Small Update.
Had some running issues with the car, fixed now, turned out the Z32 AFM was too close to the turbo, causing it to over fuel and run like crap
So just waiting for some custom pipework for the air filter and AFM to be relocated, then Its back to Hayes Engineering for a mapping session with Steve @ FC Tuning... Very helpful!!
Just test fitting skirts, getting the car running right and ready for its first outing which will be Pod on The 19th of March
Also had the car aligned At Elite, and lowered, here are some pics.
Thoughts??

Thanks for all the comments. The headlights are because the originals got smashed, and i didnt have ps13 front bumper, and the ps wings were fooked, had all the s13 stuff, so bought a bonnet and found some lights to fit... I think it looks cool, something different from all the other onevias anyways,
Cant wait to drive it!

Looks cool man, I had a bonnet like that, makes the lights look mean,
No over fenders,
Over fenders are desigend by and for homosexuals with pink cars and but plugs.
Keep it man spec with pulled metal, that even sounds manly.
'Ugghhhh'
Obligatory man noise!!!

And more to the point, why add over fenders when my wheels fit ok now?. Lol.
Just got back from bedding the clutch in a little with the car on axle stands.

Well, Took it to get mapped today by steve saddler @ FCtuning. (Top bloke)
Quite happy with the power it made.... Not so happy about the smoke from my alleged 7k old GT2871R.. So got home and ordered a new one.
367.5 Hp at the flywheel
312.1 Hp at the wheels
355ft lbs of torques

And current suspension settings:

All i need to do now is:
Fit new turbo when it turns up.
Hammer and re paint; Chassis rail and inner arch for clearance.
get rear arches rolled so all of my wheels dont rub
Then go skidding
Hopfully all before next saturday so i can take it to pod.
Sorry for the sideways photo, cant seem to rotate it, shows ok on my photobucket??

Well, got my turbo back from Owen Developments today. I cant thank them enough, a truely great service. Sent it to them last Wednesday, and got it back today after having a full rebuild. It seems the cause of the smoke was debris inside the oil feed housing of the turbo.
So Rushed home today and fitted it. As it sits now its all back together and running. Seems to be dripping oil from the exhaust.. Im hoping this is just excess from the old turbo in the system. Only run it for about 10mins tonight seeing as it was about 10pm
**************
Also had my arches rolled/flared tonight by paul from arch enemy. Top work from a good dude. Pics to follow tomorrow when ive lowered it.
So going back over there tomorrow, and i will leave it running for a fair time and give it a few revs to hopefully blow all the crap out of the exhaust. And If all goes well take it to the local learner driver centre for a little driving session to check everythings ok. Then It will be all ready for Notfolk on the 9th

Been a busy day again today. Got a few bits done.
Mainly lowered the rear into the arches.
Change leaking rocker cover Gasket.
Adjust handbrake up so it actually works
Take rear corner apart to change split CV gaitor... to find the new one dont fit... So hopefully change that tomorrow for one fits properly.
So hopefully be test driving it tomorrow. Then Ive just got to get it back over to hayes engineering for a check up and tweak the map to compensate for new turbo before the 9th.
Then skid it at norfolk on the 9th! hopefully.
