im sure i can whip up a build thread ill just have to find the pictures haha. uhh its a 5 speed sr with an exedy stage 2 clutch as for the engine itself they are just bolt ons t28 turbo, megan headers, hks bov, apexi air filter, hks 3" hi power exhaust, cx-racing intercooler and thats pretty much all i can remember im sure there is more though.

wish i could afford actual te37 the offest on these rotas is harsh.

Comparing rotor size. Opted for stock z32 rotors to save on money looking to get slotted soon or fit the track 350z rotors on all depends

Really love the brake swap the feel of my braking is so much smoother and I doesn't take much for the car to come to a complete halt. Works great with my abs to.

Next isis arm package install pics

looks good, do you have a chart proving the 275whp?

seems like high numbers for simple bolt ons..

That's not too high given that some dynos read higher. Especially if it's an uncorrected graph.

Good looking car and nice numbers. I'd love to see a dyno sheet myself. Which dyno did you dyno the car on?

To be honest I wasn't really paying attention haha I was just concerned about the numbers at the end. I'll find the dyno sheet worst case scenario I'll dyno again.

Control arm install:

Image
Why I needed to replace. Figured I'd go ahead and replace all the arms.

Image

Stock versus Isis. The quality of the Isis parts are great the welds ate good the only problem I had was the powder coating it was very soft and easily scratched.

Image
Tension rod wasn't that difficult to install easiest one to do.

Image
Old toe rod and ruca didnt really need to replace but figured I would anyways.

Image
Oem vs Isis adjustment was easy as well and installation

Image
Oem vs Isis adjustment was very easy installation was difficult for me though.

Image
Install Pictures of toe rod and ruca.

Image
Oem traction rod, didnt get picture comparing I forgot haha I just wanted to be done at this point.

Image
Picture of everything installed was happy to be done with everything. Everything fit with no problem. Just need to get an aligent and everything will be okay. But so far everything feel so much better a lot stiffer. I'll post how well it handles after I get an alignment. But so far everything is good.
