Wow..VERY nice work!!

Just a quick question- having recently got a line of defects in my close to stock 33, how the hell do you avoid police attention in something as awesome as that??? Surely its a problem for you especially with those plates??

havent been pulled up yet .... exept once buy the pig on a bike on his way home tried to tell me he was trained in estimating speeds after i laughed at him he opened his wallet and coins fell down the side of my car ... thats police hospitality 4 ya .... i then proceded to argue how he could estimate my speed when he was a kilometre away and on a road bike ... after he told me the good old, i am in a good mood tonight so i will lwt u go .. not i dont have a radar and my wifes at home probably with another man so i cant stay and argue routine he then called me a hoon i said to him in a closing sentence ..... i am an enthousiast does that make me a criminal ......he then replied the number plates leave much to the imaginationand away he went.....

god bless him for just doing his job......

Hmm...maybe its reverse pyscology then, get the most modified car around, with plates that say "pull me over, i street race" ( :lol: not that i'm saying you do :) ) and they stay off your back.. interesting :)

Guess you've been lucky..or i've been unlucky...or a combination of both :P

Anyways back to topic - awesome car. 'nuff said B)

thats before i put 19k into the engine finished it a month ago, 13sec out of the stock engine i had in it before the rebuild and running 19inch wheeles that day who wouldnt do a 13 now thats history... but thanks for reminding me...

Plans on a brake upgrade at any time at all perhaps? :lol:

That was the first thing i did when i got my car, slotted dba 4000 n 'track' pads

Mate awesome car, wat mod plates u have to get also wat engineers certificates u got?

no mod plates or engineer certificates but yea i had hopes of a 10 sec at jambo but of coarse just when you think everythings ok the gearbox lockes up and when it did go i couldnt get second so with thAT in mind i bought a 6 speed dog box going in this week i am just waiting for the other wastegate and turbo from jap land so soon it will be twin turbo tdo625g and twin 48mm trust external wastegates with screemer pipes its gonna be loud as fu*k...i want to put a 4 inch straight through exaust..

i understand y people say how come so much money on a gtst but once i start building somthing i can stop ... but year i no i need the big brakes soon .....

I need a lift back from Willowbank when I destroy my box so you should come out. I can't be seen in anything that does slower than a 12 now. It's an image thing.

BTW, nice car....I am kinda the same....the only thing that stops me from spending more money on mine is the lact of it. I pretty much did what I could afford the the engine internals but I would have liked to do some other crap. At the end of the day I will be happy if I do an 11 on an engine I built.

I also admire your large wallet with the worn out edges.

    • 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.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
