john-d: He was to stupid to realise he could apply for a V5 if I didn't send it off, so I just held onto it until he gave in and signed the relevant paperwork!

watson: No mate, still collecting parts, just need the cams now!

Update

My nuts were looking pretty sorry for themselves so I replaced them with some black nuts, which are always better!





Then on saturday I spent far too long fitted my Greddy/trust oil cooler setup, it appears there is one place and one place only the sandwich plate can sit in order for the hoses to be able to attach to it, but allas after much faffing and blood I found it!!





but it sits nice behind the bumper and the oil didn't get above 90 all the way home despite some extensive boostings, so i'm pretty chuffed!

You will notice a hell of a difference when you swap turbos

Your 14a looks very clean aswell unlike most of them these days.

Saturday

On saturday I addressed the fact I'd worn through the centre box of my Blitz Nur Spec.

Firstly isolated the affected area!



Then cut it out with a slit wheel and lowered the edges closer to the outer diameter of the perforated tube



Welded on some nice thick stainless



And finally cut off the bottom of the flange and welded it up as it doesn't ever need to come apart.



Exhaust now has no leaks and around 20mm more clearance which is a double WIN!

Sunday

Fitted the K Sports



They fill the wheels nicely indeed!



They are completely awesome, can't believe how progressive they are and have seemingly limitless power, roads were a touch frosty so couldn't test them too extensively though!

I must admit it does feel like the brake bias is all at the front however, which conviently brings me on to

Monday

I put my rear Z32 calipers together that I've refurbished and damn they look sexy!



I even machined 'NISSAN' so it would match the front K Sports :ghey:



These should be on in the next few weeks!

No unfortunately, it's a skill I'm still honing but isn't at the stage that I want it holding my car together!

Update

Fitted my Z32 rear setup today

Stripped back, the hub took some getting off on the drivers side but got there in the end using heat and copious amounts of AC90!



Handbrake mech assembled, and R33 GTST handbrake cables installed.



All done!



So now it's got 300mm vented rotors and aluminium 2 pot callipers on the rear

Just need to setup up the handbrake and bleed the callipers.
