Well the old girl is going in for some major work, new custom stainless 4” vibrant exhaust, new nismo turbos, head gasket and studs, new tune with some bigger injectors will keep updated hopefully tracks opened up again when the car is done. Goes in for paint as well as I’m been collecting weather stripping for the car for about a month now. All new retainers everything gunna be just beauty!

Can anyone confirm that these are legit n1 turbos? They do look all good i just noticed  the compressor side looks nothing like my old n1 turbos. I know they aren’t ceramic and they are in good condition.Just want them to get me by until I get my single setup figured. I’ll be running 1.4 bar with the twins for now.

New turbos fitted with the new greddy down pipe to a brand new custom 4” stainless exhaust! My buddy Rashid is super talented with the tig. We used all vibrant pieces with a vibrant muffler. Super high quality stuff turned out great!

after a good night of hard spirited drving, it was bvious that the new exhaust system brought the temp of the exhaust down by alot. at 1.4 bar now and the nismo injectors are at there limit......clutch slipping, injector duty cycle almost 100 now. time for some new parts!! cars never felt so good. my engine is stock minus the head gasket and seems to handle the power fine minus the clutch.

just wanted to add, if you guys are looking for 4" mufflers with a 4" inlet that is super hi flow this vibrant muffler i got sounds unreal! it is very loud but super deep. ive seen a couple threads and posts on guys looking for mufflers for custom setups with 4" inlet and didnt find much. it was this or the aes mufflers so i chose the vibrant as not many poeple do. just to be different glad i did sounds way better than the hks,tomei, or kakimoto gt1 oz(in my opinion). althought we have no laws down here at all for exhaust so might not be the best setup for places with stricter emission laws etc.

Finally got the exhaust all finished up but ended up finding a bent wastegate bracket on the new turbos hopefully just bending it back solves issue for now. Looks like shipping dropped it.

This is the bent up bracket had a mate right fired up when I saw this. Oh well could be bombs and bullets cars almost back together gunna see how she does at 1.4 bar. Tested the wastegate with some applied air seemed fine.

ya looks even flusher now as I just quickly wrapped some electrical tape around the evc to make it tighter as I didn't have the proper 2 side tape. It now sits totally flush with a proper install. josh's custom parts are unreal he also made me a dual 60mm gauge holder that mounts centre vent ill be posting pics after install.

ya mate I thought so myself, whatever the material he uses is a way higher quality than OEM parts

Custom gauge pods(centre vent direct clip in) for bnr32. I can get more if needed. Not a cheap part I may add. What good parts aren’t lol.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
