Yes, I know flat black is gay, but its getting media blasted Thursday of this week. Then it will be going R32 GTR front end conversion, Flat Subaru Rally Blue with Rays Gold 17x8 and 17x10's. So the black made it until now, and i wasnt driving around in primer.

Current Mods:Full 3 in turbo backTrust FMIC w/ 3-2.5 in pipingOS Giken goodies370cc injectorswalbro 255S-AFC IIFET Turbo TimerApex Profec BB&M Short Throw shifter (authentic, no ebay "style")JIC Majic Full 8 way w/ height in backGAB 8ways in front

Parts on Order:Equal Length ManiT04EHKS Intake Mani

Hopefully then Ill be turning up the boost a bit. This is my DD and Ive yet to have a problem. I just did the Nissan Quest Alternator swap and Im currently working on the write up for that.

Let me know what yall think!

GTR front = FAIL

Im really not going to do it, but I had to put a feeler out there for yalls thoughts on it.. I did however pick one up (full conversion) for 400 so It will be there on my next project with rb26 planted.

Im going to use a HKS mani if I can get in touch with my brother. He's in Austrailia with the Marine corp and hes seen quite a few running around. The car has definitely woken up with my mods. I'd say the most beneficial was the fuel system and the tune. Being that the ceramic is still on there and 1 bar is the limit, Im really just lying in wait for the T04e. If you do a tune with a knowledgeable person, you will definitely see why the RB20 has so much potential. Im hoping in about a month Ill be at or around the 400 mark.

Thanks for the comments guys, Ill keep you posted.

That is a Trust unit. Piping is custom but they made these FM's for skylines to avoid the crossover pipe. I got mine from Okinawa Parts Plus. My brother is stationed in Aus/Iwakuni(sp?) and he can send them to me. I paid about 800 for this one. If youd like Ill get him to grab another one.

Not all as bad as you think. I bought my kit (piping,fmic,bov) for 189...all worked great.....but the piping alone was worth it. I since have upgraded the FMIC, but no regrets on the EBAY kit.....plus I traded the BOV for a Sony Surround sound with DVD player.... Original ebay cooler on bottom....XS Engineering on top
