Been a busy 3 or 4 months since the last update. Here's what's been going on.

I picked up an accusump to prevent oil starvation. Some billet mounts were also ordered to suit.

My surge tank arrived which I ordered a few months back. This was supplied by Aftermarket Industries in Australia. This is the sp800 surge tank and accepts 2 Walbro 460lph fuel pumps.

Pumps installed.

Injector dynamics new 1700cc's should quench the little SR's thirst just fine.

Fabrication

It was time to get all the fab work sorted for the car.

First up was the intercooler piping. This was made from mandrel bent aluminium.

Ends of the pipes had Wiggins ferrules welded on to suit the wiggins clamps.

A 90 degree elbow was welded onto the compressor cover to move the wiggins clamp away from the manifold heat.

All done:

Next up was the exhausts turn. A 3 inch down pipe was fabricated with a flexi to retain some movement.

The twin 44mm Tial wastegates were plumbed back, these are a slip fit so I can remove and make it external as well.

3 inch twin tips was the choice for the back with a v band flange near the diff for easy changes.

Next up was the boots turn. I had not planned to do this but somehow made the call to do so. The boot floor was chopped to make way for a fuel cell. This would make plumbing up the system a lot easier and looks quite bad ass if I do say myself.

A frame was made to strengthen what was cut and also to hold the cell, surge tank and accusump.

I chose to go with a jaz fuel cell.

Test fit

A one piece swaged panel was made and welded into place. This gave a nice and tidy look.

A battery holder was fabricated for the new oddysey battery which will also be housed in the boot.

Some bash bars were fabricated for the front and rear. Hopefully should provide some protection.

On the rear it adds another jacking point for ease of lifting.

More chopping. I had been contemplating doing this for a while but I couldn't bring myself around to doing it. The choice was made, the guards had to be chopped. The reason was that the rear was running way to much camber to be practical. This way I could run close to zero camber as possible with a bigger tyre when needed.

No going back now

Home time. I had a few things to tick off my list so it was time to get stuck into it.

First job was to plumb up the hydraulic handbrake.

Got onto routing the lines. I chose to route them underneath the car for a cleaner look.

I drilled a hole for the line to route through. Use a grommet so the line doesn't rub anywhere.

Gk tech supplied these isolation clamps in their kit which were very handy. I used one to clamp the line down before the grommet. It was bolted down using riv nuts.

I didn't get any pics from underneath. It's quite simple just run the line to the calipers and use the supplied isolation clamps to secure it to the chassis.

Since I have a fuel tank in the boot now the factory one isn't needed. To remove this it's quite simple. Remove the subframe and disconnect everything connected to the tank. There will be lines from the fuel filler side running to the tank so these will need to be removed. After everything us undone it's just a matter of un bolting the two straps and down it comes.

With the tank gone there was a massive patch left where I hadn't undersealed. Although no one would ever see this couldn't stay like this thanks to my OCD Haha so it was re coated.

Up next was the dashes turn. I had already modified it to fit with the rollcage but the bottom of the stereo surround needed to be trimmed to suit the position of the hydraulic handbrake.

Dash went back in to see how much needed to be trimmed from the lower half.

Slowly trimmed until it fit

Fitting quite nicely now

Centre console and shifter surround bolted in. Loving how it's looking, makes me want to drive it. All I can do is sit it for now lol.

While the subframe was out it was the perfect time to change the axle bolts. The ones that the wreckers gave me were obviously too short so I ordered some new hardware from Nissan.

Genuine Nissan bolts, nuts and washers

Old vs new

Much better

The boot needed a coat of paint do I decided to match the interior colour and go for a satin black. Everything was masked and prepped for paint

Primer done

Underneath as well

Looking much better

Back to the painters.

It was time to get the car looking nice again as the 4 and Rotary Nationals were right around the corner. The car was dropped off to GT Refinishers.

It was straight onto the long task of masking up the car. A good 6 hours later it was ready to go into the booth

The roll cage got painted house of kolor candy apple red with a metal flake.

Next up was the over fenders. These were trimmed to fit and prepped for paint. First test fit. Loving how it's looking close to factory as possible.

A swaged parcel tray and block off plate were made for the rear as the Motorsport NZ rules state it is to prevent fumes coming into the cabin.

The bash bars got a quick spray of black and were installed back on.

Into the booth again to paint the rear and inside of roof.

My seat was stripped and painted candy red as well
You can't come here and not get some fruity shit done.

Thank you man

EVLS14 · 02-19-2017, 10:30 PM

Home time to bolt stuff back in to make it look presentable

Some rollcage paint pictures

S15 carpet, dash, centre console, seat went back in.

The rear camber was adjusted and got the rear sitting flush. Also dropped it 25mm

Since the rollcage was finally painted the windows could go back in.
I wasn't a fan of universal seals so some genuine Nissan ones were ordered

All done, off to be detailed.

Arrived at OCD.
Was greeted by Nan's RWB Porsche, also there to get ready for the show. Love this car.

The car received a stage 4 treatment

Some before and after pictures.

Show time. We arrived at the ASB show grounds.

Luckily for myself I didn't have to push it in. My mate Luke towed me in with his S14. Setup time. We were allocated our spots and had most of the day to prepare the cars.

All setup ready for show day.

Some awesome cars this year, sorry I couldn't get many pictures my phone died. Here's some I did snap

Towards the end of the day it was prize giving. Some how I won best Nissan, I wasn't even near where they were giving them out so had to quickly rush there haha.

Home time

Some pictures from the show

Back in the garage for now. Time to start planning on what I need to plumb up the car.
