Gtst - The Never Ending Build

[75coupe]

thanks mate, means alot hearing things like that from other owners....

[75coupe]

engine bay shot, cant wait to strip it down to get all the parts powdercoated...

[75coupe]

Got these lenses cut finally, hopefully get them fitted up and have all clear lenses on my front bar, cant wait...

Nice build thread man, car looks good. What's next to do on the list?

[75coupe]

Finish off these clear lenses and get the e85 fuel system and tuned, but i saw a larger hks exhaust housing so tossing up putting that on for the new tune, perhaps not...

Then get either half cage or harness bar so i can finally fit the takata harness i have and also a passenger rail so i can fit the other sparco fixed back i have

looks good mate, kind of looking like its had some steroids with the bonnet and the orange indicators gone..

can see the stock radiator giving in soon though..

[75coupe]

what makes you think the stock radiator will give in?

what like, not be enough to handle the heat or just get old and not work properly no more?

I had my radiator crack at SMSP last month. Really wasn't expecting it to go considering I'm making <200rwkw but it was a hot day..

[75coupe]

Oh well ill wait for mine to go, every part wears out eventually...

Yeah I think the heat gets too much, there really thin and old, mine gave up after a few dyno runs of 320kw.. just got it home, turnt it off and she opened up.

So you got an update shot of engine bay with all the powdercoated peices?

[75coupe]

Havnt coated the parts yet but i did finish the clear indicator lenses so i now all clear glass lenses on the front bar...

[On Edge]

Yep and mine blew the top tank off it a few months prior to Matts letting go, considering the cost of an engine rebuild i would be doing it

Oh and its also more bling lol

[75coupe]

Well ill wait till i can see the budget for a decent koyo rad...

Yep i need to post pics of the indicator lenses installed, they look cool and have wanted to do it for so long..

[On Edge]

Would love to do the same myself!!

Do your research on Radiators... I had a choice of Koyo vs PWR vs Racepace and had to learn quite a bit while choosing... Bigger isn't always best

(Thats not what she said )

[gtr jet]

I bought a ching chong radiator and haven't had any issues with 2 years of track days but if I had the money I would have gone the Racepace.

[75coupe]

And finally a photo of them finished!

[75coupe]

So im thinking i will have to roll the front guards and maybe a pump if possible to fit 17x9 with 265 rubber, if anyone knows someone to do it on the central coast that would be helpful...

Another track day coming up too, so need to replace clutch and general stuff like oil & filter change, bleed brakes and bleed brakes.

Hope to have temp sensors installed in plenum, turbo exhaust housing to see changes in air temp before and after ceramic coating to all intercooler piping and plenum... If i can get the time to dismantle and and reassemble... Fingers crossed!
