Nice work Chris! Is it a Bellmouth? Guessing you didn't break any bolts?

Yeah its a bellmouth. Jacked the car up last night and started spraying the wd40 every half hour. Must have had about 4 or 5 rounds and then a couple more this morning. Only took a ring spanner to break it and then fingers the whole way. I was pleasantly surprised after reading about some peoples nightmares... My struggles was with getting the cat mount to go around the new front pipe as it was a fair bit fatter then the stock system.. Had to get dad involved and he angle grinded part of the bracket out for me so that it fitted around the pipe. Once we had that sorted it was time to put it back together

Nice work you've done also :D

In fact it sounds like a few people have been busy bee's over the past few days..

Richard getting his hands dirty with an oldy but a swifty ;)

Ahh yes i remember grinding the mount.

The bellmouth is ok to fit, the jjr stainless split dump is a real pain because of less clearance and access to the nuts/bolts.

Like those ones on the engine side are a pain.

Anyway, good it went on easy.

John actually modded my JJR Bellmouth for ease of bolting.

(Heated up and hammered in the sides of the Bell a little) and he ended up just Welding the mount to the pipe.

Installed rear vision cover last night. Looks amazing. Also installed new Strut brace, it took a bit of love to get it on but it went on.

PICS???

is it just me or do you have a new photo in your sig everyday ?

thanks a ton man! she`s getting there :)

that chook is awesome haha, it jumps the fence and plays with my little border collie, the puppy is somewhat scared of it haha

Last time I saw a Chook, (only a couple of days ago) it got it's head chopped off with an axe.

True Story.

Both Skylines are COVERED in a really fine Mist of Sap. :(

sounds like sandpaper when you wind the window down.

Today I did not much car wise other than pull off the passenger side mirror on the Wags and superglue the broken bolt mounts as they are all broken. :(

    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
    • Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
