Thanks mate

Looking good!
I think the grill needs to be body coloured, not silver. But that's just me.
Love the pic with the front mount cooler.

looks the goods man...
upgrade your brakes to turbo callipers and slotted rotors on front. or do the VT brake upgrade. more power means better braking power.
Disk rear conversion too

To answer the question up the top a standard nissan headgasket can handle 15psi.. even more...

its all in the tune. im running 10psi on highcomp setup, external gated, turbo inj and ecu, 3" zorst and 15 degrees timing with 98 fuel. this donk has got 330XXX kms on her and she loves it hahah will eventually break standard autos though if your running this.

I got this sitting there ready to throw in. But because its a sedan diff, is it as easy as transferring all the stuff from that over to my wagon diff.

I bought a cometic head gasket today aswell. So theres no worrying when its boosted

My boss seems to think im going to get defected once the wagon is boosted. The way i see it, its a low mount turbo and ill be keeping the airbox to have that stock looks to make coppers happy. My boss reckons that ill get defected straight away coz of the front mount. This true??

Any questions, I would talk to an engineer, maybe consider getting a certificate for your mods. As far as I know though, there are low mount kits for various cars.

My setup is fully engineered, the only thing I can get pinged for, is my pod filter (It's bracketed down, which gets me off the hook, but cops can prob still defect me for not having it boxed in if they want).

I've never been defected over mine, I've never had my engine checked over by cops even after they've pulled me over while boosting, they've even heard my turbo flutter. My cooler sits about 5 or so inches below my bumper give or take, and sprayed black like my bumper, you can't really tell it's there at a glance.

Saying that, though, I'm not sure on the current laws since I always go off the theory "If it came out with a turbo, you're allowed to turbo your car of the same model", like an NA Silvia or VL, since they released turbo models of the same car, you can turbo it, get what I mean? I'm not sure if the wagons came out turbo, but you should be fine if you get a mod plate.

Mine was like, $180 or something. I keep the paper work in my glove box just in case the cops check my car & don't believe my plate, or if they want to get annoying about it.
