Yeah this is moving at an amazingly quick rate compared to most , a few questions though, where'd you get the turbo manifold? And what're your plans for a transmission?

Just looked them up they're value for money is phenomenal! And I plan on going with that trans too for my 1uz build, locally here in the midwest they're way cheaper than the price of a used r154 or W58, while being twice as capable! The main concern I have with this Nissan Trans would be the fitment into the chassis itself. A company by the name of Collins makes parts for getting this to work with a 2j, 1j and 1uz.

Also a YouTuber with a mk4 supra by the name of Pure Function decided to go with a r154 despite already having purchased a cd009 becuase of difficulties he'd heard of with the fitment of this trans...something to think about lol.

I'm super pleased with the quality! And yea the Nissan Trans is work, but there is a guy locally that has done it and it really only takes some trimming of the outer case, he is making 1k whp!

Actually super easy, driveshaft, exhaust, brake lines, shock bolts, sway linKS or mounts, then 2 bolts up front and 4 in the rear , oh and wheel sensor wires drops right down, took me 45 minutes since exhaust was disconnected and driveshaft was of
