Looks pretty good there Josh.
One interesting thing to note is that with the installation of the camber tops, the nut for the shocker doesn't get to the nyloc section !
Interesting filter placement !!!!

Thanks for the great feedback guys!
ViPeR_NiPPleX: I actually had to make my interior black myself. There's progressive pictures on my website It started off cream/blue coloured and stripey!
Bach: Yeah I noticed that about them too. When I looked closely at them when I first bought them, it seems as if the nolathane/urathane material in the middle is kind of "cup" shaped. So the nut sits down inside it, but it is still in contact. Kinda hard to explain - but there's pics of the strut tops on my site before they go in the car, so you can see it a bit better from those.

A power steering cooler is something I would definitely recommend to all MA61 owners. The factory "cooler" is completely inadequate. Ever notice the power steering fluid leaking or condensing around the rim of the reservoir in the engine bay? Well mine doesn't do that anymore. Having said that, no cooler won't do anything short term - you will just find that you're going through steering racks faster than you should. I went through 3 steering racks in three years - second hand racks mind you, but still more than I should.
I can't really trumpet my success just yet because it's only been a few weeks, but I'm confident my MA61's appetite for steering racks has been permanently sated.

Hahahha, I noticed the shadow as well but thought to myself "nah, nobody else wil notice that". Hehehe.
As for the Nissan oil filter, I tried about 5 different types of oil filters, and the Nissan one was the only one that didn't leak at all. It's quite freaky now. I parked my car for 2 days on paper towels. NOT ONE drop from the entire underside of my car. Not bad considering she's just celebrated her 21st birthday.
The Genuine Toyota one was nearly as good, but it would still occasionally drop one or two droplets of oil. The Nissan one has never leaked one single drop. And yes, I know how to install an oil filter, I know how to pre-lube the rubber seal, and I know how tight to do them up I also read on some engineers website who was testing all the different brands of oil filters, and apparently the Nissan ones have a greater internal filtration area or some such. It's like 1 buck difference between all of the different filters anyway, so I figured why not go with the one that seems to be best.

No worries, happy to help.
You need to be VERY careful selecting an oil filter for your car. Not only in terms of the size of the fit, but also in terms of the number of threads that will hold it in. I've heard horror stories about poeple installing different oil filters on their cars, and not using ones properly suited to their cars. The oil filters actually get blown off by the oil pressure, because they're not being held on by enough turns on the thread. End result is a completely siezed engine, all because of a 14 dollar part.
The remote oil filter was put on quite a few years ago now, so prices have probably changed a fair bit. At the time it was around $100-$200. From memory Greddy sell a kit for $160, but I'm sure you can do better than that if you shop around.
It's also imortant not to just take everything I or anyone else says, at face value. The bottom line is that it's only my OPINION that Nissan oil filters are best - many will disagree with me, just as many will also agree. The best thing you can do in any situation - not just with oil filters and remote kits, is to snoop around and read as much as you can from as many sources as possible. Then make up your own opinion. Having said that, I'm always happy to give my opinion

Most of the prep work is done on the "new" brakes. Just need to do the seals and they'll be ready to go on... well, as soon as I get my grimey little paws on the adapters anyway.
I threw my mobile in to give some idea of scale - quite an improvement on the factory pushbike brakes

New discs - woot!
Re-drilled from 5 to 4 stud. My engineer said he wouldn't approve anything with less than 4mm "meat" between the original holes and the redrilled holes. I managed a healthy 6mm!

BAM! Right there baby
I couldn't afford baach's brakes anyway. Besides, being able to lock the brakes at 120km/hr is plenty good for me. I can't really justify the expense just so I can lock my brakes at 200
