Derek's GTR build

[derk]

the wheels are the buddyclub P1's ive had before.. and the tires are the same A048's just a bit wider

pretty much the same setup still.

285/30/18 A048 R compound DOT race tires... 60 treadwear rating hahahah.

[Oakville]

thats beautiful...the only other thing im wondering is how much they cost you? if you dont mind my asking

[derk]

they're about $300-$400/ea depending where you buy em

[derk]

MOAR!

got the new rad and the huge 4" thick trust spec-R intercooler back on today, also tucked the ballasts for the HID's in behind the bumper, and also mounted the horns inside the bumper, ultra clean and you wont even be able to tell its got HID's by just looking in the engine bay, unless you look REAL hard.. all the wiring for it is tucked and hidden aswell.



no mishimoto garbage here... (no offence to you die hard mishimoto/ebay parts fans.)

that radiator mount bracket sure does look ugly though... ill have to do something about that.

[Oakville]

I really like! One of my favourite cars on the boards, keep it up.

and again...wanna sell me your steering wheel by chance?

[derk]

no, i still dont want to sell my steering wheel yet

[Oakville]

baaah Its the only one Ive ever seen with the legit old school Nismo logo on it, sooo jealous! Oh well...another 'by chance' for you , do you have your old oem wheel still?

[derk]

EVEN MOAR UPDATES!







mostly everything is back where it should be now, still gotta get an oil catch can made, its gonna be pretty sweet! im surprised no one has done what im about to do yet for an oil catch can.. so simple, but so clean

just gotta get my Reytec back from my friend and i can fire it up! FIRST TIME IN 2 YEARS! WOOT!

ps: i've also just come to realize that my car is an HKS whore.

[kengeroo]

the carbon fibre strut bar is very chinesey...
......very good...

[derk]

haha well what can i say... gotta stick to my roots!

theres gonna be even more carbon fiber when its actually finished... but i cant put the last piece on till i put my bumper and grilled back on, and i dont want to do that till its 100% done cuz its a bitch to jack it up with the bumper on..

[Oakville]

That looks beautiful! Are you going to put the cam gear cover back on?

[derk]

yup! i still gotta tune it, gonna mess around with the cam timing on the dyno so im leaving it off till thats done

[GTR--J]

Awesome!

The engine looks perfect! What are your plans for the oil catch tank?

[derk]

thread revival?



Christmas in May!

[Phastwon]
