So i had the car up for a sale for a while and had a few viewers all who were disappointed with the paint work and I don't blame them because what was supposed to be a top notch job turned into another nightmare!! Reactions, blisters, runs, orange peel, you name it the car has it, none of which shows up in pictures so the man thinks he's done a great job altogether and doesn't want anything to do with the car now and won't listen to the fact the job was completely shite!

But anyways respray no.3 is coming next year all going well, but first i wanna get some more power out if the car and enjoy it a little bit.
So the plan is...
Cosworth steel headgasket
Brian Crower Valve springs
Tomei poncams
Tomei rocker arm stoppers
Get some head work done in an engine rebuild shop

Then onto the bolts on's which will include...
Walboro 255 fuel pump
Sard 550cc injectors
Z32 afm with HPI filter and alloy intake/suction pipe
Nistune or power fc (looking like it's gonna be a nistune)
Turbo is looking like either a hks gt-ss or a Garrett gt2860r... Opinions welcome on turbo selection?

I'm also replacing the top and rear gearbox seals
Fitting an alloy rad and electric fans setup
Fitting a greddy profec s boost controller
Changing fluids also.

Alot of this work is taking place at Petkos (Pepsterx) as I'm away in Canada/America on a work trip.

Good to see you are getting the paint sorted,, like the whole look of this car and colour,, finish was letting it down just,,

[derek89]

Yeah I'll be sorting it after I do the power upgrades and get it mapped. Thinking about a full bn blister kit and then re paint whole car too obviously

Don't know what colour to go with yet, it'll be well into next year when i start thinking about painting and colours all i know for sure now is the power upgrades are being done and i have most of the parts got already. Just need advice on a turbo if anyone can help..
Didn't realise it's this hard to get a good painter and what are the chances of getting messed around twice :/
