Nothing really to report from this weekend, popped my clutch master cylinder so will be fitting a replacement in a couple days. Then that's kinda it, not really sure what to do next... Here's a random couple photos   |

Try enjoying it dude! Car looks brilliant. I've done the same thing for years on most of my projects. Built it to a point where it only needs tinkering on, got bored, sold it, regretted selling it. Bought another project, repeat. Promised myself I'd actually enjoy my skyline this time. |

Looking good, are you still going with the decals on the back end?

I always do it as well, I think I enjoy the build more than the finished article haha an S13 was never my endgame though, I really want an FB/FC RX7 or an R33 of some description. Thanks for the kind words though! Not sure on the graphics now, we did it on my mate’s Civic and I think I prefer it on someone else’s car rather than my own haha |

So S15 clutch master cylinder fitted and all good 
Also discovered that due to the increased boost, the car now suffered a pretty decent boost leak that wasn't apparent at low boost. Fixed that with some boost pipe manipulation and now the Nissan sorta rips! Well, rips enough for me anyways, should be up around 270/280bhp if my old cars are anything to go by.
There wasn't anything interesting enough to document really so here's a spooky night shot...
Missed the sun this weekend too, it's June for god's sake!
One of the lads bought something pretty cool. I think it's technically rubbish but it's red, Italian and sounds good!

Had a nice surprise this weekend, someone has gone and slashed one of my tyres. Fortunately whoever has done it is so incompetent that they've actually not even managed to pierce the rubber! Still, replacement tyre needed now. Sadly for me, a drug "rehabilitation" place was opened in our neighbourhood a number of years ago and the clientele are not exactly pillars of society, this is why normal working folk can't have nice things!  |

Hey man, just had a read through this thread as I'm partial to a bit of JDM goodness. You've done a cracking job of this so far and it's come along nicely! Think the paint job looks decent for what it is. I did an E36 in Montana gold a few years back, good paint. Liking the kit too! Will be following along with this one for sure.

I’ve been driving it a lot this weekend and I’m still toying with the idea of selling it haha I’ll put up more updates as and when but I fear I may be coming to the end with this one. I do really wanna take it to The Weekender though. |

I've wanted one for years but doubt I'd pay what they sell for. Maybe one day someone will swap my Soarer for one.😂 |

I want to change the spoiler I think and maybe do a bonnet vent, potentially change the front wings. We shall see! I love a Soarer though, I’ll check out your thread in the morning 👍🏻 |

Couple small changes on the way. I picked up a couple bargains last night in the form of some Dmax style 50:50 lights which brighten up the rear nicely, gives a more up to date look without the expense of the Kouki lights.    Also got some wide front arches to get rid of the bolt-on JUN style arches. They need a bit of love but as you know, I am now a master fibreglasser haha! |

Good to see you keeping up your interest. If you eventually decide on more power my rb neo will be coming out of my R34 at the end of the year.

Yeah thanks dude, was lacking inspiration somewhat but seemed to have stumbled across some! I’d love to go RB but just can not justify how much everything around them costs lol |

What's on the grill of the g60? Looks like there’s no grill & you can see the oil cooler . |
