Yay got the car!!

[Niss_Fan]

Picked it up on Friday. It still needs a fair bit of work (mainly mechanical) but thats half the fun. For the records it's a 94 R33 in Lambo yellow (Very nice paint job). Has a GTR body kit and custom white leather interier. All the black vinyl has been sprayed white and the dash surrounds are metalic silver. It also has the white glowing dials in the dash.

Mechanically it's got potential. Car was originally a non-turbo auto but has had a 95 series II RB25DET and 5 speed popped in. So far for mods it's got cat back nismo exhaust, monza blow off, larger injectors and a GTR pump. It runs like a dog and you can smell the fuel it is running so rich.

It's booked into MercMotorsports for tomorrow. Going to get a FMIC and PowerFC put in right away so it can be tuned to at least run nice. Will look at getting the dump pipe and boost control done soon after. Seeing the car was an auto I may grab a new diff too.

Does anyone know an auto elect who can calibrate speedos in Bris btw? Speedo is miles out due to the Man-auto conversion. Ohh will take some pics and post them.

hey niss fan mate car sound the goods get some pics up so we can see what she lloks like good luck with all the mods hope it all goes well

Ahhhh I've seen that car around my travels on the coast... Used to have a bit "COMPLICATED" sticker on it...

Nice You won't blend in, in that beast...

33 speedos can be calibrated... Not entirely sure how but there are a bunch of jumpers on the circuit board for the dash once you pull it apart... Or you could just grab a manual dash cluster?

FMIC and PowerFC sounds like the right way to go... Dump and boost next... Tick You've got it all planned out!

And then the big wing and add the other 2 doors aye strutto?

Then it will be perfect

Car is due out of the shop on Friday. The guys picked up a nice big list of other items that I needed to get done and convinced me to get most of the mods done now to save dyno time later.

I replaced alot of the pipes and belts, did full service and tune including clutch and brake fluids, The powerFC is being installed and having a custom dump made up and highflow cat connected to the nismo exhaust, FMIC is in with nice polished piping and did brake pads and had disks machined. Looks like it had 550cc injectors and does have the GTR pump so hoping I will get decent power with the stock turbo.

In saving mode now for bigger turbo and boost controller. Was going to install the in dash LCD screen and DVD player that came with the car (still in boxes) but decided on just putting a nice MP3 headunit in. WIll advertise the DVD stuff at some stage just to get rid of it.

Anyone got an idea of how many KW I should be making after all this? LOL I am just hoping that it ends up being faster than my old 180 sx.

[strutto]

Let me know what sort of DVD stuff you have... I have two 7.5inch LCD's and a DVD player ATM but I'm always interested in new bits...

As for rwkw? I'd guess around 190 - 200 on a Dyno Dynamics after the PFC gets tuned...

RACQ can calibrate any speedo, they do it for a fixed fee too, ask v8skylineman, the cop who gave him a ticket refered him to RACQ to get his calibrated when jason asked him about it.

[Niss_Fan]

Will give RACQ a call tomorrow. Guy who had it before me was called Alex. Still not sure if I should get a new diff as it still has the auto's diff in I think. Well the list of things to do is shorter but not by a great deal.
