Just some more pictures. Windows are in. The guy did a horrible job with the trim and Jason came over and fixed it. The window guy also set the rear window to low so now he has to come back to cut it out and reinstall it. I received my nismo power brace, spl tension rods, and picked up a Nismo 2 way. I will be posting a new thread here soon to review my opinions about the bings.ca rear valance reps and the supermade rear wing. Heres more pics from lately. As of right now I've been working on the wing and its needed a lot of work. The top and rear were by no means flat so we've been skim coating and sanding it. Not very happy about the wing requiring so much work considering how much it was.

So my poncams came yesterday. Those are half installed at the moment. They are the tomei poncams type b. Also been working on making a new exhaust. Picked up some 3-1/2 inch cause 3" just wasn't big enough. I have a titanium muffler that will be on the end. Also making new downpipes cause they suck. They were made by the guy who originally had this swap and everything he's done is just horrible hack work. Then it will be back on the dump for a retune since I made changes.

It's a shiney obnoxious attention grabbing car that I don't drive daily. So I'm putting a big loud exhaust with cams to produce that badass skyline sound.

It has absolutely no function but a obnoxious noise. It only makes 450whp with the hks turbos I have on there's 3inch is completely fine. And it's 3.5 inch. I'd run the hks 4 inch ti exhaust if someone hadn't damaged it.

Uhhhh.... If using sarcasm/basic internet forum response makes me a cool fan boy then ya. I have a stock KA with a header, cat, and 3 inch exhaust and I notice like a 50whp difference (note the sarcasm). I put the stuff on my car because I got it for free and it sounds cool, this guy decided to put a 3.5 inch pipe on his car because he felt like being different.

Besides.. a 3.5 exhaust on his car isn't even that overkill. People run dual 3" setups on 5 liter mustangs that only make 400 hp without turbos. He's runing a single 3.5" pipe on a motor with half the displacement and more power...

Like I said I'm running the 3.5 for absolutely no purpose but sound. I know it serves no function. My entire car serves no purpose but to show
off and have fun driving it lol. Thanks for all the props peeps.

Cams are installed and ran the car for a few minutes. Since I pulled the cam angle sensor, new cams, and new exhaust all the tuning doesn't mean poop. So it'll be back on the dyno soon for a touch up.

I've already admitted that my big exhaust is pointless in terms of performance gains.

And to be honest from what I've seen with dyno results a 3" inch exhaust isn't restrictive for 700bhp. The 4 inch hks exhaust that I had available to me is rated for 1000hp

They are already hks gt-ss's. A very great responding set of turbos. 440 wheel is way more hp then I'll ever need. Anything over 350 in an s13 is pointless.

This is the all titanium muffler that I got from japan. I cut the bigger tip off of another fucked up ti muffler I had and had it welded to this one cause it's bigger. Gonna try and finish the exhaust pipe tonight.

So I've got the exhaust mostly made. I still need to make the hangers. I love the sound that car produces now with the cams and the new exhaust. I need to finish painting the rest of the parts and remake the downpipes so I can drive it over to U.P.Garage for some more tuning. I'm pretty happy with the exhaust considering I only own/used a sawzall and a grinder. I'm gonna grind the welds and have the whole thing powdercoated Ken's powdercoating 1800 degree satin black.
