I thought I was going to leave this thing stock, use it as a DD since I already have a project car, but we all know how that works out.
Bone stock '03 SC with 53k miles,
First thing done, same thing I do to every car and that is hack the airbox (nissans are very receptive to this), also plugged the resonator while I was in there. I check the filter all the time, have never even seen mud on it, knock the dust off of it every once in awhile, but it doesn't get half as dirty as I expected, but still beware of deep water or mud.
Gotta relocate the IAT sensor when you do this, some wire, heat shrink and a new hole, good to go.
Some tow hooks for the rear, same 3 hole hooks as up front, bolted right up.
Friend got me a Xoskel light cage for christmas, so that meant some lights, KC daylighters, 2 100w fog, 2 130w driving.
Used a Bussmann fuse/relay box for the wiring, this thing is awesome and weathertight
Rockhumper Fabworx sliders, got these made and installed by Richard himself, right before he want on a fab Hiatus.
Found some SLR staged UCA's, finished up with AC 3 pack AAL, Bilstein HD's and 5100's. Obviously not going to work with the AC lift shackles, so they had to come off for stockers.
Back to a normal stance, now with 285/70/17 Goodyear Wrangler MT/R's (kevlar), took some trimming up front, little bit of metal included, but no body lift.
I think somethings wrong here.
AC Long tube headers (Stainless Steel and Tig welded) I also installed walker '00 Fed downpipes (no secondary cats) and already had a Nismo Catback installed.
DEI Titanium wrap (really just pulverized lava rock, none of the itchiness of fiberglass wrap)
If your supercharged, or blocking off your EGR, get one of these from nissan part number 14052-21R00 (OEM EGR PLUG)
Then I bought a winch, and only had a vague idea what I was going to do with it. Superwinch EPi 9.0 (integrated sealed solenoids in the bridge)
Then I came up with a mounting setup, the original...bolt on stealth setup.
Fully gusseted and TIG welded by a guy that builds chromoly tube frame drag cars
Thats it for now, just been wheeling it and driving the piss out of it. Bought in 9/09 with 53k miles, now 11/11 and 92k miles. Has never left me stranded, and the only things that have broke have been has been torn motor mounts and cracked manifolds. I am getting ready to do some test fitting for a oem nissan big brake setup, going to try VG35 pathfinder rotors (300x30mm) with Skyline gts-t calipers (what I have on my 240, 4 piston aluminum with a 296x32mm rotors)
Lots of other little stuff I never bothered to take pics of, like the SLR diff drop, Grassroots centerlink with bandit 4x4 idler arm bushings, extended brake lines. Other than that I need some skidplates and 4.90s (or 5.14's) and a locker and I will be happy.
