Is it a bolt on affair? Does it have a gauge attached to it? Lastly how much?

They have two types, a type A and a type B. Mine is the type B style and you would need a fuel rail adapter to remove the factory unit. There is no gauge attachment on the Nismo units. They are upwards of $250 new. Mine is new and unused, however, I no long have the box or instructions. I'd let it go for $150 but cash is king.

Finally swapped out the 215`s up front for some 235/35/19 Michelin Pilot Sports.
Also fixed 2 boost leaks. One major one and one minor one. Installed 4 new plugs NGK BKR7es.
Put in a thermostat as there wasnt one.
Hoping to see a little better gas milage.

Thinking about getting one of those Nismo power braces as my next handling mod.

I decided to drop in a red top. Went ahead and got rid of the factory turbo intake hose while I was at it.





I also gave fixing the one wheel that was scuffed up a try. Its not a perfect match to the others but close enough for now and looks better than it did thats for sure.

I only had a few hours of work to get done yesterday so we spent some time on the car. That one wheel was really bringing down the car so we decided to try and fix it ourselves before taking it to be paint matched. While we were at it made a few other little changes to the look of the car.

What about the cards? They are there to keep paint from getting on the tire.

I know its to keep the tire from being painted, however, I thinkthey are refering to how the cards are arranged in numerical order...

I didn't realize that there was a tire on the rim. I thought that the cards were on the ground. I thought someone got bored and started laying cards around the rim...for no apparent reason.
