours to boot!

Take a look at the Hi Octane trigger setup, I just got one and looks good. Crank pickup works off a small trigger disc that mounts to the back of the timing belt gear. it's quite neat-

Damn nice build!

Thanks for the info on the Hypertune. IT IS A MONSTER. Mine ships out tomorrow!

Didn't expect it to protrude THAT far over! Yet another thing to add to the relocate/fabricate list.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
