    Been a while since i owned an s chassis have a r33 gtr build going on and used to have a 14 zenki build which is also on this. Found a gem hidden that was sitting a year and a half at the side of a friends house. He was working on for its owner at the time. The colour was similiar to my 14, both sunroof models and both jap. So had to make an offer and a deal was done! These are hard to come by in ireland.

    Friend called by whos a mechanic. Fixed the wing indicator. Found the afm plug was slightly damaged plugged afm out it ran way better. Found a vaccum hose open so stuck a bokt it in for now. Have to get a t piece. Has to wire in the centre brake light next day. Next day i sruck the plates on and lowered the car. Fitted the side skirt spat and fitted the clips and grommets fully to the car. Peeled off the interior tint was so dark you cant see out at all. The outside of the windows are also tinted which is unusual.

    Cars at my own house now. Found rear badges and a window motor waiting for them to arrive. In two minds whether to keep or sell. Hard to find a driver recaro rail. Also after oem rear lights. Ive decided on a colour too if i keep very rare 15 colour.

    Update got the passenger window motor changed window works now but switch is intermittent so have another one on the way. Also the passenger door handle plastic had a crack in it so new one on the way is well. Also have all badges now.Car was picked up and brought to md tuning. To sort running.
    Said ecu and afm are bad id a spare ecu and afm there. Spark plugs could do with changing too. Backfiring. Says an exhaust leak too.Hes sorted a lot its running better. Itll be on the dyno tomorrow i hope for a quick run to see power.
