i spent hours trying to find those seats!!!! i was researching interiors, and came across a pic of a lambo with them and forgot the name. New it was tech something... - did find out in the end what they were, and saw the parts list of the same company, they make some tasty stuff.. :bunny:;):O

thought they were just lambo specific.... stunning, stunning seats....

i agree with what others have said. This is easily the best tuned GTR going around, period.

I really like shop like that doing top notch work on car.

A bit OT, but here it goes again... Another very good shop/tuner name Martin. ( funny for me because in USA lot of Martin, Eric ... )

The guy who took care of my Evo IX is also a certain Martin Musial from AMS Performnce.

As if these are all here in SA, iv only ever see on & that wasnt even up close :P

just read the whole thread, Fantastic read mate! The GTR looks stunning and those seats are making me drool!

Hope i can see this in person one day!

Edit - do you still have you standard seats too? and if so would you sell them?

Well that photo was taken at Willalls here in Adelaide & we have had 4 or 5 of them together

a number of times. Just the other day I was driving down Main North & Dave (Fungoolie) pulled

alongside at Gepps X & we had a side by side Gun Mettalic R35 cruise thru Enfield.

I think there is a bunch of them in Adelaide now, although we just lost one which got traded

in on an Aston Martin & they wholesaled the 35 to Vic. That car was an ADM & had 22000km

on it so some of the local owners are doing plenty of kays on the street.

I drove mine to work 4 days last week.

I went for a recent burn with Slip35 in these new seats & they are very comfortable & look great.

Obviously wanted something a lot softer and slower than GTR - and the Aston will deliver that in bucketloads :)

Never seen the attraction in those things, but there you go it takes all types...

Enjoy the updated pics, starting to come together now, roll cage fabrication and install starts on the 27th Jan. The original design for this car was used on the Stillen Targa Newfoundland GTR and has been reproduced here with their permission.

    • Gday, Due to not finding much up to date info on this topic I thought I'd make a thread to get peoples latest opinions/recommendations. Background info -  I've got a S1.5 R33 GTST as a fun project car, mainly for street use and occasional drag strip, apart from all the cosmetic things I'll be doing a full rebuild of the engine with forged internals. Since it'll be getting new cams (kelford) and springs to match I thought I might as well get new lifters and valves while I'm at it, the dash says 160k KMs but the engine seems pretty tired, compression measures about 130psi across all cylinders so I'd like to freshen everything up. This is where I'm tempted to just fork out the extra and go solid lifters while it's all apart, aiming for 400-450kw atw with a flex tune. Assuming all supporting mods (oiling, fuel and all bolt ons) with a lightly ported head and turbo to match (yet to make a decision possibly gtx3582r or similar from Hypergear) I've seen the Tomei kits with just the buckets getting around, Supertech sells most things - Supertech High Performance Cam Followers | Trusted Racing Cam Followers Questions -  Has anyone found the Hydraulic lifters to limit them at this power level? Is it usually found that you can just clean the stock lifters and find they work fine?  Does going solid lifters save any headaches/issues with hydraulic lifters in the future? Any recommendations on other things that will need to be replaced, I know I'll need to get the solid profile cams but can you use the same type of valves and springs/retainers and is it recommended to change the guides and stem seals?    Summary -  Basically looking for pros/cons and wanna know if I'll actually need the extra RPMs from solid lifters or it'll just be bragging rights to say it ReVs OvEr 8000 Cheers
    • Ha ha ha, this stuff they had was installing Toshiba PLCs that were made some time in the 1990s, and they were replacing GEM80 PLCs. To let those two talk (staged upgrade along a ~1.2km long building that was split into 4 sections), was a bunch of WinXP machines running Java gateways... There was no way to put something like ProfiSafe in... Most of the HMI machines were WinXP, with Java program, with a custom button board emulating a keyboard... About the only buttons in the operator stations that went direct to the PLCs was the eStop. There was some interesting design stuff in that place...
    • Stock bypass valves are good for plenty of boost.
    • Check for fuel flow out of the outlet end of the rail. Check for spark. Try to start with aerostart (or pressure can brake cleaner or similar solvent in a car) prayed in through TB. If you have fuel and you have spark and it will fire on substitute fuel, then seriously suspect that E85 sitting for ages in your fuel system has destroyed something and put it in your injectors.
    • Nissan stock oil pressure is typically about 1 bar at 1000 rpm plus about 1 bar per thousand revs on top.
