well seen as i dont have one of these up here we go,

R33
when i got it:
cusco coilovers
17"buddyclub P1's
japspeed cat back exhaust
ractive air filter
GTR badges

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k319/mick_rockstar/silver%20project/892643_20080117030150_1.jpg

first mod remove GTR badges: stopped to get petrol about 10 mins away from where i got it (Roscommon) and pulled them off there

then half way home i rang and booked in for some tints and drove straight there
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k319/mick_rockstar/silver%20project/IMG_1775.jpg
next was a subtle mod with the dash lights
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k319/mick_rockstar/silver%20project/IMG_1753.jpghttp://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k319/mick_rockstar/silver%20project/IMG_1754.jpg
after that i got another subtle mod, smoked side repeaters
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k319/mick_rockstar/silver%20project/image002.jpg
... and then i started on the power mods with
apexi power intake/avcr/power fc

and a little bit of engine dressing
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k319/mick_rockstar/silver%20project/11042008029.jpg

next was a spur of the moment set of wheels
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r71/Robx1r/IMG_2231.jpg

i soon noticed the gtr spoiler was in bits so i bought another one from knight-racer with a carbon blade
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k319/mick_rockstar/silver/IMG_2256.jpg
then in goes the walbro 255 pump
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k319/mick_rockstar/fuel%20pump%20walkthrough/IMG_0169.jpg

then i ended up going to silverstone at the last min after ordering a few goodies which turned up while i was away
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k319/mick_rockstar/silver%20project/IMG_2851.jpg
but the body got a little damage on it while away thanks to a friend of mine but it was only bodywork so not too bad
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k319/mick_rockstar/silver%20project/IMG_0344.jpg
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k319/mick_rockstar/silver%20project/IMG_0342.jpg

this is where the body mods came from, and seen as i wasnt paying for them i went a little mad, up on stilts and stripped for some overhauling
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k319/mick_rockstar/silver%20project/01-1.jpg

on with an apex performance FMIC
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k319/mick_rockstar/silver%20project/02-1.jpg
and japspeed HICAS lockout bar
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k319/mick_rockstar/silver%20project/22062008049.jpg

got it a top secret front bumper (as nowhere at the time would supply me with a do-luck) some wide vented front wings, 400r rear arches, jun side skirts and jun rear spats
test fit
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k319/mick_rockstar/silver%20project/Image024.jpg

then purchase of a nismo short shifter and nismo braided clutch line

paint and prep
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k319/mick_rockstar/silver%20project/26072008066.jpg

out with the old series 1 SSQV and in with a black edition series 2
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k319/mick_rockstar/silver%20project/18082008074.jpg

on with some more carbon
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k319/mick_rockstar/tats/IMG_5583.jpg

the first finish of the body work in BMW AO7/8
http://i39.tinypic.com/2w7h7jm.jpg

then had a shithole map it and dropped the bottom end within days.
so decision time.... rebuild or conversion...

on with an apexi N1 catback, japspeed decat, and apexi GT spec downpipes
http://i41.tinypic.com/pi12.jpg

out comes the RB25
http://i41.tinypic.com/30kzgd0.jpg

new tomei 1.5 steel headgasket going onto the rb26
http://i44.tinypic.com/mi2gcn.jpg

RB26DETT in and mapped
http://i39.tinypic.com/2qa5ms6.jpg

but due to not being happy with the map or the crowd i was dealing with i took it to the ever capable TDP and put in a HKS f-con pro-v gold and had it mapped there

403bhp @ 0.9 bar and smooth as fook.... well it was till the clutch decided to shit itself after a few weeks, so in with an OS Giken twin plate with lightweight flywheel
http://justjap.com/store/images/P/osgikenstrclutchkit.jpg

so happy with the power and the smoothness i took to other mods with R33 GTR front black brembos, and R34 gtr rear gold brembos new rota grids in titanium and a do-luck bumper from a friend in cork who done a nice deal on it with mine :D along with a GTR rear diff and shafts
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k319/mick_rockstar/1.jpg

and not to everyones taste and still not mine but its on so it can stay on till i decide to change it up again a JDL roof spoiler.

and she now looks like this
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k319/mick_rockstar/silver/now/IMG_0432.jpg

some suspension upgrades (which needs setting up at the min)
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k319/mick_rockstar/silver%20project/image01.jpg

bonnet dampers
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k319/mick_rockstar/silver%20project/image02.jpg

carbon switches
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k319/mick_rockstar/silver%20project/image06.jpg

GTR seats (which have now been changed for recaros, still need to take pics of them)
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k319/mick_rockstar/silver%20project/image07.jpg

deep dish steering wheel in too
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k319/mick_rockstar/silver%20project/001.jpg

and some flocking
http://photos4.media.pix.ie/B7/81/B7815306EAB444C5B991772E11C282FD-0000328041-0001984311-00640L-B1905C94CDB04C2988DE9ABABF0775F5.jpg

SO THATS IT FOR NOW, its for sale too, but not gettin any decent offers, so it it doesnt sell or even get a decent offer by mid jan she'll be getting changed up a bit as im starting to go off the looks...

Some amount of money and bits gone into the car, fair play. Now go drift it some more and enjoy it. Then you smash bits, change the looks.

Definitely on the right track anyway Mick. That spoiler is taaaasty! Personally, if it was my own car, my next step would be the sideskirts and roof spoiler. Theres just too much vents and stuff for my liking going on with the car. But a subtler straightish sideskirt without vents would just leave the front very in your face........and that little thing could do wonders for it. Just a quick thought though!

dont tink the gold doing anyting
there noting there to tight it in with anyting
ya changen the colour of it?

barnes not takn them off ya :cool::cool:

nah said hes broke, not going to paint the wheels, just have them on really to keep the car off the jacks till they sell, if they dont ill try part ex them towards something i want, bound to be someone lookin for 18's

car should be going red, but it wont be for about a year if not more, its not really priority at the min, just get it mapped up and set up then get little bits here and there to change it up then spray it up last as itll be getting a fair bit of use when i can through the year :cool: so not too bothered about the body for now. :eek:

picked the wheels up off dave there last week, just need some rubber for them, its more time than anything to get them.

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k319/mick_rockstar/3319aa01.jpg

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k319/mick_rockstar/327b5685.jpg

also still need to fit the 2860-5 tubbs i have sitting there for it, and also a full carbon cooling panel to replace the in your face chrome one thats on it at the moment....

sourced the bumper i want too, just trying to haggle a bit on the price and all should be near well

mick-skyline

22-06-11, 00:40

been a bit since i updated this, not much has happened really, fitted the turbos, and now need to sort some small details, i think the actuators might be knackered, but havent had the time to check them yet.
got some rubber on the tyres, and also got some carbon wind-deflectors too, along with the VX style bumper i was after which needs fitting and spraying.

and thats about it really...
