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

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..   
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
