Thanks Will. Nothing happened mate... the car has actually been there the whole time but you probably didn't notice it under the cover :( It's taken a while as we've changed a LOT of things and it's taken quite a while waiting for bits to arrive, be modified and polished/coated etc.

Up until now I've only ever had the stock unmodified (apart from ceramic coated) plenum. See 'before' picture below.

Thanks r31turbo. We decided on a top mount manifold based on appearance more than anything else. But the top mount location does make things easier to fit. The turbo was initially fitted to the stock manifold for testing purposes, although it 'may' have had a spacer for clearance, I'm not 100% sure.

Cheers Munkeyb0y. Yeah the plenum is reasonably wide.

Hey Andrew. Thanks dude. There's a little bit still to come in the engine bay appearance department but it's getting closer.

You missed Will's poker game a few weeks back mate. Burgers was in fine form... 1st x 2. I came 2nd and then 3rd to end up $10 in front.

Thanks mr_rbman. I've seen your beast in at BW a few times too.

yeah Matt - unfortunately I was skiing in New Zealand, so couldn't make the poker night! :)

We had a small improptu one last night with just Chops, Burgers, Ham and myself - I came 2nd, and only missed out on 1st due to a VERY unlucky draw! Looking forward to playing again with your crowd if you have any spots free in the future! (Sorry I won last itme - might have put them off). Apparently you played quite well at Chop's place the other week! Burgers is just full of shit .... but he was out 2nd last night :):(:) - I took him out too!

Thanks Guy. Me too!

Cheers Sambo. To be totally honest mate as long as the new plenum doesn't show a loss of power (as many do) then the improvement in appearance and maintenance access will make me happy enough.

I 100% promise you a ride Max >_< I have to get a look at your 34 too though! Actually the missus was suggesting a non-turbo 34 four door as a good upgrade for her last night! She was keen to know what the fuel consumption is like... how thirsty is your beast mate?

Ahh that's right I forgot about your skiing trip Andrew. Skiing in NZ or a poker night... I know which I'd prefer.

Nice work on the 2nd and knocking Burgers out last night. Ahhh no need for apologies mate... gotta' play 'em as best you can! Yeah I had a reasonable game the other night, made one stupid error, but it was late and I was tired. Our usual crowd played a game today actually - I had a shocker! I didn't get a single decent hand pre or post flop! Still held on long enough to see 3 others go out before me :)

We'll have to organise a few more games between our two usual crowds mate. I'll keep you guys in the loop and you guys do likewise.

Thanks Busky. I haven't really got any hard 'n' fast aims at the moment. I'd certainly like to see enough power to run mid/low 11's. I'd love to sneak in a 10.9X but in reality the 5sp - which I intend to keep - just about rules it out. I'm definately going to fit 275/40/17 MT Street Radials ready for when the strip opens again. I'll also continue with the appearance mod's so it's up to standard for AS next year.
