then i ended up tuning the nuts off it to a stage where it sat at 350 fwhp and shat itself,
also had a friend crash the car too so needed some tlc on the bodywork, not much but enough to get things rolling :D

turned out like this:

so with the choice of counting my losses and walking away/rebuilding it at a high cost/ conversion the choice was easy :D

drop it in why dont ya :D

but it looked shabby so done a bit of a dress up on it :D

i now have hand made full carbon B-pillars thannks to DOA steve at carbon asthectics, and a set or R34 GTT front seats, dropped off the GTR rocker covers, timing belt cover and coilpack cover to get powder coated too,

also ordered an elitetech modified twinturbo pipe for better airflow and ive gotten a pair of HKS polished intercooler pipes.

i dropped the car off AGAIN for more bits too, but this time i decided (after alot of consideration) on TRACKDAY PERFORMANCE in rathnew,

i got an email a couple of days after dropping the car off telling me that the price of parts just to repair the gearbox from the whining i was complaining about was around €1000 and it was recommended that i try find a second hand box, so a couple of calls later i found one with martin sweeney hotmetal.

had the car out on track at japfest have to say it pulls nicely now, but still has to go back into TDP for the gearbox to go in and a GTR rear diff, as there wasnt enough time to get them done before the track day.

i did however get to test out the map that was put on the HKS F-CON PRO V gold and also test out the brake upgrade i recieved .

R33 GTR front brembos (discs and calipers) waiting on pagid pads to go in too as robbie didnt want me on track with them not bed in right
R34 GTR rear brembos (same as above)

car now has 340bhp rwhp @0.9 bar
and likes to pull in every gear too (even though it doesnt like to go into gear lol)

thanks to robbie in TDP for taking the time to work on the car, and hopefully it wont be in too long this time getting the rest finished off although i do want some new handling mods but the money isnt there..... hmmm

i got bored with the wheels,
so decided to pull then off and sell them

new wheels
