Yeah, the cores are pretty big. Something 2/3 or half the size would be fine for a T28 sized turbo.

Calipers look nice with Nissan in black. Should do the same with the rocker cover. My spark plug cover was black too might be nicer than the grey as well.
Yeah when does your boost kick in? Mine was same turbo and similar size, generally had to wait til 3.5-4k for some nice boost.

It gets full boost around 4.5 sometime 5k so think its time for bigger turbo and tune.

Ill upload pics later, I got some lowered springs for it, put new pads and rotors in front and new pads in back,changed exhaust manifold gasket, Gave her a good wash.

Oh and gearbox exploded 2 nights ago :/

Lucky I just got a spare box that need reverse fixed cheap from a mate, but still need to fix and swap boxes

That's awfully late for a stock T28. Mine would hit full boost at roughly 3k.

love it dude. the s15 design has aged so well compared to other cars from 1999

Agreed, the Silvia is one of my all time favourite cars even though ive never owned one personally. Ive driven plenty and they are such a fun car to drive and the Aesthetics are timeless imo.
