GTR badges
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k3...17030150_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/k3...t/IMG_1775.jpg
next was a subtle mod with the dash lights
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k3...t/IMG_1753.jpghttp://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k3...t/IMG_1754.jpg
after that i got another subtle mod, smoked side repeaters
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k3...t/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/k3...1042008029.jpg
next was a spur of the moment set of wheels
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...r/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/k3...r/IMG_2256.jpg
then in goes the walbro 255 pump
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k3...h/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/k3...t/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/k3...t/IMG_0344.jpg
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k3...t/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/k3...oject/01-1.jpg
on with an apex performance FMIC
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k3...oject/02-1.jpg
and japspeed HICAS lockout bar
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k3...2062008049.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/k3...t/Image024.jpg
then purchase of a nismo short shifter and nismo braided clutch line

paint and prep
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k3...6072008066.jpg
out with the old series 1 SSQV and in with a black edition series 2
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k3...8082008074.jpg
on with some more carbon
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k3...s/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/os...rclutchkit.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/k3...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
