A Few Upgrades + Custom Turbonetics Turbo Pics

[whatsisname]

To the lads (and ladies) that still remember me... I've been very quiet lately and if I haven't replied to PM's that's simply due to a total lack of SAU time My apologies But I had a few spare minutes so I though I'd put a pic or two up.

I've done a bit of an interior 'tidy-up' and more engine detailing 'things'.

Nothing major - certainly no show car. But I like it and the seats feel awesome.

Velo Milanos x 2

Front door and rear inserts in same red fabric as Velo's

Rear seats in same red and black as Velo's

New black roof lining

Gear and hand brake boots in black with red stitch combo'

Sun-visors in black with red stitch combo'

All roof mounted plastics in gloss black plastic paint

Few other more boring bits.

Thanks Chapman. Very soon hopefully! The turbo arrived in OZ the other day and everything should be ready to begin work in about a week - fingers crossed. There's a bit to do - new manifold, inlet piping, 'flashy' oil/water lines and fittings, exhaust mods, heatshield and then extra time if the turbo combo' need to be modified. And then once it's all good it has to come off again to be ceramic coated.

Hey I just noticed in your details - R34 4dr! Very nice mate. Auto or manual?

Thanks Darren. How's the RB30DET beast coming along? What's the ETA on large turbo fit and tune?

pokie,

Haha hey don't worry I only know what 1/2 of it does.

[nos man]

got some engine bling happening! nice nice! looks like a bitch to service the car but by the looks of the engine it's worth it!

[CheekyR32]

Looks REAL nice Matt.

You always said you wanted to do more interior stuff. I like ya carbon fibre pillars.

As always, its too damn shiny..

Interior tidy up

Matt if you call a re-trim a "tidy up" you can come "tidy up" my house any time you like!

Looks the goods mate, look forward to seeing you soon!

i like the veljos very much mate. top stuff goes excellent with the cars colour

[4door_Sleeper]

Top job Matt, looks very nice.

[Madaz]

i love the Gear and hand brake boots in black with red stitch combo'

great looking ride alot of effort

[Deluxe]

Nice work fella......lookin sweet as! Is the colour of the car RED or is it MAROON? Looks very similar to mine and mine isn't red or the normal Maroon! Just wondering?

Looking around May at this time if all goes well. Other stuff keeps coming up though like the coils shitting it under some higher boost....

[Nightcrawler]

awesome job Matt, as always.

I take it she is still making around 300rwkw?

You need to come over and take me for a spin (and to see my 34 )

[whatsisname]

Damn no access at work bites.

Thanks nosman. Yeah servicing is a little more time consuming than normal. Eventually a Greddy plenum will go on - so at least plug changes will be easier.

Thanks Mrs Munro And how's the family (little one in particular) doing? Well I hope. Saw the X5 parked out at the caravan yard the other day, I'm guessing that was John?

Hahaha yeah fair call Will Thanks mate. How's the house coming along? Did you manage to squeeze that extra 'house extension' (read cam upgrade) in? Likewise, I'm keen to see all you guys! I wish I had more spare time It's amazing how much time house reno's and a little one takes up. Haven't even been for a surf in months

r31turbo: Thanks mate. I dealt direct with the guys at Velo - highly recommend them! The prices are very reasonable considering you're getting a custom ordered full glass seat ie lightweight. I looked at other brands, but when you consider the fact that there's no freight costs (for example: Cobras are waaaay overpriced in Australia compared to UK prices once converted to AUD $) and you're supporting an Aussie company it's no contest.

Thanks Guy. I've spotted the silver beast around a few times over the last few months mate. Still looks immaculate.

Thanks Madaz. I figured the black/red stitch combo was a good way to add detail without going over the top.

I'm not sure about the car's colour Deluxe. In the past I've had a few people mention it looks more red than the standard maroon. Hmmm... you might be on to something there mate.

I understand your frustrations Daz - hang in there mate. The set-backs and hold-ups only make it sweeter when it all comes together.

Hey Andrew! Thanks dude. Naaa less than 300, but still up there. Hangin' to see how much it 'can' make though. The new set-up should be good.

Yeah for sure mate! I'm keen to check out the 34. Once the 33 upgrade is complete (should start within a week or so) then I'll head over and we can catch up.

Yes, yes I did.

Baby Kong is coming along nicely, "She" will be making her entrance very soon. Yep, that was John with the black family chariot, you should have popped in to say hello.
