[cschepp]

Ok sounds good man, just trying to keep an eye out for ya

It fits 52 - 60mm , it has a feint circle embedded on it you have to expand the holes out to for the 60mm gauges

What size gauges will it fit.. The cracked one that is?

triple gauge pod came from newzealand , it has a bit of a crack on the right side lip so i probably wont use it , it is molded to fit on top of the dash. It needs some minor repairs.

Some more pics to keep the Pron crowd happy

this is the Dmax hood that i bought from charles - im fitting it soon so that i can properly adjust the original latch from underneath while all the front bumper crap is off the car , I figure it'll be alot easier tackled like this.



This is the Greddy suction kit that Daryl at right drive got in for me , cant wait to assemble and install it all



And here is a bunch of other assorted junk that will be installed over the next month of so - at the moment im waiting on a tomei arms turbo kit , a tomei fuel pump , some nismo parts and a set of HKS fuel injectors .



I also have a top secret rear diffuser, rear carbon wing , and a jun carbon lip lurking in my workshop somewhere , ill post pics when i install them

I originally had a mishimoto rad and twinfan shroud to install but the shroud didnt fit (hit the power steering pump) , long story short - shroud back to JRP along with a carbing catch can that i decided not to use and got credit for it all , kept the rad and had them give me a mishimoto 14" single fan , no shroud -



this will mount in roughly the same place as the original mechanical one , but i will be fabbing up my own aluminun shroud for it and ill post pics when its done.

The decision to use electrical fans instead of the mechanical one is because 1) the 15 year old mechanical fan has a bunch of cracks around the middle and 2) less stuff being driven by the pulleys = better engine response. Even the viscous coupled fan assemblies do add a certain amount of load directly reducing response and power .

Back to my nemisis , the HKS oil cooler kit .

When you install this equipment you will find you are required to pass the 2 braided lines through the openings that are behind the lights. Well let me tell you that -14 size braided line does not conform well to bends and you will have one hell of a job getting to go that way , and you certainly wont enjoy making the head light go back in place. I also compounded the problem with the RIPS washer , oil catch can that has a flush fit to the radiator support further reducing clearance.

I spent some time re-running the lines along the bottom of the rad support etc but eventually ended up removing a section of the rad support between the light fixture and the rad. This was dremmelled out and lined with a small piece of rubber cose cut along its length. The purpose of which was to stop the braided lines gradually cutting themselves on the edges of the support and to stop abaision of the paint which would cause the onset of rust , The cut edges were given 3 coats of tremclad black tractor paint to make sure that doesnt happen. it's the small jobs like this that take up the majority of the time in these projects i swear to god!



This is a clearer pic of the rips tank so you can see the close fitment to the rad support -

Got the rest of my exhaust parts back today from fireball coatings , here are a few pics of the tomei headers , dumps and my refinished trust downpipe :-



The quality of the coating was really good , 3 coats inside XMC ceramic and 2 coats of regular ceramic on the outside.

this was the bunghole i welded in the greddy Ypipe for the wideband o2 Although it was supposed to be as close to the cat as possible , i thought it made more sence to position it where the gasses from both downpipes intersect and mix together .



this is the Greddy Y-pipe bead blasted insdie and outside then refinished , looks better than new



a shot of the inside of the pipe



the inside of the dump pipes , all interior inperfections were filled in by the coatings leaving an exceptionally smooth finish.
