Instead of messing with the firewall grommit we decided to use a marine cable clam and punch our own hole through the FW.







Calling Stepup bit







Hole Drilled







Cable Clam Installed







Inside view







Completed clam







GReddy Boost Gauge module location (monitoring Boost/Oil Temp&Press/Water Temp - and soon to be Fuel Pressure when the sender comes in)







Not the clearest picture but here's the 12V switched and 12V constant tie in supporting all gauges







Boost Controller







Used the AL bracket to support the boost controller solenoid valve. Really stout.







Vaccum Lines







Completed wiring passenger side







Strut bar replacement. Really don't understand why the G doesn't come with one from the factory. Of course now that I'm boosted, I don't know why Nissan didn't just give us this car boosted in the first place.







My Ghetto zip tie solution until Mr. Gale sends me serial number 001 for a G of his bad@ss pillars







Me relieved that she started up on the first crank!







And done...What clean a engine bay.

The blue filters look sick!

Mexico. Chuck and I take the ladies down at least once a year for a week bender

This is a great build. I was noticing all of the funny t-shirts as well. Should you have a clamp on the lower coolant hose?

Dammit!!

I was literally just there on Saturday - we took a weekend cruise to Cozumel. I'm pretty sure it was a bender, but I don't really remember

We stay on the mainland in Playa del Carmen but take the ferry across one day to dive

Just a quick follow up now that I've had a little more time behind the wheel. Boost threshold is between 2700-2900 rpms, full boost by 3300ish

That's not bad at all

Awesome build and thanks for pioneering it for us G's.

Thanks. Somebody had to be the first to try and see if it would fit. It does with a few things relocated and some minor trimming on the back side of the bumper.

The boost threshold should improve once I get a custom tune.

Long story short, this platform loves boost!

Update...my tuner had a slot open up for Friday. Guess I'll be going full out sooner than I thought
