Where did you get it from? Looking through Courtesy Nissan right now.

Looks good.. I thought you would be doing some GO mods..

You could touch up that little chip anyways.. Rolled Fender/Volk FTW!

I'm saving for the Greddy/GTM TT kit so that'll prob be the next GO mod. It seems like the only logical way to go for big power.

I need to start doing the installs myself and stop being so damn lazy.

Absolutely. I could have done it all minus the fender rolling, alignment, and wheel mount and balance. Just don't have the tools for that...

LMFAO, not laughing at you, I'm just picturing your "kick the soap bucket across the yard" reaction. when you do the touch up be sure to let it dry after each layer applied

Im allways down for helping on the turbo install. I did the Powerlab install in my garage. The TT kit will be a PITA but it will be a nice learning DIY. I will have to take you for a ride some time. That should get you motivated for the TT..

Helllll yeaaaa...I'm down for some DIY learning and that ride. I'm still debating on the tuner vs. full turn key kits. I'll need to look around for other misc parts as well (clutch, flywheel, etc).

It's a million times easier to install a TT kit with the motor out. It's a lot easier to make sure everything is tightened properly. Should take an extra hour or two to pull the radiator support.
