Hi guys,

Some of you may have seen my recent thread about my car being written off. Well today I picked up its replacement

Firstly here is the old beast from day 1 to finish:

And here is the new beast:

On the forecourt:

Didn't take you long to change all that.

What age and mileage is on the black one then?

 

[Fantom]

Its an 03 plate, and only 22400 miles
Got to get it serviced shortly, mot, air con recharged, probably get the cam belt done for peace of mind too.
Only cost me £300 extra on top of the settlement I got from the silver one.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Not a bad little deal then.

'overnight parts from Japan'?

 

[Fantom]

Unfortunately not. It's smoking quite bad so being taken apart. Possibly piston rings. The joys of running 400bhp.

The skyline has had a few mods
Power Fc mapped by engine advantages
Turbo was rebuilt with steel internals at Essex turbos
Z32 maf sensor
FMIC
decat exhaust
fuel pump & regulator
550cc injectors
Exedy clutch & flywheel. Standard clutch broke during mapping!
1.1 bar
399.4 bhp

However, my bro had been collecting bits so soon it will have a new plenum, new manifold, new downpipe, forged pistons, metal head gasket.
Not sure how much extra power there will be but he should be able to run a bit more boost.
