i'll swap you...

Hey its nice...but are you mad? Your car is mint in every way, with plenty of hardcore parts, power, brakes, suspension and body. You both have immaculate cars, but your car is Aus delivered and has so many good parts to have a hand feed over.

That surely is an epic build. I love everything about this car exactly what id want from a gtr. I hope to do one of these builds some day :P Awesome car mate. What kind of power is it making?

hi guys, well a little update with some sad and happy news. the car is now sold ;) but on the bright side it's going to a good friend of mine who I know will give it a great home. I'll miss the little fella, but I'm so pleased it's going to someone I know. ;)

haha, you old cynic you!

for the record I didn't sell the car through the thread, or even through the forum at all. The guy who bought it is now even a member here that I know of. It was not meant to be an ad. just some people on here who knew about the car encouraged me to post something up about it as it's a little bit different and I held off until the car was finished. and then when it was finished that week my new crate motor arrived for the other GTR, so it was almost time to let this one go..... etc etc you know how it goes.

Just pullin ya leg for shits and giggles bud. Damn nice job. :P

haha, it's ok mate. :(

there will be one more update though. before it goes to it's new home I will be getting it given a more agressive tune, and some boost, and some cam gear adjustment. I will be pissed if it doesn't break 300rwkw and silently dissapointed if it doesn't break 325rwkw. I will be happy with anything over 325rwkw. should do it easy on around 20pound. and hopefully around 290 or so on 1 bar for low boost setting.

my guess is it will be around 330-340rwkw at 20psi and around 300 at 14psi. I would attempt a backflip if it gets to 350rwkw.... everyone should be handy to witness that one...

haha, I have heard he is also smarter than einstein, hung like a malee bull and far better looking than brad pitt....

folks, mean irish. the illusive new owner.

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
