Epic build. Do you have any updated pics?

well played sir, black on black is spot on :D

colour walled tyres are exactly what tough starions need.
very respectful of the amount of work youve put in mate.

Thanks for the comments guys. It has been a very slow build.
No new pics to add at this stage.

The sideskirts work, and at first glance I thought it was a black widey.
Aerotech rear spoiler and sides (aren't they?) with JD/GSR-V front spoiler, all in one colour - looks the goods.

What about posting the old pics you had posted up, as they have dissapeared.

I have added as many pics back in as I could...

The car is off the road getting some more attention.

Front end suspension (D2's), bushes ball joints, sway bar, Calipers rebuilt, 5-stud conversion, braided lines & cross drilled and slotted rotors (soon!) and steering overhaul... It's only money

ETA for back on the road. 6th of May 2012 if I'm lucky LOL

Added some heat shields to protect the clutch, brake resouir, p/s box and bonnet.

Nice little decal added to the boot thanks to Mal. :beer

Had the intercooler in for a while, just though I'd share the photos for anyone else interested. Core is a Just Jap 450x300. 2.5" pipes with the end tanks modified to have the inlet and outlets at the top not the sides.

Looking good Pete :beer
You may want to have a little more space around the cooler pipes where they pass thru the radiator support as one seems to have minimal clearance and may rattle or wear the ally pipe.

...or use some Clark Rubber weatherstrip, 2.5/7T known as Number 10, around the R/S hole edging.

Oldie, you were on the money. They guy who did the pipework didn't leave much room and didn't protect the edges. There were some decent rub marks on the pipework. All sorted now.

Have all but finished swapping turbos over. Now has a HKS2530 (disco potato equivalent with a 0.64 rear). I can't wait to see it start and run ok.

The old turbo RB25 with custom exhaust manifold (T3 flange) and dump pipe will be for sale shortly.

My sex air box also had to go to make the new turbo. It will also be for sale.

looking good!! how much more power are you expecting? running more boost?

Post by **TOMSUN** » Thu Jan 03, 2013 9:33 am

The main reason for picking up this turbo is to run more boost. Was on 14psi and made 195rwhp. Looking to bump to boost to 24 to 26 psi and hoping for 280rwhp. Would like it to run a 12 on the 1/4 mile.

A cleaner, more factory looking install without the airbox sheeting, what did you use instead for the air filter shield?

I'm :o you put the P/S res back in the original location!
