I've had lots of jap machines before and I missed the noise of whooshing turbos.
So I added the old jap tuners choice
had one of these on my last 200sx
the engine bay is letting the car down at present
I whipped the grille off and gave it some plastidip treatment
When motormech last serviced the car it was noted the manifold was cracked.
I wanted to trial fit the replica zender bumper I had and check out how bad the rust was behind the bumper.
It wasn't great and had to cut off just about all the fixings.
The bottom half of the bumper support brackets had gone where the oil cooler sits.
I also wanted to bin off the aircon too and fit all the aircon delete parts.
The bumper needs a lot of fettling to fit properly.
I found a broken manifold stud and two others loose.
But the manifold was cracked the whole way round the primary on number five.
I do have a stainless manifold which is currently away having its flange refaced. You can see why here.
so until that comes back at the weekend its off the road for now.
I do have lots of bits to bolt on soon
The fun will be fairly short lived as the car will be coming off the road at the end of July when the mot expires.
Then the proper restoration will begin.
