RiseofBrutality

The car stayed this way up until a few weeks ago My mechanic had a second hand HKS GTRS turbo sitting in his garage and said it was mine if I wanted it. I held out for as long as I could and eventually gave in and started working on more power I gave the keys to him and borrowed his car for a few weeks It was also time to finish the suspension with a set of whiteline adjustable cambers, finally get the sandwich plate put in for the oil temp and put in the Profec B II EBC The turbo was put in and after fixing up some boosting problems (well lack of boost) it was ready to take her for a run and see how the new turbo went Holy crap did it pull. I could instantly feel the difference. I left the car with him for a bit longer just to tidy up a few things. I get a phone call a few days later telling me the HKS wastegate snapped. We didn't know the condition of the turbo or how it would go so I'm kind of lucky it was only the wastegate that failed. Opted to go for a Turbosmart wastegate with a minimum 14psi spring. Installed that baby and took it out for a spin. We had to adjust the wastegate quite a bit as the car was boosting around 24psi. In the end it was around 18psi. It was now time to take her home ready for the tune the next day Myself, mechanic and some mates had long talk about who we were going to get to tune the car and decided to get the boys at Insight Motorsport a go and I was the guinea pig. So I dropped her off tuesday morning at Insight and picked it up around midday wednesday after the cold start tune. The plan was to have a low (15psi) and high (18-20psi) boost. Slight problem, we maxed out the injectors and AFM So a safe tune was done on 16psi. The car made 220kw at the rears. I was very, very happy with how the car was running. It felt a lot stronger and just wanted to keep pulling The guys at Insight said that the turbosmart wastegate was a good choice. So that's where I'm at now. Plan for the future will be a new ECU, 1000cc injectors and cams. Retune her and hopefully get close to 270-280 End game is 300-350 but that will be way down the track New front seats (Bride) and rims (TE37SL) are also on the cards

.

The car had some nice mods already on it. Pipe work was already done, turbo timer, FMIC, fuel pump, ECU, clutch, turbosmart boost tap It was also tuned on 15psi and made 206kw at the rears I had my first problem with the car on the long weekend in June 2012 I was on my way to work (on my birthday), it had just been raining and I was cut off by a P plater, I jumped on the breaks to avoid being hit and the ass end slide out. I kept control as much as I could but ended up smacking in to the gutter. Buckled both left rims and damaged the sway bar links. Pic of the back left rim While the 2 left rims were getting repaired I decided to get all 4 repainted I thought while the car was out of action it was time to upgrade the suspension I dropped the car off at my mechanics house and put the order in. Pedders adjustable coilovers, whiteline adjustable front and rear sway bars and whiteline sway bar links A couple of weeks later the rims were back and they looked great After having the car back for a few months I decided it was time to change the look of the car a bit I always had my eye on a set of Defi gauges and thanks to a member on here I was able to pick up a nice second hand set. The orange blinkers looked crap so I bought a set of Nismo clear front and side indicators and also a nice Nismo leather gear knob The oil temp wasn't set up yet as we needed a sandwich plate Also went on my first Bells Line run. The car never felt so good going up the mountain with the new suspension. It was like it was on rails. I also got my new plates Also added some small goodies from Nengun

Cheers Timmy Yeh, thats whats currently in the car. It is and will be my daily for quite a while but I plan on hitting the track and quarter to have some fun

I've thought about writing up one of these for a while now and I've got some time to kill at work at the moment so I guess here we go Some background first My first car was an old red 86 corolla while I was on my L's. The car ended up getting totalled out the front of my parents house in the early hours of the morning. Scrapped that car and bought a 97 EK1 Civic, an awesome little car to cruise around in on my red P's Had plans on doing a b18 conversion on it but ended up buying a 97 DC2 Integra instead. Only a few basic bolt on mods were done by the boys at Toda in wetherill park, 115kw at the fronts I had this through my red and green P's. I lost my licence for 3 months and during this time 2 cars caught my eye, S15 Spec-R and R34 GTT. 2 guys I used to work with owned 1 of these each. The more I looked in to both these cars, the more I fell in love with the GTT. Now I knew what car I wanted, and I knew exactly how I wanted it to look. Black and with the Nismo kit Fast forward a year and a bit to december 2011, I sold the integra and bought a run around corolla so I could save up for the GTT So I searched around the net for over a year or so looking for that "one" car. Until in april 2012, searching carsales at work, I finally found it. It looked clean, well looked after and exactly what I wanted. I called a mate of mine and sent him the link to look over. After working out the funds and a few email conversations with the seller, it was time to go see her in person. I took a mate of mine with me as he has owned a few skylines and knew what to look for. We pull up to the meeting place and there it was, the pictures did not do it justice. Even before we got out of the car I told my mate I'm buying it. I had him look it over from to to bottom and after a talk with the owner it was time for a drive. Now the funny thing was, I was still on my green P's, I could of gone for them whenever I wanted, just never had the need to, until now lol I had my mate test drive it for me and once he gave me the go a head I left a deposit. As we were driving back to our mechanics place he said to me he never understood my obsession with getting the GTT with the nismo kit until he saw this one lol A couple of days after that I got my full licence and a few days after that I paid the rest and picked her up. So that's my story and here she is A few days after I picked her up last year Out with a some mates a few weeks later

A couple of write ups from the night + pics http://ofim.com.au/2013/03/25/mega-of-a-meet/ http://sydneyallstars.com/2013/03/mega-meet-2013/

I'm Blacktown based but always down for a cruise/meet up if I'm available

Anyone know if they ended up announcing the awards?

A few of my happy snaps

The turn out was crazy, I was very surprised in the amount of cars that arrived It was good to meet some of the members and finally sign up as one Lots of laughs had I think for me, the highlight was that EK Civic with half of the car packed full of subs. That car should of fallen apart with that amount of bass Here's a few happy snaps

Quick question, will there be a members sign up on the night?

Just bought my VIP ticket, bring on friday

Do you guys need any help with the SAU stand? I'm willing to help out if needed

I had my eyes on the te37sl for my 34 gtt and now seeing how they look on one they will be my next major purchase Few questions, who did you pick these up from? What offset? What rubber have you got on them?

A lot of very nice cars, couldnt stop drooling over the GTR line up Took a few pics before my low phone battery stopped me from taking anymore

Since my 34 wasnt ready for the charity cruise (stupid buckled rim) I'm heading to this for sure

Either Scott or Bob would of tuned it. Engine has done early 150k from memory Timing belt was replaced before I got the car (April last year)

Unsure, my mechanic hasnt had a chance to have a look at the VCT since the tune I'll mention this to him though

Sprockets and intake manifold are standard

Hpi turbo to cat downpipe Hks exhaust Hks mushroom filter R33 GTR Intercooler Apexi PowerFc Bosch 044 fuel pump HKS GTRS Turbo Turbosmart Wastegate Greddy Profec B II boost controller

Just that the injectors and AFM were maxed. Ill put 1000cc injectors and I'll need to change the ECU, thinking Haltech Also a problem with the VCT which ill make sure is fixed before the next tune Had to weld a new bracket for the wastegate as the one on the turbo wasnt strong enough to hold boost
