    Cheers. Thats strange, I always thought they where, read about a few people that have had the standard RB20/25 turbo rebuilt with steel internals.

    no if u have a look you cant take apart the whole turbo u can just reuse the exhuast housing and bore it out to fit a garrett core with a larger steel wheel

    Right, I see what you mean.

    So, I have a spare GTST boot lid and an S14 kouki rear wing, what the outcome will look like, I don't know, but its not looking too bad at the moment.

    Right then, S14 kouki rear wing is fitted to my spare boot lid. It's not painted yet, obviously. I'm having trouble finding somewhere that'll mix me up some paint.

    Bootlid and spoiler are painted now and on the car, don't really know if I like it or not, looks alright.

    I've also got some 444cc GTR injectors, just got to get the resistor pack before I can fit them.

    Not usually a fan of spoilers, and I love this car without, but that does look good... I can see why you're having a hard job deciding lol.

    Either way, really nice car man and keep up the good work!

    Haha, maybe I'll swap every couple of weeks or something, if I can't decide.

    Thanks for the comments!

    Hi Tedex, any chance you could post up some shots of your car from different angles with the Kouki Silvia spoiler please ? I was talking to my mate about this earlier this week, I think it looks good, my mate needs convincing.

    Sorry these are a bit late Silverfox1, had to wait for good weather! Hopefully these are alright.

    Hm, usually I like my R32's spoilerless or a silly BGW. But this is actually very nice and subtle.

    Tedex, thanks very much - your a gent :thumbs:
    I like it, its quite similar to the GTR spolier but 'sharper' if you know what I mean.

    I know what you mean Thomas, I was sort of going out of the ordinary and didn't know what it was going to turn out like, but it's turned out alright.

    Not a problem silverfox1, I do understand what you mean, that's mainly the reason I went for the kouki wing, it looks similar to the GTR wing, but different at the same time.

    Dunno why I haven't seen this yet. Great work man, car looks sick and the wing is perfect.

    Will keep an eye on this thread! :D
