I know its been a longggggggggggg time since an update but me and MTX450 decided to stop the project to help a friend with his build so its been down for over 3 months now. You can see his thread (killer s14 kouki build) here

Last night we began the re-start of my project. We are still on wiring so pics would be pretty lame. I might take some progress pics this weekend though.

Yeah Alex's car turned out amazing. i wish I had some wiring skills because I would start that ordeal on Thursday but I am a moron when it comes to anything electrical. Keep us posted, I am sure I will see you at one of the CB meets or at a local shop. GL with build and Godspeed.

So heres the progress for this weekend. We bought a mounting board for the fuse box and mounted the electronics, I decided to mount it in the glove compartment for stealthiness. Its a bit bare, but it does the job just fine. Remaining stock relays + my new headlight relays will be mounted on the back since they wont need any maintenance.

Tested a headlight and looks like it works. Only issue we are currently having is when u turn the car to ACC power the dash cluster does not light up. Need to go back and check on this, hopefully we didnt depin/toss a neccessary relay :O

This is so awesome! You need to update this with some more shit.

Read the whole thread. Car is sick and paint is beautiful. Can't wait for you to start updating again!

UPDATE: 5/3/2012

I know its been forever since I updated, but a lot of shits happened and the car finally fucking runs. Alternator was rebuilt and then almost went on fire, a bolt snapped off on my z32 calipers. Wiring is a pain in the ass. But whatever the thing fucking moves now.Thanks to Dane (MTX450), Alex and Pat for all the support for the last 3 years. And thanks to my job for slowly paying for the build.

Finally bought a Xenon rear bumper, which is going to be painted this week and hopefully installed. Interior still needs work. Last weekend and this week was basically spent driving around with Dane street tuning the Haltech. Sometime in the next few months I will bring it to the dyno and post the results of our hard work.
