Hood ornament and wheels suck, definitely needs a lift and bigger tires.

Hmmm.. the blue tube on the passenger side has to be the intake, so is the long arse tube running to an intercooler?

These are the guys that did the turbo system:

And this page shows their routing on a 350Z (all I could find) but you gotta figure this is how they do all their systems:

I like the outside, I'm guessing it's over seas by the license plate. One of the guys I did work for a few summer's ago had one imported same body style with the ambulance doors, and they are super sick. 10 passenger with a stick and cloth interior, I would killlll for one, wish I could get one here like that instead of the 50k+ ones loaded with nav and leather, and all the stuff I definately don't need.

I could be wrong, but I am 99.99% sure this rig is a 105-series. If that's the case, unlike the 100-series, it comes with a solid front axle. (which makes it a BAD A$$ LAND CRUISER)

I'd definately one a barebone landcruiser like that. That way we can customize it the way we like it. Instead of all that luxury stuff that we don't need while wheeling.

im guessing that the long blue tube is running to a mist cooler but its all in the wrong place so I cant really conclude. It looks like a sweet setup though.
