Very , very nice bud . Like a lot of things you guys did including keeping the air con and abs working. I see it a genuine S.A. car sold by Nissan despite the other thing OR you changed the steering wheel covers !
The exhaust manifold is crap. Don't mean this personally, but mine cracked 4 times in three months, eventually I went stock cast . Best thing I did .
Free horsepower here. Change the small little diverging intake before the throttle body. I picked up tons by doing this.

What exhaust manifold is that? Is that ceramic coating on it?

Looks very neat, well done.
