Another episode of "what's in the garage"...I was up at the garage this weekend working on my car and saw this car for the first time. I sat there staring at it for a minute.

Damn, life and work have been incredibly crazy and busy these past few weeks.
I got my brand new Z32 backing plates in from nissanparts.cc. Still waiting on R33 e-brake cables from them. Also I got my Agency Power front conversion lines and SPL rear lines. Since I had a S13 Greddy RSPL FMIC kit laying around, I decided not to let it go to waste and did some cutting to make it fit the S15. I finished mocking everything up for the most part. Just waiting on my Tial bov to come in so I can get the flange and piping all welded up. Also received my Greddy intake pipe in. Since inlet is 3 inch for z32, I'm planning on getting a spacer made so I can use the stock s15 maf on it for now....instead of using an ugly 3 to 2.5 inch reducer coupler. And since S13 and S14 intercooler mounting points are different on Greddy kits, I made mounting brackets for it. I bought 6061 aluminum flat bar and bent it on a vise. I didn't have a torch handy so I went ahead and bent it and then welded where it cracked...should work great! |

You don't have to be rich to own an S15. You just got to be ready when the opportunity comes along. |

Finally received my wheel faces back from polishing. Spent some of Saturday doing some touch up. A company in cali called California Chrome Wheel did the work. I only paid 300 bucks plus shipping there and back. I felt like it was an amazing price considering other companies were quoting me 500+ dollars for the work. There was even one company that quoted me 800 dollars.
Then spent today doing the final assembly at the garage. Still need to install my Volk Racing center caps that I recently bought new so people will stop calling these things VS-XXs. 160 dollars for center caps was hard to swallow but oh well... |

Snapped this picture of my buddies LS FD while I was driving home from the garage. This is my first rolling shot and considering I was driving while taking the pic, I think it turned out pretty nice.

Today I took my greddy intake pipe and chopped off the bov recirculation port and the port where one of the crackcase vents goes. I am not recirculating my bov and I guess this was made for s13 sr since there is already a crankcase vent port on the turbo inlet that bolts to the stock turbo so no need for either. I filled/welded the holes up first.
Then I grinded the welds down smooth. I need to go back and fill some of the thinner areas. I'll regrind and go back and polish the whole thing. |

I got the intake all done. Just need to do some final sanding with 3000 grit and polish it. I took a hone and smoothed out the inside of the intake as well.
Here is the plastic spacer I had machined so I wouldn't have to use a reducer coupler. Bryan Fuller built Impala. Every bolt on this car is ARP. |

Thanks man. I do not remember giving anyone any directions but then again I was so zoned out the whole weekend. I had been stressing out all week to get the car running for IA and finally got it done at 8PM on Friday.
