I haven't been on the forum much recently due too getting married and having too much stuff going on. So i thought i would put up a project thread to show you guys what i have been up too.
It carrys on from my reshell thread a while ago. If you want to take a look heres the link:

Haven't used the car since last year due to destroying about 4 gearbox's in a little over 1000 miles.
. So i took it off the road and left it for a year and sold a few bits on.
I Since the last time i used the car the spec has changed a fair bit. Now running:
HKS 264 cams
R34 Getrag gearbox
HKS fcon Pro with 2 step
Rota GTR 18 x 9.5 in r33 offsets
R888's
K sport 355 front brake kit.
Big thanks to Abbey Motorsport for getting me and the car back up and running. Great bunch of people and do quality work :thumbsup:
Mark had the car on the dyno for a day and the most it came out with was 535 hub bhp at 1.6 bar. Not bad for a 2 year old engine i built in my garden on stock rods and an oil pump that eat a bearing. lol Car could make more if pushed harder but wheres the point in destroying it. Cant afford to go any further anyway.
Car is still running stock:
Intercooler
Intercooler pipe work
Fuel rail and reg
Rods
Oil pump
Head
Fuel system bar an Tomei in tank pump.
So not bad at all i think
Aim is to finally get a 10 sec 1/4 mile run in. So far my best is 11.1 at 133 mph with shocking 60fts of 1.72 due to the big laggy turbo.
Car we still be full weight and be driven too and from the drag strip even if it breaks :chuckle:
Also want to get a few track days out of it next year.
Few pics of it from today
Had to roll the arches to get the wheels to stop rubbing but a good hammer and a heat gun done the trick. lol
Few annoying things left to do. As the car has been sitting for a year all the suspension has gone really squeaky so i will will rebuild each corner and give it all a lick of pint to future proof it.
I have a nasty vibration from either the prop or rear of car when on boost so that will be the first thing to look into
And removed the shocking greddy t78 manifold to get it fixed for the 5th time
