The last few weeks I have been trying to drive the car on a regular basis to build up confidence again and it seems to be running really well. I do seem to hear a strange whistle when the car is on boost and its coming from the drivers side so I think I may have a bad intercooler pipe connection or a split hose so there's still some minor investigation to be made before driving it hard anywhere.
Finally I got the car to sit at a nice height too, I'd love to go lower however it wouldn't at all be practical at all.
I'm really happy with how clean and tidy the engine bay came out, I sanded down the top of the Nissan logo on the cam cover for that extra bit of aesthetic and I fit a small filter to replace the breather pipe which tends to get very hot being so close to the manifold
I really want to keep the car respectable and as least obnoxious as possible, I don't want it to stand out too much and I hope people from the general public will forever be asking me what kind of car this is.
No its not a skyline.
not a skyline haha. you can see how people think the S14 with the sleepy eyes looks a bit like an R33, but the tail lights are wayyyy off. She looks clean! Is it a daily as well?
yay more JDM peoples :)

hehe, you wont believe how many people ask me if its a skyline I think your on the money though, its the front lights and maybe the "S" Silvia Green/Gold badge that confuses people.
I'm indeed trying to keep the car as clean as possible however I wanna use it as intended as well, don't have any intention of having it as a show piece, its not daily driven to work etc, but its the only car I own.
I'm trying to find some more JDM peeps to follow on here but struggling for good & origional content, let me know if you have some recommendations.

Mine is my only car as well, she is daily driven but i am getting less comfortable with that the more i work on it, as i need to leave it at a train station sometimes, leaves me quite nervous!! Mine was kept clean for about 4 years and then i started modding it, am hoping to take it to the local track soon :)
The JDM community is a bit hard to find but i think also as this place is still new its still being established? Off the top of my head for JDM content theres Cope https://steemit.com/@mfxae86 who does cars amongst other stuff, Nelkel https://steemit.com/@nelkeljdm who does prettymuch only JDM, Smokey https://steemit.com/@smokeynagata who is more JDM picures, hmm who else lol, Jason https://steemit.com/@jasonwhite who doesnt seem to be too active anymore.. i think thats about it? sureley theres more, i sit and go through the JDM tag every couple of days to see if anyone else pops up :D [like you did just recently lol]
