G’day,

The names Damo, long time lurker, first time SAU Build Threader.

I Bought this in Queensland around 18 months ago while I lived there for a bit. Was a cheap buy, and had a RB25, hybrid cooler, walbro and a pod in it.

The car was pretty shagged out, soon after buying I did the following:-

  • Replaced shagged shocks with Tein Super Drifts and whiteline sway bars,
  • Had a Vipec Fitted and retuned to 190rwkw
  • Had a Autowatch immobilizer fitted

whilst in brisbane i enjoyed the best of the car scene over there, neebo runs and the like which was allgood fun, but then i moved to gladstone. Basically the car sat there in gladstone for 9 months as it was so farking hot i had to buy a new daily with Aircon, long story short I moved back to Perth and had to bring this with me, and I ended up selling my daily FG XR8 and driving this every day, then I got bored and have currently executed the following:-

Fitted my CE28’s off my old WRX STI - now have the tri spokes clad in some RE55 goodness for days at barbagello

New front bar with N1 lip as it was shagged – N1 side skirts and trust rear pods being fitted at the moment.

ATR43 .63 Hyper Gear Turbo

850cc injectors

Had the VCT hooked back up

3” TBE

Fitted some new seats, nardi and gear knob

260kmh nismo speedo

100k service, timing belt, tensioners, bearings etc.

And this is it at the moment

I also adjustable front / rear camber and castor arms, pineapple bushes etc and an oil cooler waiting for me to fit when i get back to perth in 2 weeks. (will also get some WA Plates :) )

i am chasing a R32 GTR Bonnet and latch - and i am also eying off a Kaaz 2 way LSD for sale at the moment :)

now quick question, ASG advised me its now at its limit for the turbo. Would it be worthwhile fitting cams to gain more midrange and a few more top end rwkw or due to the turbo they wouldnt have much more effect?

basically the car is for days at barbagello, collie and skid pans when i can get to them.

Cheers - Damo

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
