Haven't Posted in a while now haha, so let's update everything that has been happening with the car. I ended up installing the 3inch dump pipe as well as blocking off the BOV (i know some people think its stupid (i do half the time too) but i do like the flutter). Then came the time for the big install. I ended up purchasing 740cc nismo injectors and booked in my install and tune as well as the 100,000 km service. Needless to say it was expensive but all up worth it haha. It took a while to do (Just about two weeks) mainly due to it being close to the Barbagallo Drift Assault, which i went to to watch my friend drift etc The car is now back in my hands and im loving it. It's running 365 hp at the rears which is a huge power difference haha and it still has more in it (due to some restrictions and the coilpacks not performing too great causing some missfires (there also may be a boost leak)). Should be around 380 when it's done (trying to source the coilpacks now haha) and i'll then post a dyno run hopefully. Loving the car and will hopefully get to start some drift pracs soon, even bought 2 rota grids for my "skid" rims haha -- only 250! That's all for the car at the moment haha.

Future plans: Splitfire coilpacks, fix boost leak -- further future new front bumper and hopefully some saving haha.

Started from a practically stock car and after a lot of money im close to the point i wanted to be

Mods on atm:

• Hypergear Atr43g3 turbo running 19psi - braided lines etc
• Custom 3 inch metal intake
• genuine z32 afm (had to get another one since the one i had before was fake lol)
• 740cc nismo injectors
• cheap pod filter
• Hdi intercooler
• jjr 3 inch dump pipe -- highflowed cat -- 3.5 or 4 inch catback with a 4.5 * tip (very loud and had to be modified to fit the turbo)
• Walbro gss342 fuel pump
• Npc clutch
• Greddy profec b spec 2 boost controller
• HSD coilovers
• Dtm p10.1 rims 18x9.5 all round -- 225/40/18 stretched tyres

Yer loving it now haha. So much different compared to stock with the speed/acceleration and dosing haha . Losing grip just from accelerating in second is quite a feeling lol I'm trying to save for the cams licence so i can participate in the next drift prac! So keen to start

365 is reasonable.I ended up buying a hyperg turbo,the newest one they've got . My car is apart & hoping everything goes back in by the end of the month.Since im doing all work at home its taking a bit of time.Ive also got a Utra gate 38mm so I'm hoping I make close to 300kw as promised by stao haha.I thought about poncams (256)but wasn't sure as a lot of people are saying you make f*k all power

You have done well with your first car and mods.

To be honest man this was when i didn't know too much- just got advice from mechanic on what to get at the time man, it seems to be doing pretty well - no complaints

Hey peeps,

Taken my car to the drifts twice now . Been having some fun with it but of course there is some small issues now lol. First time i went i melted the aircon drip pipe and melted the plastic shut haha (so im not using my air-con at the moment lol). Second time i went i was having heaps of fun. V8 race is definitely my favourite corner, however i went a bit too ham into it at one stage and span out, that combined with some slight overheating meant the car stalled (wouldn't turn back on) and i had to get towed out haha! Turns out i had melted some wiring lol, so i have now booked in with PZP again to check for a boost leak and to heat wrap some stuff in the engine bay lol I also slightly messed up the front right guard lol. I tightened the dampening and my car isn't extremely low at the front however, when drifting that wasn't enough causing the tire to grab the guard and mess up the paint and put it out of shape I just kinda bashed it a bit so i could drive home lol

Anyway i'm still loving the car however im getting used to the power and kinda want more. Just trying to think what i could do that wouldn't cost and excessive amount as i'm still paying off a small loan i needed to get everything installed on the car

Yer man haha, i thought i was only going to get 320-340 hp. I'm just not smart enough to install everything my self haha (wish i could) -- kinda looking at cams myself at the moment -- i wanna see if i can crack the 400hp mark lol

Slight Update,

My car was tuned to united p100 before hand, but since they have taken that away i needed a retune. So i took it to PZP, who retuned me to bp98 and I somehow started to make more power . Car is now making 378.9hp at the rear.

Plans for the future (probably not for a little while though):

Arp Head Studs,

Metal Head Gasket,

Poncams -- maybe 256

Maybe e85 (with fuel pump and lines changed)

Retune

At the moment i'm having fun with this car. Hoped to make it to the drift prac on the 28th but i have work Next one hopefully
