We will have to get together for a photo shoot and a run. Its great to see the mk1 2 doors around. Even the 4 doors are getting hard to find. I have seen at least another 3 2 doors in Newcastle racing by. There is another 2 door running a mondeo engine built for race days and registered a few streets from me. Mk 1's always stand out in the crowd of Doof Doofs. quote:

g'day Brizey Yep its the catch can on the front as i had no other place to put it. Had to make it myself. It no longer has the filter on it and is now plumbed back into the blow off valve return line directly into the turbo inlet. Keeps the EPA, cops and my Engineer happy. Has no noticible effect on performance. The other item on the heater bowl is the charcoal canister for fuel vapours. Its the original S13 180SX Nissan one. Seemed to fit there perfectly with some large cable ties. Again it keeps the EPA, Engineer and cops happy. Makes for a tight engine bay. Im currently working on a alloy airbox to also keep them happy on the noise emmission front. They reckon it effects noise and emmissions if you run pod filters. The new box will look awesome anyway as i will make it a cold air induction ram type. quote:

Mock up of new airbox to be made in alloy minus the top cover and cold air induction   Will have stainless hold down clips. Should get a nice dose of cold air from in front of the bonnet at speed.

Nice, Very Nice.
I am not a fan of mk1's without bumpers. You going to leave as is or put bumpettes or full bar on front?

Yeah ive been tossing the idea around for a while now. I have two pairs of bumperettes, 1 pair chrome, 1 pair black and all the connecting parts. They both need a little repair work but it shouldnt be a problem. But to get them rechromed up in newcastle costs a bloody fortune. I checked about a year ago and they quoted 300 + for repair and rechrome. quote:

match a back bumper and paint all the bumpers in a quality high gloss silver, with lots of clear. that way they,ll tie in with the stripes.
