Hey people this is my first 31, picked it up mid 09 and its in a bit of a sad state not sure if any of you know the car and could tell me more bout it, I swapped it for my Hi-lux with a lad in ballina. before i got it, it sat on 18's had gauges across the dash with wrx bucket seats installed.
Current specs are:-
* Silver top RB20DET (engineered)
* 5sp (not sure what its off)
* Microtech LT-10S, running out of the box tune needs full cold start tune, Runs alright once warmed up
* 3" Exhaust off the dump pipe (bigger cat I think)
* Silo front seats
* Import dash/cluster & centre console (temp & fuel don't work properly, speedo out 10 -15k's)
* Boost Tap
* Stock turbo currently fitting a rb25 turbo
* SMIC
* Cheap lookin Turbo timer
* Standard diff :eek4:
money is a bit of an issue atm (hence in long term project forum) so my first priority is to get it back on the road should be achievable by start of Feb.
The old owner had the boost set too high and I had no boost gauge so it threw the wheel off the exhaust side of the standard turbo (god knows where it went lol (see pic)) recently purchased an RB25 turbo just chasing the coolant lines/bolts because the bolts in the RB20 turbo were the wrong size.
currently getting the tail shaft rebuilt will be in this week sometime, the centre bearing was flogged out and the drive line place wouldn't just replace just the centre bearing they wanted to fully rebuild & balance it so I just got it done.
She has a bit of rust that is in need of repair for rego (see pics) hoping to eventually get a cleaner S3 wagon as a project base before I go too far with it but need to get this on the road first. have lined up a pair of guards just need some paint and cut a bit out of the tail gate and behind both guards, fit a pair of tyres also have some slotted rotors coming.
have bought a boost gauge just got to fit it
I'm doing all the work myself don't know anyone that knows much about what I'm doing so I'm on my own, so if anyone can give me any pointers would be much appreciated
