Hmmm. Not convinced.
Wezz - If you do that then the P1 splitter won't match the swage lines of the P2 skirts and it'll look odd. Same as when people have flat sided P2 front bumpers on P1s or VZRs, doesnt work well together as the P2 kit is very flat whilst the other 2 are much more '3d'.

I think I prefer it that way too Steven 
S'pose I better update...
- Passenger rear arch has been painted. Decent for silver imo.
- 2.25" Cat back s/s - 4" slash tip. Noise ways it's not much louder, just deeper. De-cat goes on at the weekend.
- B+M Short Shifter here and ready to go on over the weekend
Pics over the weekend.

Toyo t1-r's at the end of the month.

I've been extremely shit and lazy last week.
I got the 200sx de-cat up against the exhaust and seen it was about 2inches too big so decided against this. It also looks like to do the short shifter / gear linkage you need to drop the exhaust and heat shield...is that right or can it be done from the top? Anyway, decided to wait untill the 4-2-1 and gti-r de-cat arrived and then do everything at once.
In other news, today the car got it's first proper test of performance. It ran a 16.06 @ 87mph at Crail (two 16.06's and a 16.07 confirm it wasn't a fluke).
I wanted a standard as possible time so the car was run with a full interior and 95ron petrol. It's the first time I've really given the clutch a good kicking and I reckon that when it was done shortly before I bought the car, it's been done with a poor replacement item as it slips a wee bit. I also found, on getting home, that the exhaust flexi had burst which explained why power was dropping quite quickly at the top end which I think I mentioned to Ross.
The slipping clutch actually meant pretty good starts but crap shifts. On the plus side, I'm confident this is already a high 15 second car in the right hands (I am the wrong side of 20st) which is good considering the only mods are the induction kit and 2.25 cat back.
With the 4-2-1, de-cat, short shifter, Toyo's, Optimax and a mild interior strip it should be much better - I'm going to aim for an EK9 bashing 15.2.
Clocked up 4k since buying it exactly two months ago. I LOVE this car.

to fit the short shifter you need 2.....
1. remove gearknob
2. remove gear gatour
3. remove 2 nuts on surroundin bracket
4. remove exhaust heat shield
5. remove nut and bolt from lower part of shaft
6. remove 2 bolts on bracket
7. now the bracket should drop and you will now be able to remove the cover round the ball on the shaft.
8. shaft should now lift nut from inside the car.
it was a couple of weeks now since i fitted mine so i might have missed somethin out lol but that is pretty much how you fit them.
all i will tell you tho is what ever you do dont over tighten the lower nut and bolt, cos you wont be able to select any gears lol. i found that out the hard way lol.
