Don't get me wrong the tl wheels look great on this car, but I think a set of silver kosei k1's would look killer. Also if you could get fitment similar to a 90s touring car, I think you would be on to something!


    No worry, I got the TLs for $140 so I just couldn't pass it up. I have looked for Koseis for a while but they are hard to find in decent fitment and 5x114, most I can find are for BMW. Buddy Clubs are similar and I have thought about those although I would really like a 10j

    Hey now my seats are not that uncomfortable

    I don't expect everyone to like or understand it, its all good

    Pipe busted and mine has 2 pipes instead of the normal one long one.

    This is the only picture on the internet I've found that is the same as what I have, see how they meet at some type of chamber in the rear? The top is hard but the bottom is seemingly impossible



    You would have to pull the whole motor to replace the broken lower pipe on mine.

    I've learned my car is a California car even though it originates from NYC. My best guess at this mystery chamber is that it collects exhaust gas to warm the intake a bit better for the more strict emissions. I can't find any info on it though.

    I will never understand everyone's love for EGR deletes

    Thanks! GT-R wing is on and EGR is blocked, what a pain in the ass that was.

    First time out of the garage in a couple weeks so excuse all of the dirt, going to wash it today and take some decent pics

I would build a heat shield for that intake and possibly extend it a little closer to the headlight, you're now pulling more hot air in that stock and it will make performance worse. Also curious about that MAF, is that the SC400 one or? I've only ever seen the metal housing MAF's and never seen a fly by used. I would be very interested to know because I **** my old 300 MAF and replacing it is a b*tch and a half.

    Stock '95 LS MAF, I think the one you have is what comes on the '94 and under LS which the intake came with an adapter for. I basically just bought it for the pipe because it came out cheaper than buying bends, coupling, and clamps. The smaller pipe that comes out for vacuum and idle control are terrible, I had to seal it.

    It pulls great in under ~75 degree weather, it starts dropping off after that. I plan on getting a 45 degree coupler to move the filter location but i don't really notice any power loss most of the time it just sounds better, so not really a big deal to me at the moment.

    Although I'd like to integrate a cold air feed, i'm thinking of using a J's type duct from the DC2 ITR

    My main goals are battery relocation and I may also make my own FG hood this summer, the stock one is so heavy. I think the car would have much better balance with that weight shifted/removed.

    little update;

    Picked up a cheap ebay SC400 intake and it worked


    Stripped more weight out sold & selling OEM parts





    Added some RCA's & 235/45 595 RS-Rs




    actually just made the UCA ball joint cuts yesterday



    took the dip off the bumper, will probably take it off the rest, but this is as high as the front will go!

    Sooooooooooooo nice to not hear that ball joint smack the frame.





    i think it is getting there, the exterior is still rough but it gives it a little character
