G'day guys, I am putting a more detailed list of the little bits and pieces together at the moment and I though id see if any of you guys have any of the parts I need so I don't have to buy it all new! �Bosch 044 fuel pump �3" exhaust �3" dump to suit highmount �highmount manifold to suit external gate �FMIC (decent size, no dodgy eBay crap) �battery box �28 spline LSD diff (locked/spooled ok) �catch can (something neat, polished preferred) �oil cooler �gearbox cooler �Vl turbo brakes �highstall 2500 or so (may consider complete built box) �decent fuel reg �boost controller �chrome/black bonnet gauge cups There is more sh!t but can't think of it now, If u have any of these parts send me a PM or send us a text. Cheers Josh-[phone removed]

have a really simple (not polished, no filter but could be welded on on) catch can thats just taking up space, yours for $20. has inlet and outlet, is about 500mL volume, could easily be hidden in a number of places... if you are desperate im ok to loan it to you too.

there is a bloke on ebay that sells them. an alternative is to go nissan 4 pot calipers, they are a bit more work but after going for a drive in a vlt with them they defenetly seem worth it!

i havent done my suspension yet, so i cant comment on how that would feel, but it is a completely different feeling with new brakes on. sure vlt brakes stopped the car... eventually, and you could easily drive with them on, but it is completely incomparable to big brakes up front. my r33's arent even the biggest you can go, but the extra confidence is a good thing to have.
