Hi Guys,

Have been in the car scene for over 15 years, starting with a 81 Pulsar, to a Honda Civic show car, to drift weapon 180sx, to a pimped s2000, to a balls to the wall 310kws Evo and finally to the GTR!! So let the build begin!

Sounds sweet but ull need a bigger exhaust than the tomei system. Will need full 4" exhaust for over 400kw

Have to agree. Tomie Ti is only 3.5inches. For your power output it will be restrictive. Is this a a streeter or mainly racing use?

If predominantly racing use do away with the cat and get more exhaust flow.

BTW nice car.

Sweet, cheers guys. Is there any 4" titanium on the market?

Also missed in the above mods will be getting the following:

Quickspool Custom High Mount Steam Pipe Manifold

50mm External Gate (Brand yet to be decided)

Adjustable Cam Gears

Tomei Baffles and Oil restrictors

N1 Oil Pump

ARP Head Studs

And a few other things as they become needed.

Pads and rotors will also be upgraded when the time comes.

I will be working on stages with this new project starting with cosmetic/suspension and wheels then working my way to the engine build.

Here is a few pics. Plates have now been changed to personalized QLD plates.

Cheers Ants, Car will be a Sunday driver/time attack. How restrictive is a highflow cat at that power range?

    • 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
