I just bought PS 4S 265/35's on nismo wheels. After seeing this I should have gone bigger. :rolleyes: looks great tho!

Michelines wear like iron. They are well worth the money. My Father has sworn by them for years, and now I am hooked after owning two sets.

Got a couple of pieces for my gauges. A Z1 upper radiator hose piece for the water temp sensor, and a MPI piece for the oil pressure sensor. The threaded male end and the opposite end is metric. The 2 side ports are SAE.

SurfDog 06-16-2017 05:49 AM

I bought that oil gauge. Thanks for the recommendation

Rusty 06-16-2017 06:44 AM

Gauges are built and shipped. To be here on the 20th. :excited:

The wiring harness with dimmer dial. And the aluminum plate I'm using to mount the gauges in with the dimmer dial and switches for the diff cooler.

Very nice! Were are you planning to install the plate for them?

The cubby hole. I'm planning on having the plate covered with the same stuff that's on the cubby door if I can.

ramoszx12r 06-21-2017 06:30 PM

Read my thread. :icon23:



:rofl2:
I got them from Nissan Motorsports when Paul StClair was the head of the parts dept. Paid half of the listed price of $612.00 each.

Hotrodz 07-08-2017 09:56 AM

They don't make those ducts anymore and that is why I went with the APR's.

For those who read this build. You guys know my next set of mods is the diff cooler,gauges, and OS Giken diff. I was planning to have everything install by the first Sept. It's on hold for awhile. I torn my bicep muscle off the bone a week ago :eek: Surgery is for 8/10. Recovery is 12 weeks. Longer for full strength. So, I'm thinking this will be a winter project now. I'll keep this up-dated.

Washed the Nismo today with one hand, parked it in the garage, cover it with sheets. Figure it's going to be some time before I get to work on it again. :( Surgery tomorrow. :icon14:

Head is still foggy. Had more damage then originally thought. I had an old tear in the tendon that the surgeon had to cut out. :eek: Never knew I had torn it either.
