New Dump & Front pipe

This is what i collected up in brissy yesterday. Not much money gets spent on my silvia (except in engine rebuilds) so I decided to splash out and get a new Dump+Front pipe. I managed to find one for sale that came as one peice in stainless 3".

Not much of an upgrade i know, but considering the car came with a standard dump and only a cat back exhaust i felt it deserved it. Particularly if i up the boost a bit more and/or buy a new turbo down the track.

I have to say also its so refreshing to buy parts for a car that just bolt up, no cutting or welding to do lol.. Thanks Corolla

Here's an idea of the difference in size; the car pretty much isn't any louder but it actually feels alot smoother in the lower rev range.

This is probably the only turbo silvia in Australia that was still running standard exhaust between the turbo and Cat lol...

Jayrad's 'Supermade' S14

Today Jayrad got his new Supermade front bar and S14 wing from JDM garage, so we got some new photos for him to score women and internet credit from.

Still about a 3-4 week eta on his white 18x10 Work XD9's. Once they arrive its pretty much going to be the most awesome S14 around.
 

 

JDM Garage

Today i went for a ride up with Jayrad to see Erin, Buckna and the boys at JDM garage in Brisbane. Jayrad had his pockets full of cash to purchase some bits he wanted for his S14, and i came for the ride to collect a part for my s13 that was in brissy. But more on that later.

These guys have got just about anything you could want for a Nissan, i was lucky to not have much cash on me but i was secretly compiling a list of parts that my s13 now needs.

The thought occured to buy these beauties i think at 17x9 +25. When i actually have money to be spent on wheels i will be aiming for something closer to a 17x9 +18.

Maybe i could buy a set of these Work Meisters..

I was very tempted for one of these stunning painted rocker covers for my red top, but i should hopefully be getting my old one back soon with a fresh lick of paint the same color as Jason's hachi.

And who doesn't love stickers from the land of J. Considering i had enough in my wallet for at least a couple of these i had to be very careful. Basically if you come with a full wallet to JDM garage be prepared to come back with a whole lot of awesome.

It was great to see Erin's Sil80 up close today, i was actually reading through the build up last night so it was a treat to see it in person.

Lots of stickers too, i swear my corolla is too clean cut some times.

And the reason i came for a ride up with Jayrad, but i will have a whole post on that shortly.

Hot Road 180sx

My good mate Jason's dream came true today for his 180sx with the arrival of his new Hot Road Kit.
If you haven't seen the hot road kit, maybe you have seen it on one of the C's Garage cars:

Already being such an awesome car, i felt it deserved some pics to show off

High Performance Import

Well i might as well say it, today my car was getting shot for HPI (High Performance Imports - Or rather now known only as Performance Imports).
http://www.hpi.com.au/

Its something that has always been my dream to have a car worthy of being in a printed publication. I always love reading online magazines, but there's just something magic about having something physically printed on paper.

Im very very excited and can't wait to see it in the magazine!

The photographer, Chris Fatseas (http://www.chrisfatseas.com/) who i met today took some amazing photos. Although my shots arent anything like what he took, i got some behind the scenes photos.

Check out the all my shots from today here:
