- Greddy piping for s15 specR turbo to s13 SR20DET installed.
- new clutch kit, resurfaced flywheel. re attach the tranny.
- dropped motor back in.
- hookin all the wiring back up.
- removed diff, put in new diff with nismo 2way in it, also 5 bolt axels.
- ecu is now tuned for all mods/upgrades.
- z32 maf all wired up.
- Sard 550 injectors all wired up.
- FMIC installed.
- Koyo rad with Circuit sports rad hoses installed.

- tighten odds and ends of things. (FMIC piping mainly)
- put driveshaft back together and bolt it all up.
- vacuum hoses.
- fluids.
- prime motor. see what happens. probably run into some cam angle sensor issues.. so there will be some trouble shooting to do there.

Vital parts to this car.

i miss driving a low car. been driving my work truck for so long i almost forgot what its like being inches off the ground. so today i washed my car and sat in it briefly. t'was lovely. no pics tho sorry. camera isn't around.

found a motor! and got a good price for some goodies with it. s13 blacktop SR20DET (longblock with intake mani), nismo 2way, and a couple of 5 bolt axles. they'll be shipped over real soon.
