one mans trash another mans treasure.

going through the pile of JDM parts that fall off the clips, get cut but still useable, or just get slept on, man i found some cool stuff.

 

-Focuz Intake 3" with Tbolt clamps, HKS honeycomb air filter, and a 2.5-3" silicone coupler! ( this JDM guys seem to use these things on everything, and tighten them to like 25lbs!)

 

-Earthing ground booster kit, its a wiring harness that consists of grounds only, its a bunch of 8 guage wire that snakes around everywhere, has these weird provisions to bolt to the block or to the frame in at least five places ( it looks like the clamps that hold the heater hose near the block on a L6) , and has junctions to lug in new grounds, then goes to a 4 guage with a funny lug like a battery cable, but with a smaller hole ,so that you can secure to the block/frame with a 10-12mm bolt.

TURBO magazine has a writeup on this i think, this thing is fresh.

 

-a nice handful of GREDDY 2.5" silicone couplers with TBolt clamps!

 

been checking out the silvia motors closer now, my buddy and i carried one across a large warehouse without even straining! that thing is light.

man a really nice setup just left the warehouse too,

it had a big ass Greddy turbo, some crazy looking throttle body, a turbo header, a crazy clutch with this anodized blue pressure plate on it that looks like a burst container or something, AN lines with earls braided hoses on it from the oil filter adapter,

this is nuts man--------the JDM motors i have seen with AN fittings wrap their braided hoses in wire loom! and they put these wristband looking things on the master cylinder resevoirs. my buddy picked up a scented shifter that is see through and has a fake flower in it!

 

theres this big stack of aftermarket exhausts over there too, one of them had a freakin 4" mandrel exhaust to a 4" in and like 7-8 inch out muffler!

 

cant wait to plumb that funny ground strap thing-im actually gonna add some grounds to it, man my efi is gonna LOVE me!

yep, thats it. ill keep my eyes open for a bov, i think the silvia uses a recirculating valve. a lot of the intake piping gets sold first i think with the intercooler, i think he parts out the clips for the quick money stuff first, and only sells them as a complete unit with motor if its completely souped up. ill keep my eyes open. i wish that the silvias wore watanabes, id have a set, they usually have some rims on em im not into, but the silvias still carry the og 4x4.5 lug pattern-so maybe ill get lucky and get me some rimzos, i can still get wats, what size were you looking for? they do cost ALOT i have to say first off. 15x6.5 goes for around 700.00, and im sure you want bigger, just warning you.

 

ron-make me a list and i see what i can do.
