Yeah that's me haha I'll most likely come along for the next cruise so I'll see you there

I came to a track day not too long ago to watch a few NoN cars at the RAC track. Good fun but I'm yet to come on a cruise haha. My car has only just been tuned so now I can actually drive it ?

Great thread so far, Josh, looking forward to seeing more

Yeah I've almost got my mind set on getting the dba 4000 T3 front and rear rotors and combine them with some QFM HPX pads or similar... I don't have much experience with brake pads other than the Bendix I've got currently which are in need of changing so I'll have to look into it a little more. Good luck with your build too haha, hope you're having as much fun as I am with mine

Update: So finally time for an update... I've got the car back and it's still in one piece much to my surprise. I took the car to WTFauto and had them change the timing belt and water pump with gates replacement units. The car was tuned by Tristan at WTF and I can't find a fault with the tune... It's a whole new animal. Final figure was 357.8hp at the rears running 18psi. For anyone who has had experience with the WTF dyno might know that the true figure is a little more than that... Overall couldn't be happier with it now. It's easy to drive around on the street without being on boost all the time like with the tiny stock turbo and comes on nice and hard when I want it to. From here on I'll be focussing my funds on some new brakes including rotors, pads and lines and maybe a master cylinder stopper just to make sure it can stop when I want it to. I'll have my eyes open for a set of 33GTR brembos or maybe even a set of evo brembos. Come tax return and I'll be ordering a set of HSD monopro coilovers just to make it handle better. In the not too distant future I'll be in the market for a set of new cams and E85...

Update. It's a strange feeling driving behind your car when it's on the back of a truck... So the car took a while at the shop getting its pipework done. It didn't seem to take so long because I had uni exams in the meantime and had almost got it off my mind when I got a message to say it was done and ready for pickup. I'm so impressed with how good it all looks (and sounds...) I've honestly never seen welds as clean as these. Overall I'm so happy with the outcome and for anyone in Perth I'm happy to recommend the guy who did the work. Looks just how I wanted it to look and then a little better. And then underneath is a sneaky screamer because I like loud noises... So far the car is actually running better than before I changed all the parts over to the new parts which has me a little confused... my only issue now is the wastegate won't open until around 25-30psi which I've only tried once and decided that rather than having to fix a broken motor, I wouldn't do again until i've worked out why it won't open at a lower boost. I've since taken the gate off (Tial 44mm MV-R) and changed the spring from a black and blue spring (0.8bar, 12psi) to just a black spring (0.4bar, 6psi). Hopefully this helps and prevents the serious overboosting. Now to book it in for a tune and wait to see some good numbers hopefully.

Thanks man

Update. I got a box from AutoPro the other day and after I opened it I felt like a kid in a candy store... Such excitement when I got all the parts I've been waiting for... I went with Aeroflow and got rubber hose for the water lines and high temp stuff for the oil drain. I also got a teflon -4 line for the oil feed. The only catch was they sent blue fittings for the oil feed instead of black but I don't really mind at the moment and theres plenty of time to change it later on. I used the stock oil drain fitting but had to modify it slightly so it didn't hit the manifold Then put it all together... That blue fitting doesn't look too bad imo... I used fireproof tubing on all the lines and also the vacuum hose that goes to the gate Now next on the list is to get some pipework done and then tune (y)

Thanks bud!

Update: I'm coming to the end of my semester at uni and with exams coming up I should be studying etc. etc. etc. So instead I worked on the car... Unfortunately I found a patch of paintwork on the front passenger fender thats quite dull and in need of some tlc and meguiar's juices After looking at the paint and not doing anything about it, I finally got around to installing the Profec boost controller to replace my fully sick boost tap. I found a nice tidy spot for the solenoid just under the passenger headlight Then I put the controller unit in the dash under the head unit nice and accessible I also moved the power steering fluid reservoir to where the carbon canister normally sits to prevent any overheating of the fluid when the new turbo is getting hot... this is where it sits now When I test fitted the gate I noticed the vac hose going to it from the solenoid was rather close to the manifold so I got some heat resistant tubing so hopefully that does the job of keeping it from melting Nice and snug That sums up this update, hopefully the turbo water and oil lines will be ready before the end of the week so I'll update again when they're installed. Cheers

Update: So I've put in a bit of work on the car this week, took off the old dump pipe, turbo, manifold, oil/water lines. The old dump pipe was more a function over form item with it looking a little on the dodgey side... Then I test fitted the new mani and turbo and looks the goods. The plan is to run a breather pipe from the rocker cover into the intake of the turbo and eliminate the need for the catch can as it was taking up a bit too much space. Next up are the braided oil and water lines which I'm having made up by the local Autopro. I'll probably be putting in the EBC in the coming few days so I'll try to update again then.

This thread is a pretty awesome read, the car looks nuts!

Yeah it's been 3 years with the car and everyone seems to want me to sell it... they just don't get it

It's still as good as the day I put it on ? I put on a few layers just to be sure
