Very Happy Indeed

He has lots of threaded tabs built into this that bolt to mounting points he built onto the car - this thing wont be coming off

cheers stevo - really appreciate that comin from a man thats seen a lot of the ones in the land :)

Well A LOT of work went into the car this past few weeks - i am beyond thankful to Martycturbo and ProFit Kits for all the help - car exceeded any expectation i had in mind when i started

Il let the pics do the talking

This is sick.

What diffuser is that ?

suppose i may keep this all together

My car changes more than my clothes - a few detailed pictures of the latest Rendition

I really want to say a massive thanks to Martin Coyle who did the paint and Paul Green at Profit kits for making up the custom lip kit and difusers

Any lines you see in the paint work is a reflection of the badly painted walls either side or the telegraph line over head lol

I could not be happier with the paint - looks constantly wet and slick - excellent job

Custom front lip made up by Paul at Profit kits to match the lines of the front Kouki splitter - Canards at either side are also removable as they are screwed into countersunk threaded holes that sit flush in the bumper

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...psnvdfcgux.jpg


The above splitter kit was painted in a plastic based paint to give it an OEM factory look which i think breaks up the car a bit. Also painted the standard NISSAN badge matte black to tie it into the mean evil agressive look i was going for.


Removed the tray under the DMAX bonnet to let more heat out and its nice looking in and seeing some of the Mechanicals

The fins at the top of the DMAX also got the same Plastic paint treatment as the splitters

The TE37s were refurbished from white to a pretty damn close bronze to the real thing. Genuine stickers were put on then to finish them off. These wheels look a lot darker in the metal than i can get on the pictures for some reason. Also had Paul make up little pieces to put into the wings and then counter sink some Genuine NISMO badges into them - Wee shout to the new GT86 that has the badges in the wings - just a wee idea to modernise the look of the car a little bit

Finally FINALLY got my callipers painted - went for some purple on those also

Below is some pictures of the sideskirt extensions and rear difuser that Paul made up also

Moving onto the cockpit - everythings functional but still a nice and comfortable place to be

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...pszivgfxia.jpg


Added some new Origin Carbon Doorcards and screwed the pockets and speakers off the original doors to make the carbon ones look a bit more factory

That view you never get tired of sitting behind pop - up lights

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...pscadqioc3.jpg

Everything nicely put in and handy to get at

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...ps6vzqeuzt.jpg

Rediculous how much i love my KAZAMA gear knob

http://i633.photobucket.com/albums/u...pszvtjqkjh.jpg

Digi Clocks also pretty damn cool - these do tend to flicker from time to time because of a loose wire but i hate taking them out so il live with it for a while longer yet

Some with the lights up - the Blue tinted RAYBRIGS look pretty damn cool along with the dark paint

Theres a few small bits and pieces yet to do like paint my wiper arms and stuff but the car is driving like a dream and looking better than i ever hoped it would.

Anyway all Comments and Criticism welcome - hope you enjoyed my take on a 180

Thanks
Matt

Nice :cool:

HOLY FUCK - AN UPDATE :O

been quite a while since i put anything up on here but a lot has happened - last September i spun a bearing on the crank - car was taken off the road and sent down to the main man - Petko to do his thing

Il let the pictures do the talking

https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...62&oe=5776BC37

Car also recieved 480cc spec R injectors, z32 AFM and a Z32 fuel filter


It was then taken down to Stiv at MD Tuning and was mapped on a nistune

https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...d4&oe=578A3CBD

On a standard t25 turbo the car made 248bhp with 307 torque at 1.2 bar

The actuator on the t25 was shot so as soon as the car hit 1.2bar it fell off to about 0.8/0.9 bar

i bought a HKS adjustable actuator since - i could imagine it being over the 250bhp now that the car holds the 1.2 bar through the revs

https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...f7&oe=57873A95

I kno 248bhp doesnt sound impressive but this car just needs to be driven to be believed - im over the moon with it as is at the minute - soo much response, its just a seriously fun car to drive - you can really push it and you have boost there as soon as you touch the pedal.

i just want to give a massive thanks to Petko for everything he did, an absolute Gent and his work is TOP QUALITY and i am rediculously fussy about who i let near my car

Also a big shout out to STIV who did an amazing job mapping the car for how i wanted it to drive

Next year i do plan on upgrading the turbo but for right now im over the moon

Love this car! Can't wait to get my Kouki kit on!
