It wasn't difficult. There's a small edge you basically hammer flat on the bumper retainer. That alone gives you the clearance you need over the intercooler. I'm sure it also depends on what brand intercooler you run.
Keeping all OEM brackets. I have nothing against "bash bars" and all that, but they're just not for me.
Not much has happened as far as progress goes unfortunately. I've been prioritizing on spending time with my family, shows/concerts, and clearing out a good chunk of parts I've managed to hoard over the years.
Bulletproof came through for me again and finished my Safety 21 cage, rear subframe, crossmember, Nismo brace, and Tanabe swaybars. I was a bit hesitant at first with the red and gold combo, but I'm glad I did. Several other suspension pieces will also be in the same gold as well as the brake calipers and other smaller bits.
The flake is hard to capture in the gold, but it looks amazing in person.
Huge thanks to Bulletproof for taking care of me and Jason @godrifttoday for welding up the GKTech plates on the subframe.
I did finally say goodbye to an old friend. The Drift Speed S15 is off to Ohio to its new owner who plans on restoring it to its former glory.
...but I did replace it with something better.
R34 GTT with OEM GTR conversion.
The OEM rear quarter panels will be arriving soon and I am currently sourcing the last remainder OEM R34 GTR exterior bits before this will be sent out for a complete exterior and engine bay respray.
No plans to do a complete GTR drivetrain conversion as that would be a bit excessive for what I have in mind. Figured I can keep it RWD and have fun with it before eventually buying a proper R34 GTR.
