Good luck man!
Hiccups are that there are a few differences on the nismo bumper than on the fang bumper and there isnt much info that is helpful. That and I am probably being overly cautious. Any how, we got the berk cats, stillen g3 and short shift done yesterday.

Here are some picks and I owe a lot of thanks (and some cash) to my brother in law who happens to have a lift which made doing these mods possible.


A few pics-

You can see the diffuser which I didnt have to do anything to, but is now a little out of alignment to make the g3 fit.



And a few pics of my baby on the lift.
The lift saved us HOURS and was MUCH safer than how I started on my own.




Overall nismo fans, I would highly recomend these mods. The car sounds incredible, feels noticibly torquier (and Im not past break-in so Im not pushing past 4k rpms YET) and their are no CELS so far but only 200 miles on it so far. The short shift kit is awesome but a pita to file away for reverse and get just right. lots of filing for 15 seconds, put back together, test, take apart, repeat.

It was a great day and very rewarding but a lot of hard work, laughs, and cursing.

I love it.
