I started off with a bog stock N15 SSS, with a full service history, previously 2 female drivers. Still being a red P plater at the time image was fairly important (LOL) Here's a picture of what it looked like the day i picked it up: So.. Id had the car about 6 months and i decided to start looking for some rims and some lowered springs, I decided on a set of Osaka Zeus wheels 17x7 +42 offset, very conservative, your typical Bob Jane T Mart wheels, they did the job. Then a week or 2 later i purchased some Pedders Sports Ryda lowered springs and brand new KYB shocks. This was a huge mistake, the ride was horrible, but those springs stayed on the car for a while. I started getting a bit curious as to how much more power and exhaust would give me, (i have a fair few other mates with Pulsars) not planning to do any other "engine modifications" and wanting to keep noise to a minimum i decided to go for a full 2" mandrel bent system from Liverpool Exhaust. ROAD TRIP!! They did an awesome job on the exhaust, got it dynoed at a Volkswagon Dyno Day (a few other mates love their VW's) just after i got it done and it pulled a healthy 93kw atw. I was stoked. I wanted the pulsar to handle again, so i bought and installed a Whiteline Adjustable Swaybar. I have to admit, 99% of people on the forum recommend these, and they are all right, the handling difference was noticable straight away. Alot more turn in, alot less body roll, all round just a really great modification. But then I started getting bored yet again, I was notified by Dean, a mate of mine that a member on this forum was selling a pair of Tomei Poncams and tomei cam gears. Those cams where mine Once the cams arrived Dean and myself couldn't wait to get them bolted in, they were in in no time at all, both coming from mechanical backgrounds. The cams were awesome fun! But then i just wanted more again... To amend the ride quality and enhance the handling of my little pulsar i decided to purchase a set of BC BR Coilovers from JustJap, these were easy to install, very straight forward and the ride quality was instantly transformed, alot smoother than lowered springs and KYB shocks, thats for sure. I ended up purchasing a 1.5 way Nismo LSD from GC Corp, and an SR20VE from an importer in Brisbane. While i was waiting for the engine to arrive i was doing as much research as i could about the engine conversion and stumbled across a guy selling a SR20DE ECU with a Nistune board, so i bought that. There was also a Greddy MSS on Ebay, knowing how rare they are i snapped it straight up. The engine arrived and there was alot of excitement, due to lack of space at my house i ended up doing it at another forum member/mates place the conversion went smoothly thanks to Dean for the assistance. So the engine was finally in, wired up and running. A few weeks later Dean had bought another forum members old DET pod box, i borrowed it off him and got one of my sheety mates to knock one up out of 3mm aluminium, it looks great. Then i decided to make up a 3" CAI for the VE, just to help it breathe a bit more. Being able to make aluminium stick with a TIG welder certainly made it a fair bit easier With the intake done the next obvious thing was to do something about the exhaust. With the AUD being reasonably high I jumped onto the Summit Racing website and ordered a new 200 cell highflow cat, 1x 16" resinator and a rear muffler, all magnaflow, all stainless steel. And off i went to Liverpool Exhaust again, being impressed by their workmanship last time. Yet again they did an amazing job. A short while after the engine was in, i had the rear main start leaking. Yes it was replaced when i did the conversion. So another box out job, whilst the box was out i installed a 4.1kg PAR flywheel and Exedy Ceramic button clutch. What a difference! About 12 months went by and i was content with how the car was going, then i got the itch for more power. Time for the N1 cams! With the N1 cams and Tomei cam gears sourced and ordered i played the waiting game, but not for long. In the mean time i decided that i wanted to do a hydraulic clutch conversion and also upgrade the brakes to R33 GTST items. At the time i was looking at hydraulic clutches a full kit came up for sale in Newcastle! Talk about timing. So with that snapped up all i had to do was get the brakes sorted. This didnt take long, with rotors ordered, calipers bought and rebuilt and hubs bought, redrilled and new bearings installed and new cams and cam gears in my shed i was ready to get to work. The end result... an awesome dailey driver/track hack. After i got the car tuned it felt ALOT quicker, it was running very very rich in the top end, which Scott sorted out for me.

Hi all, Doing a garage cleanout and hoping to get these out of here before Christmas rolls around. All items are used and prices are negotiable if you can pick them up asap! 1. Varrstoen ES2 Wheels 18x8.5 ET +15 5 x 114.3 2 wheels come in Bridgestone Potenza RE050A 225/45/R18 2 wheels come in Rotalla Radial F106 225/40/R18 Came with my R33 and then came off not too long afterwards. Slight gutter rash on the wheels but still plenty of tread left in all four tyres. Mismatched sizes between the two sets so change either of the two and you have some 18s ready to go. Attached pic shows how flush they sat. $800 2. R33 Koni Shocks and Lowered King Springs Rears are shot, fronts are still in good condition. Would suit someone after that low look and doesn’t mind having any dampening in the rear. $100 3. Nismo 2.5” Muffler From memory it has a 5” outlet tip. Originally came off a R34 GTT with a controllable valve to adjust the loudness of the muffler. Never saw or heard it work and bought as a replacement the intention of custom piping to fit it. $50 4. N15 Lucino Grill Plastidipped black with a red spray can job underneath. Broken lower LHS tab but still fits fine. Could do with a respray and refresh of the Lucino badge too. $50 5. N15 Fog Lights and Switch Bought from the wreckers but never got to install them. Comes with the inside fog light switch. Wiring is a simple job to do and install. No screw covers for the front. Good condition, has a few extra holes drilled from being mounted on a LX front bumper. $150 6. S15 Standard Shocks Apparently came off a car with 90k kms. One front strut has the spring removed but will come with the sale. Also have two rear shocks from a S14 with cut springs, one removed again but still included. Take them all. $50 Located in Beverly Hills. Due to my working hours I cannot do any postage so everything is pick up only. Inspection and pick up times after 6pm most days. Please contact me via PM or SMS on 0431 317 297 for any questions and to arrange an inspection/pick up. Cheers. Felix
