Thanks heaps man, I appreciate that! Here's another side project, I picked up a pair of luminous yellow 57C6 and decided to try to restore them and make a full set.

Before:



During (stripped back to bare metal)



And After:


We used the same clear as the original Work Matt Grey Silver (MGS), so the finish is actually pretty similar between the two sets.

Got car tuned after cams installed. Sorry about the video quality it's horrible.

Car gained 41kw / 56nm which is insane, it also moved peak torque back over 1000rpm.

Absolutely stoked with the result, the tuner mentioned that the kazama f1 manifold & internal gate, coupled with the kakimoto muffler are actually choking the turbo a bit but there is no way I'm removing those.

So this will probably be it for this car in terms of power, which I'm totally fine with, saying my car has 450hp has a nice ring to it

The idle on this thing is absolutely crazy now and my son loves it haha.

Hey man, not overly high, just factory limiter I believe...

Few updates to come, the gram lights didn't last long but a very good friend of mine has them now so they'll be around, worst timing but a set of 2020 Titanium Silver TE37 came up and I had to act quick.. they are in brand new condition. I can't wait to see them on the car, going to try to run a 235 all round.



Seriously stoked on these wheels.

Also had the car made for Assetto Corsa which I thought was pretty cool.

which push/pull conversion did you go with? happy to see you don't HAVE to run the single/twin plate clutch setups with the conversion

I'm not too sure man, a local company called nite-parts sells the kit, but yeah I agree!



I got the diff in and man, a 4.3 is awesome in a street car, If I had to do any city - city driving no way, but for around town and for a few blasts down country roads it's so good, would highly recommend!





We simplified the fuel set up as well removing a hole heap of adapters and changing the regulator to a turbosmart one.


Car's going great now, all the little issues ironed out, off to do some drifting next weekend if I can run the diff in in time.
