Wilwood/Fastbrakes front setup (well, I installed them a while back but they're fun to look at):
And powdercoated stuff too!
ARC intake box:
It's powdercoated "Almost Chrome", which makes it look like polished aluminum instead of the nasty oxidized bare aluminum finish it had before
Circuit Sports coolant overflow tank:
Same deal as the intake box. Now they'll never oxidize. Not sure I'll keep this tank though, it doesn't hold as much as the stocker.
Finally, the VC:
This was just for fun. I have another that I plan to paint either 350Z blue or match to the Diamond Graphite paint on my car.
I also blacked out the intercooler piping and the strut bar. I'm pretty happy with the results.
Couple more shots:
I also installed some maintenance stuff - re-timed the CAS, new tensioner, plugs, etc.In the next few weeks I also have a Nismo thermostat and rear stainless brake lines and pads to install, and urethane subframe spacers. More pics to come hopefully.

Veilside exhaust. 3", stainless, follows the stock routing which means it doesn't hang too low, and is pretty quiet too. One of only two I've ever seen for sale, which isn't the same as saying there aren't more in the States.

I like it too. Nothing like getting a $350 part for $100. And yes, Abbey Road Company is really that expensive new

Read the post, it's powdercoated, same as the intake box and coolant tank.

It has so far - six months and counting, though that's a new piece, since I had to use a smaller ID for the nipple on the tank. It's another reason I might go back to the stock tank...
Thanks for the compliments guys. I'm actually running out of stuff to do to the car, I might have to plan a turbo upgrade or some tasteful aero...
S13 Silvia front-end conversion and a decent paint job, nothing too flashy. I kind of want an OEM Silvia Aero front bumper and side skirts, but they're pretty hard to come by and quite expensive here in the States so there's a good chance it'll never happen.
I can't take credit for the body work - I did everything else (engine swap, suspension, brakes, blah blah blah) and basically have turned it into a Silvia in everything but right-hand-drive status. The paint was done by a shop local to me and for the most part I'm pretty happy with it.
One more thing I forgot - re-mounted the gauges (they were down by the radio). They may finally end up on the A-pillar but for now this is better than the old position. I'm also looking for a new headunit (I freaking HATE the Alpine) but that's another story.
Looks very very nice. Ive always wanted a 240. I cant understand why ST went from a nice grey to the crazy green. Keep up the good work.

And, I don't mind at all being looked down upon by purists. Indeed I don't mind at all being looked down upon by those whom I do not look up to at all. -
