Some other updates:
new endless ns97 front pads
new turbo & wastegate gaskets from Blitz
new Nissan exhaust manifold gasket
Freshly wrapped Blitz down/frontpipe with tomei egt and AF meter sensors
After a full can of flame proof resin coating
JIC bullet catback exhaust and Sard torque control valve
The turbo and full exhaust are now fitted, but I want to reposition the wastegate. I don't know if it is a wise decision (probably not
) but I am thinking of pointing a screamer pipe straight through the hood, fit the pipe with a small exhaust/rain flapper and probably use some sheet alumium or something like this to 'heat shield' the hole:
I allready started hacking away at the old wastegatepipe (left) as I will re-use the old flanges.
Rolled the arches with very slight pull in the rear, first time I used one of those fender tools
Last picture
My impatient little brother crudely modified it with paint
for a rough impression of how it will look after real paint. Although most people seem to paint the lower black part of the oem nisssan skirts as it makes the car look lower I plan on retaining it and continue that line on the front lip and rear aprons.
