The final parts list as far as exterior will be finalized at a later date. Like any project, things change. I have been offered some crazy 6K widebody kits to simple lip kits. However, I am making my decision based on my own tastes and past relationships with those that have taken care of me.

I'm focusing on grip racing, however once I get over to Japan and mingle with more drifters my interests may change. It will be fun either way.

Surprisingly, having bad toe settings will eat your tires more than negative camber The Meisters are nice

I should have an update by tomorrow. That will probably be one of the final if not the final update before the major transformation takes place. We've figured out how to get the ARC differential cooler custom mounted with all of the fittings and lines in place. However, we're running in to issues with filling the differential fluid since there is now an oil pump in place as well. We're going to try to rig something up to where the actual fill location for the differential fluid is higher than the oem location in order to avoid starvation for the oil pump once it starts running.

The ARC Differential cooler is meant to install near the Evap canister, however since I am not running a single exhaust at the moment, we opted to try something different.

Installed pics. Yes, I know I have a nice kisser on my Amuse muffler Anyways on to the pics and descriptions.



-AN Fitting coming out of Nismo differential cover.




-Line running from differential cover towards inline oil filter.



-Inline Oil Filter




-Inline oil filter line going in to the ARC Oil Pump



-ARC Oil pump



-Line running from ARC Oil pump to ARC Differential cooler core



-Line running back to the differential



-Relocated fill area for differential fluid.



-Switch for Oil Pump to run



-View from the side of the ARC Core and Oil Pump

I didn't run over anything. There was a mishap when my friend was working on the car.
