nothing special. pics are of shite quality as they were taken with my handycam.

stock under the bonnet (just the way I like it). it's a 1989 model.

landed in sydney wednesday last week. saw it at mate's workshop. i had to have it. bought it by saturday. woohoo. will get some good pics of it looking all schmick soonish.

definitely needs some nice large white rims. GTS2 rims would look cool but not gonna find a set of em anywhere soon. anyway i'll open up the wallet for this baby later on down the track. keep ya posted :D

G'day Mark.

I checked out the car last week.....very noice indeed. Schweeeeet! I got a little excited actually and there's a bit of a clean-up job to do on the right-front guard. :Oops:

I reckon forget about the rims-if you're on a budget like me then you'll spend every cent on things that make the car go faster (and beer of course). Bigger rims will do bugger all for performance (often worse) and tyres will be harder to find and more expensive.

Besides, I reckon the rims that are on it look great!

Cheers,

Ben

PS: Great day on Saturday!

The nice people at Rays (and Enkei, et al) have solved this problem by producing forged monoblocks. No you can not only bling your car with some nice phat wheels, but they slash unsprung weight while increase your contact patch :(

    • Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?   
    • You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.
    • Run the piping how we all have for decades. Also the duel runners with the +T setup dramatically helps it gets on boost quicker. Yes, chase huge power it'll become a problem, but you're a long way off when you're already saying an aftermarket ECU is out of the budget. You also say NisTune as it's simple, and then immediately say it'll be painful, meaning... It won't be simple. It will likely cost you a lot more stuffing around with a Nistune, than just putting a Haltech or similar in.
    • I’ll order an afr gauge to keep an eye on it.  Then will get a haltech soon 
    • TD05 or maybe pulsar PSR2867r Gen 2?  id love a garret but it’s quite out the budget for now and I’m not chasing crazy power.    yeh fuel pump haven’t looked into but whatever works, kind of last on my list.    Nistune because it’s simple but Ik it’s a lot of pain especially as I’m auto +t with the whole seperate TCM etc still investigating that. Haltech id love but once budget tight for now atleast.    finally the reason I’m trying for a plenum instead of the stock intake is I already have a standard Intercooler mounted etc. so the ports are on both sides so trying to not have to go over the clutch fan radiator etc. trying to find a good deal return flow if I don’t than this will do for now I guess. btw any ideas with that, apparently some people have to cut blades to reduce it from hitting the Intercooler piping over the radiator ? Thanks
