NIce specs, what's some of the history behind the build?

This is actually my second GTR after bending the chassis on the first one back in 2011.  It was literally in the last stages of being built to how I wanted at the time (only a brakes  upgrade remaining because they'd sent me the wrong parts). It then sat in storage waiting to be re-shelled, kind of pissed me off every time I thought of it so nothing happened for a couple of years. 

Then I bought a shell in 2013 but as I was doing long stints of FIFO at the time, not much happened so I sold the shell in 2015 and was going to part out the first car. 

Not long after that, my dad had to have a emergency quadruple bypass recently which put things into perspective. I didn't like how I'd never finished building a GTR so I went and bought another GTR that needs some work and here we are. The first car will serve as a donor car  to the current project although the spec has changed quite a bit since then. 

Hopefully everything goes well with this build and I can enjoy it until I am physically no longer able to do so.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • 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.
