Nope even with sunnies it's bad. Without sunnies your eyes water!!

Thanks for the comments. Yea I got the car a few months ago as an unfinished project. Alot of the interior had been done and it had been resprayed. The car had also just had the NA engine swapped out for a DET and an Auto to Man conversion. When I got it the car was horrible to drive. It was still stock but with bigger injectors and fuel pump and had no power and fuel blowing out the exhaust. Things I have had to do is finish the interior, completely redo all the electical work inside. Basically when the indiglow covers where fitted to the dash the needles were removed and every guage was stuffed. Had to replace dash, redo all the wiring behind the dash, recalabrate speedo and fitted stereo and turbo timer. Have spent close to 8k on the car after buying it. Motor is very nice now but still needs another tune as it's missing in first at around 4200rpm (and knock sensor was too high for my liking). Once I do wheels and new turbo I will be happy with it for a while. Ohh and the comment about the glare off the dash is true. ATM you will go snowblind driving this car on a bright day. My interior guy is doing up a custom dash mat that will fix the glare problem.

Yup they are 4 stud mags. After christmas I will go mag shopping but until then these will have to do. Wheels are probably the weekest part of the car atm.

Thanks Prae .. didn't check it before

Most of the engine mods are done. So far have PowerFC, Nismo Cat back exhaust, New hiflow cat, Custom dump pipe, front mount, Big pod in stainless airbow (looks very nice) with cold air pipe from front, GFB stealth BOV and a huge service to replace most wear items. On the dyno running stock boost it did 183kwatw. Should do around 200 on stock turbo boosted to 12 psi. Saving for a GT30 turbo etc now and hope that with that and AVCR to get around the 250kw without huge boost. Might look at a rebuild then so I can push it to the 300kw mark but still not sure.

Guys one thing you can do in Queensland is to grab a small tape recorder and if your pulled over tape the conversation. All traffic cops are running a tape and if they book you and you fight it your within your rights to ask for a copy of the tape. It is quite amazing how their attitude will change if they know your taping them :-). If you can tape for a while (while your being abused) then let them see the tape and watch them change tune in some cases they may even let you go.

better one of interior .. had to resize them all to get them to upload :-(

Damn give a man 5 min to upload them :-)

The Pics

Got the car back again (still need one more trip back to mechanic for final couple of items) and it's looking better. Going back for some more tuning on the dyno as I was getting a little detonation at around 4500rpm in first under load. Pretty happy and I am now saving for the GT30 turbo, ext wastegate which is the next stage. I am thinking about putting in the avcr beforehand and pumping up the stock turbo till then but not sure. I am also thinking of changing the square inserts in the doors to yellow to break up the white and am interested in any comments you may have on the interior. Here are a few pics to start of.

Looks great. I like the stripe it will help us recognise you around town. Think about a PowerFC. I am sooo glad I spent the extra money and put one in my car as it really makes a difference when tuning.

Will let you guys know how it goes. After talking to QLD transport (that was frustrating) they put me onto a guy that they recomend for mods. After I have my mods done he will come out and check them all. I have to have a printout from my dyno tune showing emissions/airflow etc also. I told him I had a new front mount, pod filter that was having a custom box made up, power FC, aftermarket BOV (GFB Stealth that plumbs back or vents) and full exhaust. He said that should be no problem as long as my emissions are ok and everything is safe. He will provide me with a certificate that you then take to QLD transport with a modification form they have. It will still need to be inpected by them to confirm that the certified mods are there and will then issue a plate. After reading the mod guide I am starting to realise how much of a pain keeping it legal will be. For example you can fit stearing wheels that are ADR approved if you don't have an airbag however changing seats will normally mean you have to get the car inspected. I was also told (this is still unconfirmed) that the only way to get a CF bonnet certified is get 2!! One for the car and one for them to destroy to check if it is safe.. I am booking him in for Thursday I hope and will let you know what happens. After this is all done I am sort of looking forward to getting pulled over :angel:

My car is painted yellow and has a full white interior. Most of it is white leather with the roof etc done in white vinyl. The dash was sprayed with with white vinyl paint and the plastic around the dash is done in metalic silver. All I can say is that even though it looks good (well I think it does) this car is pain to drive in full sunlight. The glare from the dash is so bad that without sunglasses you have a hard time seeing. I am getting a custom dash mat made up in grey to match the plastic which I hope will fix up the glare problem. As soon as I get the car back this week from the shop i'll get some pics posted.

If you want something that is going to make noise your going to making the car illegal and subject to getting a defect. The cops love the noise of a BOV as it gives them reason to pull you over. When buying one just make sure it is made for a R33 or has the adapter plate you need and yes they are easy to install. I have a monza (HKS copy) that is very loud and makes that great flutter noise but replacing it on monday for the GFB stealth. You can dial it to no noise or loud depending on what you want and when set to plumb back it's legal!!. Remember it's not the noise that makes them illegal it's the fact they vent engine gasses that havn't been through your cat.
