Cool, Just been rethinking my stratergy tis all. Want to buy a house soonish so was thinking that maybe i should just get a GTS-T and get an R later on

Ahh I see GTRs do tend to be money pits

andy's car is for sale...

Indeed it is. And seriously it is in very good knick especially in the mechanical department! Except for the clutch wich we will have to fix this weekend!

Yeah thats why i asked for a pic.

Just not sure about the whole wine red thing tis all

when it is a all brown and crappy uncared for colour it is really gross, but if the paint is in good nick it is actually a really nice colour

Yeah and seeing as how it may need a rebuild after purchase, plus the whole insurance thing just cause its a R, would be better off waiting till i get the house and by then maybe get a 34......big Maybe but.

Does it have many after market bits? if any?

what clutch you putting in it?

It has turbo back exhaust, HKS intercooler, 18 inch wheels, Ummm some random sterio wich I am thinking about replacing, front and rear strut braces, and it will come with an uninstalled AVCR, It also has a GTR Grill and wing

The clutch going in is an exedy HD

Yeah but i have also seen so many of them its not funny

Down here there isnt that many? White and black are by far the most common, closely followed by silver

You ever had it compression tested?

So a bigger turbo injectors and power FC and it would be sweet

You aren't the only one that's washed her you know :D We used to take extremely good care of her, but she was stored in a boat shed for 6 months and was only used for emergencies.

When she's clean, she truly is an exceptional looking machine. The paint is so clear and vibrant still, it sometimes amazes me.

Nah never compression tested but that can be arranged, But I wouldnt expect any problems, it has been on stock boost its whole life

I would buy suspension first...then a power FC and see how you go with that! It is already alot faster than the R31 :D

That wouldnt be hard, i alost reckon i could run faster than it at the moment.

Yeah just looked at the pick that Karen ut up......Praise the raised!!!!!

I dont want it to be too stupid, if it runs mid to low 12 eventually ill be happy

compression test aye :) (ask again tomorrow hehe)

AND GET A DIFFERENT MUFFLER...the one on there now sounds soooo ghey! :)

but yes, suspension, brakes (rotors, pads, fluids & brake stopper) & FC will make it damn quick...then go get bigger turbo, fuel pump & injectors later

That wouldnt be hard, i alost reckon i could run faster than it at the moment.

a mid 12 you could do with one of Slides turbos they cost about $950 and you can sell the turbo already on the car

So power FC and Slide turbo...low 12s becomes a bit harder

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
