Update

suspension setup
-Silkroad coilovers (typical setup no revalving)
-Tein front suspension bolt-ons (tie rods/tension rods)
-Uprated bushings from energy suspension (upfront only, and steering rack, and swaybar pieces)
-Nothing else (not kidding)

Wheel/Tire Setup
-17x9 +17 CR Kais all around
-Toyo RA1 255/40/17 all around (toyo offers toyo bucks too, but we can only run them in the classes out here, hoosiers are good for about another 2-5/tenth per lap, but they cost way more)

Brakes
-Brembo Grand Turismo (fronts) Normal drilled setup with replacement slotted on hand
-Z32 Rears
-stainless lines
-hawk blues rear, ferodo pads front (no using porterfield after some pitting
issues with the pad and rotors
-Z32 M/C

Engine
-blacktop SR
-pieced together 2871 turbo running like 10psi if that much
-koyo rad
-s-afc tuned
-400cc injectors i think
-massive amount of new ducting and gold heatwrap (cured all overheating issues, also aided in design by the guy who wrote a small article about aerodynamics in a recent issue of SSC)
-setrab oilcooler
-running on 91 (no need to incurr extra expenses)

Interior
-Megan oil press. guage (it was free)
-sparco circuit seat (the cheaper one)
-boost gauge
-still using stock cluster for tach,speedo,water temp
- 1 very fuddging balling cage with nascar doorbars, dimple-dye

I will get some pics up soon of the ducting and interior setup. So far the car has lasted great, they are mainly pushing for reliability rather then trying to beat SE-R and honda challenge guys. Its only the first year for the car/driver. Learning as we go along, he said going to the 17in wheel/tire size helped the most with going to different tracks and the gearing the wheel/tire gave him (stock final drive).

This last event he had a major footbox heat issue. the 02 sensor had popped out and the gases were just cooking the area. We are going to hook up some datalogging around the footbox/engine bay too see if the fact we had little to no ducting previously was the reason for the footbox issues.

The cavitation issues are common with all SRs when ran at high rpm for long duration. Its a well known problem, which is why I was asking you.
