Yeh the bonnet was Simon, painted yellow but hadnt been used much/at all.

Power wise; it was previously making 290 and making more without the tune being finshed. I would like to see ove 320kw, but anything over 300 but wicked response and I will be happy. My aim of this car has been to make it an unreal street car. So driveability and wicked response has been my main aim. Hence why i didnt go with the -5s with the stock 2.6l.

But lets wait and see

Thoughts so! You beat me to that bonnet haha.

I bought his original front bar off him.

Did you see his GTR while you were there? He thought his wheels were the only set in Australia until we opened up my boot to put the front bar in haha. He was devastated.

He told me big power, big pipes (4" throughout the engine bay and to the end) but wasn't finished yet when I was there.

Yeah, definitely, don't need to chase a number. Response is where its at, especially for a street car.

Nah mate I bought it while I was overseas lol (ebay ad but offered him an amount before the auction went off). Yeh his wheels did look good in the picture and i imagine he would have been devo when he saw your wheels.

Yeh I cant wait to get home and drive it, going to be a completely different car. on the qld raceway calander seems there is a happy laps next month. (Hint hint)

Haha, yeah, I knew that. Forgot about that.

I sent him a text message, still had his number, you must have made an offer he couldn't refuse haha.

Will come out and watch you put some rubber down ;)

Seeing as you went the whole Z-tune style kit. Did you think about doing the pumped front guards?

I know people have mixed opinions on them. Some angles it looks tough and some angles it looks a bit awkward :/

Car looks absolutely immaculate mate congrats !!!

I have one question for you though - what size cooler did you end up going (from the pic it looks relatively thick and like 100mm) and did you need any trimming of the bar to get the cooler to fit on properly ??

Cheers

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
