It's been awhile since I have posted anything... I've been sick and trying to catch up on some stuff in the shop. I got rid of the Precision SC61 and manifold... I was a little worried that I wasn't going to make the numbers that I wanted with it. So, I opted for a T70/P-trim and also bought a direct port setup to help get it going. There will probably be some surge issues.. but hopefully the nitrous will help fend that off.. I had to redo some intercooler piping and I ended up building a new manifold. I also put my JWT clutch and flywheel in.. and built a guage/switch mount.. I did the twin 255lph Walbro pumps in the tank.. it was pretty easy.. I used the feed and return ports for feeds now.. and drilled/tapped a hole in the top of the cover for a return line. I drilled holes for the wires to come up, and use silicone and gromets to seal it. Other than that... I haven't realy had time to do much else on it though...

650whp or so on the spray... If you haven't seen my other posts from before.. I've got a fully built SR, TEC II standalone, and a whole bunch of other goodies.

how did you build that panel? is it entirely new or did you fill in the holes in the stock panel? it looks good but it looks like you could/should fit two more gauges in there. i think my head would fit in that turbo.

have you done any body mods do go along with the power? what kind of wheels/tires are you running?

Used a stock panel.. and wrapped it tight in cloth on the frontside. Then, put 3 thin coats of fiberglass resin on the top of it. Flipped it over, and put about 1/4" of resin on the backside, to have some thickness/harness. Then, trimmed the excess cloth off of the edges. Bondo, sand, bondo, sand.. and sand more. After about 6 hours, it was ready to be primered/painted. It came out pretty nice.

I have KYB AGX shocks/struts and Eibach Pro Kit springs. Urethane bushings everywhere.. and the diff mount collars in the rear. I am using a stock Silvia R200 LSD for now with cryotreated axles. I'm sure I'll break something in the drivetrain in a short amount of time. When I do, I'm getting driveshaftshop.com to make some replacement units and when the tranny goes, I'll probably do a Z32 turbo tranny or a T56. I'm running some Bogart drag wheels with 26"x10" slicks and skinnies on the front.

So your gonna run a manual transmission? I'm surprised your not going to use an auto with a stall converter or something or even a sequential tranny.
