It has midori dump pipes, 2x70>Into 80mm front pipes (not sure of brand as rage was missing) 3in 100cel cat and a hks cat back (the one with the huge mufflers in it.

But of corse for curiosity sake when I installed it i had a look down the exhaust and being a jasma exhaust it came with a free resrtictor in the center muffler

I had always intended to replace the exhaust anyway as I was never happy with how low it was and It didn't sit up in the rear bar how I would have liked

So now it's going to get a fully custom made stainless steel one that hugs right up into the body

Only a little update this time, I took the exhaust off the car and took it for a drive (I'm sure the neighbors were real impressed lol) and it reved clean and it made power!! luckily the next job was always going to be exhaust, so me and my mate will be building an exhaust for it ASAP

Also the car has decided to leave it mark around the place and that will be the next little job that also needs doing, is power steering and transfer case oil

Also turns out the leaks on the power steering are form the feed line to the pump and the transfer case is the speedo seal, so will order the o ring for that and do the actuator seal while I'm at it. The power steer line I will probably make up a custom one using dash fittings

Sorry haven't up dated this for a couple of weeks but was crook and then had things to do to the house,

I've only done a really small thing to it. Basically I've never liked that the superlaps don't have center caps and got some adaptors that allow me to fit some

Went from this

Another small job this week, the boost gauge has been an eye sore for a while after the bracket broke

So a trip to skyline spares and a little money later I was able to buy a second hand bracket and fit the gauge in it. Looks a lot better, it's amazing how the little things can make a huge difference

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
