Well I'm getting Turbo Back Exhaust sys, with CES Dump/engine pipe, Hi Flow Cat, Trust Power Extreme II from cat back.

Couple of guages mounted on the pillar, and probably a boost controller, and BOV!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:


Keviny: How much did you pay for the CES dump pipe? and where did you buy it from? Is it the mild steel or ceramic coated one?
Just curious as I am about to buy one.

just remember the pillar mount guages is a NO NO. you get busted - you get defect..


white 180sx: Not all pillar mounts are illegal. If you get the single original Nissan trim for the small boost gauge fitted to Jap spec cars you should be OK (sometimes cops will defect you even if it is legal).

The law which they use to defect is that there is to be no protruding item in a head strike area. The original Nissan pillar mount is not in a head strike area. I have seen engineers certificates to certify them.

There is a misconception that Nissan removed the gauge in Aus delivered cars as they could not pass ADR's. Not true. They removed it for cost reasons as the 200sx is aimed at the budget sport market. Because the original gauge is not a vacume unit it is expensive and for the Aus car to keep the boost gauge would have added close to $1,000 to the sale price of the car.

Keviny: The original Nissan pillar mount trim for a single gauge is about $140. A gauge to fit will start at about $140 for an Autometer.

White180sx: I really like your designs, Especially the last ones with the "S". Is this going to be an official type Silvia "S" though?

In the very last one tho, I reakon it would look much better and simpler without "why drive when you can drift" at the top, JMO.

Oh and whoever said to put my part on the back, thanks for the mention, but it looks more cohesive if white180sx designs the whole thing.


thanks dude.
I'm very open to ideas and would include suggestions.
i do like the Why drive when you can DRIFT. though i made it smaller just to make it a little cleaner

and yes. the S will be the silvia badge.
As soon as someone can forward me with one the sooner i can put it in..

Heres another one on the drawing board.

I was thinking of punching a whole on the card.
this way we can put some sort of band or string so we can wear it on club meets. Makes it easier to recognise who is who.. :D via thier NICK which means the nick should be thicker so its easier to read...
if you know what i mean...

you guys better have good hand writting :D

"Why drive when you can drift?" is sort of the theme for SilviaNSW so its most likely going to be on the card.

Mugs shots, photos will not be on the cards as this just causes more trouble than its worth.

I like the back design you modified white180sx, but I think the "Why drive when you can drift?" has been moved toooo close the car and looks a bit wrong.

I dont mind the "why drive...." quote, it just looks a little crammed where it is. Otherwise, I like the way the card is overall.

i threw in the yellow cos if its white then it looks too plain with all the white and greys bunched together.

the yellow breaks it off a bit.. :D

though i'm more inclined to this one

I like the idea of the wholes, but I dont know if we will go ahead with it.

As for the writiing would prefer it to remain as the one above but appear like this "Why drive when you can drift?" in order to keep in place with the site design etc.
