Got the car back again (still need one more trip back to mechanic for final couple of items) and it's looking better. Going back for some more tuning on the dyno as I was getting a little detonation at around 4500rpm in first under load.

Pretty happy and I am now saving for the GT30 turbo, ext wastegate which is the next stage. I am thinking about putting in the avcr beforehand and pumping up the stock turbo till then but not sure.

I am also thinking of changing the square inserts in the doors to yellow to break up the white and am interested in any comments you may have on the interior.

Here are a few pics to start of.

nice... looks like my new one on the outside except your is s1....

but nice colour.... thats what made me by the new one... (YELLOW)

NOTE: Why is it that evey dash photo i have seen recentlly no one has much gas in the car... I guess the cost of the interia has hit the back poctet hard!!! LOL

Most of the engine mods are done. So far have PowerFC, Nismo Cat back exhaust, New hiflow cat, Custom dump pipe, front mount, Big pod in stainless airbow (looks very nice) with cold air pipe from front, GFB stealth BOV and a huge service to replace most wear items. On the dyno running stock boost it did 183kwatw. Should do around 200 on stock turbo boosted to 12 psi. Saving for a GT30 turbo etc now and hope that with that and AVCR to get around the 250kw without huge boost.

Might look at a rebuild then so I can push it to the 300kw mark but still not sure.

Nice and clean :rofl:

Can I just point out that FWD offset wheels (whether the tyre dude says they fit or not) on RWD cars look like they're sunken in to the wheelarches. It makes the car look bloated... kinda like a wide body kit on a car with stock wheels and tyres...

It doesn't look stupid, just that with the smaller diameter it doesn't look as tough as it should be. If you get some suitable offset wheels with 8" wide on the front and 9" on the rear she should look real tough... can I suggest some white Buddy Club P1s or something similar?

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
