HKS V-Mount is installed. It is a thing of beauty. My only complaint is that the intercooler and radiator should be sealed off more for airflow. the splitter is adjustable and guides the air between the two perfectly, but it needs either some more ducting or a plentiful amount of aluminum tape to seal it up to my standards.
The Delrin bushing installation is also complete. Just waiting to receive my steering rack from Maval and I can put the wheels back on. Exhaust fabrication is next.

Project Update...
Figured I would post a short build update...
Kirk Race Roll Bar arrived yesterday. Test fit it in the car and everything is awesome, just needs to be truly installed.
The interior is now fully stripped other than the dash, doors, and arm rest/shift panel. Who knew that you would have to remove the dash to get the carpet out though...the 350Z carpet removal was much easier.
65% of the suspension bushings are installed. I still have to do the left rear and half of the right rear bushings.
I still have not received the intercooler kit, but it should be here any day now. The stock turbo/exhaust/intercooler/oil cooler/ratsnest/fuel system is gone. I have test fit the manifold and turbo and need to order exhaust tubing next week. The new fuel system is installed. I can't finish the oil cooler mounting and plumbing until I know how the v-mount ducting is going to be.
So yea...looks like I still have a lot of work.
