Well my Christmas holidays came and went with barely a spanner (wrench) turned on the car. A shame as I had plans to get heaps done.

Santa was very nice though. He got me a Nismo shift knob and the Carbon Signal rear diffuser ��

All I managed to install was the CSF radiator. It's a very impressive piece of kit. I was shocked at how thin the factory radiator core is (15mm). I'm a bit nervous that even the CSF at 32mm won't be enough on the hottest days here. My S14 had a 52mm Koyorad and it still got a bit hot on occasion.
Install went smoothly. I used the he Mishimoto YouTube install as a guide.


Just before Christmas a local guy put some Z1 2 piece rotors up for sale at a great price so I snapped them up.
They are 10 pounds lighter per corner which is what sold me on them.

do the lighter rotors give a noticeable change to the driving/steering characteristics?

ABSOLUTELY! I have them on the front my my Z and if you drive a Z that doesnt have them back to back, you instantly notice the steering weight difference. The cost to rebuild them is also one of the best i've seen for two piece rotors.

Sorry for the thread jack, But keep it up man! I'm interested in seeing the videos of it sliding around!
