$4000 !?

You lucky bastard. $4000 here in CA will get you a bone-*** stock 240 with some coil overs and maybe aftermarket wheels.

Whell i finishished my FMIC install and i have to admit it looks pretty clean. I removed my ugly spoiler and i will probially keep my hatch spoiler/wing free . I also installed a r32 gtr seat (which is really confortable and really form fitting). When i finished my FMIC install i took it on a drive. Everything running fine except i boosted to 1.4 bar and knew something wasent right. I came back and asked one of the guys at the shop and he found that the wastegate line wasent plumbed in with the boost gage line. So i made another 3 way connection into the boost gauge line and no more over boost . Here are some pics

Nice looking 180sx. I paid 6000 for mine but that got it into the U.S. and everything. But mine is no way as clean as yours.

after i cut the holes i hooked up all the intercooler pipes to see if it would fit then i took some pcv pipe and made a cut in it like a hotdog bun and put some weatherstrip cement inside of it and placed it on the bare metal so my intercooler pipes wouldent rub.

I bought the Apexi suction kit with the z32 afm for 370 :/Iam happy with my purchase considering its 350 brand new + about 150 for a used z32 afm. I just bought some SARD 550cc injectors for 280 used but it was a good deal .

Next item for purchace is a nismo/trust/tomei fuel pump and then to get my ecu reflashed for the z32 afm and 550 cc injectors

heres a pic of oil pressure gauge/water temp/air fuel gauge and injectorsi payed 440 dollars for everything
