Right I got loads of nismo stuff now! Massive list ready? Here we go. Boost and Coolant gauge, horn button with lap timer controls, stickers and number board, horns, gearknob and centre caps for my nismo rs8 wheels.

I would post pictures but can't work out how to do it on my phone and this forum doesn't seem on tapatalk!

Got access to a computer for tonight so I thought I would do a big old update.

refurbed and polished the outer rim for the ssr's myself after every shop I went to refused to touch them due to their rarity. Still need to paint the centre.

Centre caps for my RS8 nismo wheels which are rare as rocking horse poop.

My Nismo horn button and lap timer control which will be able to wire into my built in clock/stop watch in my car. Loads of retro Nissans had them.

Modded my cluster to take any 52mm gauge which my coolant gauge will be going into. Replaces the standard OEM coolant gauge which is crap.
AEM afr just for test fitting.

Also wired in a shift light which lights up a disused warning light on my cluster, also has a warning buzzer built in. Doing this as I tend to get carried away sometimes.

Got some nismo stickers. I am not too sure about the number board though. Might get another one and place it lower down. I do love the nismo stickers above the side repeaters though.

Also got a new sparco Kevlar bucket seat.

Hnnnngggggg Firenza! Looks absolutely lovely, credit to your dad!

I'm in awe at the amount of retro Nismo stuff you're building up! Some serious effort going into this matey, keep it up :D

High performance firenza droop snoot. one of 204 which were tuned to about 140ish bhp. Quick car for its age and still embarrasses a lot of the modern hot hatches. He has had it since new as well!

Yeah I have gone abit Nismo crazy but the habbit has to stop really as its costing me an arm and a leg. I do see it as abit of a investment as some of the stuff goes for silly money over here,

Right then I managed to find a 1.3 nismo rad cap and got it for a bargain price of £15! Well happy.

Also got the nismo coolant gauge fitted.

I said I wasn't going to buy anymore nismo stuff well I lied..

Nismo pedals sourced. Only going to use the throttle pedal as it will help with heal and toe. They are automatic pedals though so it is lucky I only need a throttle pedal.

10877732_921218924557574_486795887_n_zps

Nismo cigarette lighter sourced as well.

Also got a genuine super turbo hood scoop coming so I can make a super turbo bonnet. I will also put one of these vents in the bonnet as well. Abit more cold air to the air filter.

Also made a jap spec boot lid today. Please excuse the tacky kanjo sticker. Will be covered up with my number plate.

Also nearly got all the gauges I need. Just need a racetech oil temp/pressure dual gauge.

Just looked at this love the nismo bits the laptimer/horn is amazing

Yeah its an awesome piece of kit and cost me next to nothing. Shame I cant wire it into my clock on my car though as I will have to fiddle about with circuit boards and that. I might just buy a spots stop watch and wire it into that or just wait for a nismo lap timer to pop up for sale.

I could ofcoure use the buttons for other things.

Love this! I used to own a K10 Colette in 2003 as my first car and fitted it with Super S parts and import back lights. :)

Looking good mate! I import stuff almost monthly from japan haha. I have seen your car around before in the micra club.

I got bored this weekend and started to paint the inside black with hammerite. All my interior is staying except for the rear carpet and rear plastics as it needs ditching so I can run a cage. Also going to be putting the swirl pot and fuel pump in the spare wheel well, I will then make a plate to cover all the stuff on in the well so its a fire shield. Main reason behind doing that is so I cant be moaned for having a "fuel cell" inside the cabin.

I Also converted the bootlid to jap spec.

haha mate I will never give up! I even find the hunt for the parts fun but I wallet hates it! It's all worth it. Need about another £1000 worth of little bits and then the rest is just the engine work. Just trying to think how I can convert my clutch to a fluid one as I got a cable clutch

I know mate that's what I always got to remember!! I lost a bid on a nismo boost gauge. I bidded £110 and made me realise that I need I stop with all this jdm parts crap and get the car done!

I bought a BG snap off boss as well and the quality of them is amazing compared to the cheap eBay ones
