Other Comment's about the vehicle:

I have a shedload of cool spares for you to add to your purchase (buyer gets preference, leftovers go on sale):

*Spare DE+T long motor with blown head gasket

-Turbo Manifold

-T25G

-If you purchase the engine above, you get the adapted sump you'll need

-Obscure intercooler pipes and clamps

*RB20DET AFM & Plug

*CA18DE Exhaust Cam X2 (run them, with adjustable gears and dyno-tuned, to gain midrange)

*4xGTR 440cc injectors, flow-tested (no report, sorry, it's been lost)

*Re-wired CA18DET resistor pack (to go with the GTR injectors for correct resistance)

*KA24DE Throttle body (you need to dremel out the factory CA18 inlet manifold to make use of extra diameter this gives)

*Factory warning light bar, (I wanted to change the bulb colour and type so you could actually see them during the day)

*Spare CA20 gear shifter (I investigated alternate angles)

*3" Mechanical Exhaust shut-off valve. Reconditioned.

*S12 Parkers x2 pairs.

*R33 Driver's Seat - dismantled to investigate possiblity of merging with S12 seat.

With the engine goodies I have, a T2860RS, FMIC setup, and turbo-back exhaust, I would expect in the vicinity of 180rwkw @ 16-18psi with a tune. That's where the project was going.

Career decisions mean that I've lost a lot of blood, sweat, and tears, let alone money, without ever seeing it finished, and hardly ever driving it. But it was an absolute ball when I did In basically its current state it will slide 3 lanes just from flat-changing 2nd-3rd in the wet on a flat straight road.
