Default Some Updates!

Well, I was BZ over the weekend. I got my new/used bumper installed. Cut some of the lower core support back, re-welded the pinch welds all so the bumper would sit 2 inches back so I didnt have to cut up the bumper cover. I even installed some new fog lights and the ends of the bumper cover support. Well after we cut out the center section. Also installed my Aristo Power steering res finally. No more junk as S13 substitute. Here are some pics...

Nice Swap, and thanks for the info. Did you use a catch can with the stock twins? Also, did you go with an aftermarket bov? Thanks

Sorry for the late reply, Im not here as much anymore since I sold the GS. But I like to drop in every now and then. I used the stock BOV and no catch can.

Just let the gray plug hang. You will not be using it.

I have a question about you using aristo's fuel pump bracket. Did you have a chance to open it and take a look how that extra hose inside the assembly connected to the fuel return nipple on top of the bracket? Does it connected directly, or maybe there is something else between it? If, in case you have the pictures, that would help a lot. Thanks a lot.

Sorry fellas, I sold the GS and am not on here too often. Still looking for a mint GS to ****** up and do a swap in in the near future. The guy who bought it from me totally re-painted the car with the original cinnabar pearl, black interior and a set of sick *** VIP rims. Ill try to get a pic from him and post it on here.

Autobahn88 turbo elbow for a JDM MK4 supra, " had to cut and weld it some", and an ebay exhaust. Read through the whole thread. If you are swapping then it will help you some.
Im not on here at all anymore as I sold my GS in Oct of 2012. The only reason I replyed to this was because i got an email. Good Luck with your swap.
