Bought the car in May 2006 with the following mods off a fellow SAU forum member: 18" Rays TE37s TEIN Adjustable Suspension HKS Cat Back Exhaust 3" Split dump and Front Pipe Hybrid Front Mount Intercooler Drove it for a few years just replacing maintenance items in between, Walbro high-flow fuel pump, and extreme heavy heavy duty organic clutch. Drove it stock for a while then got a Nistune tuned by Trent @ Chequered tunning, made 200rwkw: Rotors decided to give up so replaced them with the new style DBA 4000 slotted rotors with HPX pads: After a little while I noticed my oil temps where hitting 130 on just normal drives, a little while later my radiator blew up and the engine boiled over. So replaced the stock tiny radiator with a 55mm alloy radiator. Straight fit no real issues: To Keep an eye on water temps, as the stock one is useless I installed new Autogauge gauges: In the 6th year of car ownership I decided to get into Track racing, so firstly had to mount a fire extinguisher: Custom made allow bracket. Had to be sturdy to pass scurtineering at the track days First time out at Sandown, it was raining that day but my best time was a 1:47. Tyres were Ku31 front and Nitto Invo’s on the rear. Month after the next track day was at Winton, best time was a 1:49, intercooler hoses kept blowing off. So replaced them with Norma constant tension hose clamps and new silicon hoses. Also did a compression test and was 165 to 170 across all cylinders This was the result at Winton after blowing off an intercooler hose. Massive flames and burnt rear bar: New seats and harness as I was being thrown around the car on the track days: The following month was another round at Sandown this time in the dry, my best time this time was 1:33. Was pretty happy with that! Pads gave way on that day: Decided to upgrade the turbo, as it was still on the stock turbo at 12psi, and didn’t want the turbo to take out the engine on a track day, especially at a place like Winton where towing costs would be ~$1K. Following mods where done to prep the car for the next Sandown Round in Dec 2012. · Hyper gear SS2 Turbo · Manifold from Stao which had been ported for better flow · ID 1000 Injectors · 3Inch JJR bellmouth dump pipe · Cometic manifold gasket · Genuine turbo gasket kit · Inconel nuts and bolts · Scotty 3inch metal intake Dump pipe didn’t really match up to the gasket so had to open her up: Gasket was fine around the SS2 turbo: Bought a cometic intake manifold gasket listed for a R34 GT-T but didn’t fit. Seller said it was for an R33 and R34 but as you can see it wasn’t the same, never got a refund for it either lol Off to Trent @ Chequered Tuning for a tune: Car made 265rwkw with coil packs missing all over the place 19.7 psi down to 15.7 psi drop So got some Yellow jackets: Re-Tune with Trent before the manifold burnt a hole through a new turbo silicon hose: Final Tune with Trent, where I bought another new silicon house and heat wrapped it: 20psi going down to 16psi up top Car was now ready for Sandown, hoping to crack under 1:30!
