I see some of you are keeping busy - well, so am I. Just installed a Dakota Digital tachometer adapter in my FB, works perfectly - converts the Skyline ECU tach signal to work the FB tach.
I am also accumulating parts for the big brake swap - got some GSL-SE axles from a friend. They were damaged when the bearings and retainer sleeves were cut off by someone who did not know the proper removal procedure. My friend Sean O'Brien welded up the damaged areas, I filed them smooth and then my machinist drilled them for the 5 bolt pattern and pressed in the studs. I recently got some almost new slotted rotors at PickNPull, and today I traded the used front and rear convertible/turbo style calipers for rebuilt ones, so now I have all the parts I need. I also just got one of the 15 inch BBS convertible wheels, so now I have a full set. This swap will be exactly like the one I did on my V8 car, which is shown on my Cardomain page.

I keep thinking of more things to do, like the stainless steel radiator catch can I made from an old teapot, the gas strut that holds my hood up, etc. Still trying to decide where to mount my air/fuel and boost gages - I really don't want to put them on the windshield post.

Mostly got the rear subframe swapped. Went and got some good used 16's for my 2nd set of wheels so I can put up my studs. Decided to start her up before I put the Y and duals back on and lemme tell you, a 3" in 3" out "flowmaster" in pretty loud! So I guess the 2 glasspacks on each side of the dual have a lot to do with how my car sounds.

After letting it sit for 4 months, I installed the rebuilt turbo and gassed it up.

Reinstalled AST bullshit after getting over my horrible cold. Car seems to not be leaking anymore, which is nice. Was pouring out so I didn't get to test out the new AD08s up front. ANOTHER DAY!!!

I know from what Josh posts that he's fairly frugal, all was in jest though. There's very little for FCs that I can't afford if I desire it I saved my A/C bracket in case it can be of use should I decide to dry sump, I just don't see the point ATM although it has crossed my mind. I'd have to eat an engine first though. I'm content with a shimmed/ported TSP oil pump and a IR baffle. PS, I'm driving this weekend, are you?!?

Not a chance lol. This will be my first time driving in over a year, first time with the ls, first time anywhere besides SSS. I went from 100whp - 320whp, so this should be awesome.
