It's beginning to look very convincing.
I've driven some cars with more parts missing than that :lol:

It is very close to start-able. Just missing some OEM turbo parts before I can add oil, and a bit of wiring to finish.

I couldn't believe how destroyed it was when I removed it.

The Nismo roller bearing should free up a HP or two mated with the light weight flywheel , compared to that old junked bushing and my old hi weight flywheel.

I'm expecting this car to rev a lot freer and at higher RPMs than it did previously.


Roller bearings also require more attention to maintenance, from what I hear...

Just letting you know, cause its in an area that most people don't like to crack open too often.

Of course I research the parts I install in my car. ;)

Many OEM cars use needle bearings from the factory.

How difficult was it to hook in? It looks like you have lots of room to work with in there ~ even more than the L28 gives.

10 out of 10 until I pulled off the manifold and bolted the turbo to the manifold out of the car.

Then it was a 7 out of ten. I'll have to do a lot of touch up paint.

Yea, it's called grease. I prefere the syl-glide for brakes. Hi-temp silcon base, water proof. Well, keep at it, maybe you can drive down soon to get some parts. :D I's like to see it when done, that front end with the lights is interesting.

What, the grease? It's use for brakes, for the caliper slides, back of the pads. I also use it to pack the needle bearings for the pilot bearing.
