Newbie To The Site From T'ville

[festaonline]

hi there guys and girls , im new to the site but not new to the R31 as i have owned mine for 7yrs or so now , its not in th best shape but its rd worthy and just needs some TLC and $$ thrown at it ... A work in progress you might say lmao

INFO:

89 Series 3 Sillo Sedan

5 spd manual

Mini spool in the diff 3.89 ratio gearset

Lowered KING SPRINGS front and rear

15" mags from a nissan silvia which bolted on no worries as i was sick of the ugly lookin stndrd skyline wheels lol

Pod filter and modified induction system with extractors and a full 3" mandrel bent mild steel exhaust with highflow cat and cannon in the rear , mot a muffler of hotdog insite and the growl is quite prominent lol

15.79 is the ET at the drags on a 500k+ motor thats not too bad i guess with 2 gears of wheel spin

Looking at putting in a turbo N/A motor that i am collecting the parts for as we speak , so far i have the to4e turbo , highmount stainless manifold , 50mm wastegate and a haltech E6X EMS , need to get the injectors/fmic/head gasket and the various hoses and fittings to do the job , i have a spare motor that i am going to put the bits and pieces on b4 i swap it into the car , hoping to get 750cc injectors and run 14lb boost and i would like a modest 300hp at the rear wheels which shoud make for 13sec ET at the drags ....

anyhow here is the link to my car if you wanna have a look , as i said shes not too pretty and the paint has been through the wars but rome wasnt built in a day

nice,

dont ever paint it.

an awesome sleeper!!

first off id like to say welocme to SAU qld ;-)

mud is right i think after ya done the mods you will have a nice lil sleeper but i think you might be selling ya self a bit short when ya said 300hp , im runnin somthin very simler to you in my r33 . i got t04e on modifide hiflow manifold , 750cc injecters and running 35mm external gate thats been plumed right back to the bend ( for better flow ) and with a good tune and my safc2 dialed in right i got 400 rwhp

neway good luck with it

cheers ...... ;-)

mud to be honest i wasnt going to paint it anything flash , just rub back the clear coat and redo that and straighten panels and just get it looking as "normal" as i could so yeah the thought for sleepa is there as i dont wanna advertise to the boys in blue that i have something fun to drive ya know lol

quick33 i might be selling myself short but im also looking at the fact i have an N/A motor and dont wanna wring its neck just yet , if i get a bigger power rating than i'm quoting that would be awesome , the kit i have is a no brand setup not a garret or anything like that but hell when its finished i know it will be a hell of a ride specially with a locked diff and the rain we get here hmmm , i dont thinkill drive it in the wet as ill loose the little bit of plastic in my wallet for sure as im a wet drifter at heart lmao , im from darwin and we had wet or dry conditions so the learning was there for wet drifting , it was a good place to start as i have never driven anything with power besides he V8 holden when i was 17 hehe

anyways guys thanks for the welcome to the site and hope to talk to a few more of you again soon

cheers festa
