  2. Cheers mate, Will get a better pic when i pick up the car next week. They went into a HKS glovebox insert.
  3. Not really much, Had a standard rebuild in Japan by Midori Seibi using an R34 block and crank etc.
  4. Northmead Auto did the work and completed it all within 2 and a half weeks!
  5. So tuning is finally complete!! It's now making 364rwkw (23psi) on pump 98 and 472rwkw on E85 (30psi) and rev limit has been upped to 8,500rpm. Kept it relatively safe because I care about the motor!. Will take it down to the strip and just do a mph run to see what it's capable of soon.
  6. I'm in but what is the price for this again?
  7. Forgot to mention that I'm running a Haltech Elite 2000 with 4 bar map sensor and CAN gauge, also a rotary switch for boost control.
  8. So I haven't updated this in a while because no time/lazy. A lot has happened in the past month and I finally accumulated the parts I needed to get things moving. So here's a pic as it tells a 1000 words. Expecting it to be tuned within the next 2 days on 98 and E85. Parts added are: (1.2mm Tomei headgasket is already done) Kelford 272 degree cams Kelford Beehive valve springs and Ti retainers Tomei cam gears ARP2000 headstuds Plazmaman fuel rail ID 1700cc Injectors FPG twin 460 walbro in-tank setup HKS T51R SPL BB HKS 60mm GTII wastegate 4inch from the dump pipe down to an ARC 4inch titanium exhaust
  9. And now that all of the suspension components have been changed to fully adjustable gear, it was time to upgrade the brakes! So final pic with standard Brembos on it. Then we started to get to work and pulled everything off.. Cut a small section off the backing plate and the hub (part that holds the factory brake line in place) then fitted the adapter. I love how good these things look and how massive they are! So skipping ahead, we mounted the brackets and calipers and got to work on fitting the braided lines and modifying the hard lines to suit.. For the rears we used the Supertec bells as it was so much easier and has a big weight saving too, compared to the standard R35 units.. While we were at it, we upgraded to the BM57 as it utilizes a larger bore and improves pedal feel etc etc. Finally mounted the rotors Bled the brakes and used only the best fluid available. Hosed down the underbody to remove any potential brake fluid lingering around. End Result..... I cannot begin to explain how big of a difference this made over the standard brembos, you need to experience it to understand, and i'm only using the standard brembo pads that came from factory with the calipers.
  10. So it has been a while since I've updated this and there has been a lot happen since the last update... So here goes! Bought an ARC intercooler, Ikeya Rear LCA's and ARC (Auto Refine Company) fully adjustable sway bars You can see the difference to stock sway bars here.. These made a world of difference to the handling. (I probably should've done them sooner) Fitted them along with the Ikeya rear LCA's. Fitted the ARC Intercooler as the stock one was looking worse for wear, and I actually picked up throttle response as a result!! Now the front end looks so much cleaner! Then we had an event to promote Gran Turismo Sport at World Time Attack and I had the privilege to be on track with many other great cars! Also managed to snap a shot of Keiichi Tsuchiya with my car after I got to drive on track with him!
  11. They are quoting 2.40 times stiffer at front and 1.8 times stiffer at rear
  12. From Japan through Jesse Streeter. Diameter is 30mm and they are hollow.
  13. Upgraded my sway bars on the weekend to ARC ones (Auto Refine Company), fully adjustable etc.. Basically eliminated the body roll i had.. Not sure why I didn't do it sooner!
  14. I still can't believe they haven't sold to be honest.. The top skin has barely been scrubbed off them.
  15. $800 FIRM for this week only.. Next week back up to $900
  16. Got some proper pics, As you can see there would be over 99% tread remaining. Price is FIRM @ $900, offers below will be ignored.
  17. $900 FIRM means don't offer me anything less, People don't seem to be able to read.
