so yeah, pretty cool, got my wheel in, but then i got the call that our mustang was ready to be picked up, so we went and got it...

i know it's not Nissan, or my build related, but f*** it...

Before....



after... Aeroform Mach 1 Shaker hood ram air system, with Aerocatch hood pins











next up, Eibach springs, and maybe ohlins struts...

[BlackZenki82]

SO, i did a lot of work yesterday... doing turbo works.... hopefully this solves my problems for a while cause pulling turbo/mani setups out of two cars SUCKS... especially a big T28 in a complete engine bay (AC lines, PS line etc)...

anyways, i think i found my exhaust leak.... no wonder my car was so sluggish getting into boost...

comparison shot, S15 Spec R comp housing on left, GTIR comp housing on right... unfortunately the S15 housing DID NOT FIT, due to the machined ring on the housing, not being small enough to mate to the GTIR center housing... FAIL... i think i need an adapter ring, can probably order one from Garrett..

couple shots of the compressor and turbine wheel... strange thing is, that when i test fit the Spec R exhaust housing, it did not fit, the GTIR turbine wheel was WAY to big... GTIR T28 better than a Spec R GT28R??!?!?!

comp wheel...

turbine wheel...

finished product, ready to go in, brand new OEM turbo/manifold gasket, new OEM Nissan MLS exhaust manifold gasket, and repaired waste gate pin... this GTIR turbo is pretty damn big for a T28....

initial results???? HOLY s*** THIS CAR HAULS a**!!!! .... seriously, i went from a struggling 5-6lbs under WOT, to an instant 9.5lbs @ 2800rpm... amazing... the response from my built turbo is absolutely INSANE..

now that everything is fixed, it's time for round two on the dyno... aiming for that big big 340-350.... i made some SERIOUS power @ 7lbs, so i'm thinking if i throw 10-11 more lbs at it i should be around my 340-350whp mark...

might bring it back to Z fever this Saturday, and have Martin finish tuning it (he had to stop last time, mid tuning, due to above exhaust leak)...

results soon to come....

thanks bro, that's what i do this for, you guys!!!

[BlackZenki82]

well guys... pretty long update here... not too too much, but long with a lot of pics... i'll pretty much let the pics and captions do the talking...

finally got my drift wheels, a set of JDM CST Zero1 Hyper's all four are 17x9.5 +15..







and then my Z32 ebrake set up, with cables came in this morning... all i need now is rotors, and conversion lines...

and then yesterday, for my birthday, my buddy got his buddy to get some rolling shots of the old girl with his Nikon D70s... pretty cool pics i think... and there's a lot... maybe someone with some photo shop skills can work em over a bit....























and that's pretty much it.... i don't care if my wheels are rotas, i never get to see em choppin' down the road, and now i do and it looks pretty SICK to me...

pretty much it for now....

[s14derrick]

damn she looks clean as f*** in those pictures.

who cares if they are rotas man . your rolling on them you have other wheels for the track

[spooled240]

car looks good!

but you shoulda got some rolling shot of her sexy a**

[BlackZenki82]

thanks guy!!!!

and spooled, your wish, is my command!!

[mRodiek]

Looks really good, but thats way too much stretch for those battles.

[nevertheless]

OEM Nice wheel selection. She looks purrty. The silvia emblem in the grill bothers me though.

[Ramonesfreak2010]

and jeebus i love your avatar....

lol thanks. I will have a new avatar of her every week.

thanks guy!!!!

and spooled, your wish, is my command!!http://i30.photobucket.com/alb...9.jpgh ... lb...0.jpg

I love this thread.

[BlackZenki82]

i agree with the stretch on the CST's, 205's on a 9.5" wheel is a bit much... and they're not battles.... they're what the battles are copies of... CST Zero1's are only available in japanland last i checked...

also, been thinking of removing the silvia from the grille, and just leaving the outer tabs....

[mRodiek]

My bad

[White Comet]

i thought the battles and cst's are the exact same wheel. not sure though but i remember seeing threads arguing about if its true or not

[BlackZenki82]

If you find out let me know...

myself and a bunch of other people are under the impression these are the "brand name" of what the battles are copying, and only available in japan...

[White Comet]

well thats what lots of threads on zilvia say. plus Atech supplies MB and CST so what i'm told is that mbs are just rebadged csts

[4wheeldrifts13]

MB' Battles are replicas of the Kazama CST wheels

[BlackZenki82]

^^word....

[White Comet]

proof?

[4wheeldrifts13]

seriously..?

[BlackZenki82]

4wheel is the proof.... most legit mofo i know.... and i mean SUPERLEGIT...

[White Comet]

seriously..?

uhhhh yes seriously. i've seen the argument many times but have never seen any proof.
