Project "Mail Order Bride"

[0piston]

Might as well start a project page, I've done a lot of things to her since I bought it and thought it would be a good idea documenting the trials and tribulations of owning a GT-R. And PS as the title suggests she is taking me for all my money too

When I first bought her.

Thanks man, took me awhile to find but I had some lmgt4 shipped with the car.

Thank you for taking off all of those hideous decals!

Looks fantastic Joe! I thought you had TE37's on it, but the LMGT4's look amazing! Did the spec of that car change too? Post it up~

[0piston]

Decals were the first thing to go LOL

Thanks, I've put up a current spec list...over the past 3 weeks lots of elbow grease, put in the fuel rail, hooking up the gauges and wideband to the datalogit etc..

I went to Racing Greed to get her dynotuned, but it turned out to be futile because im breaking up at over 1 bar. I have an old set of coils that I swapped out, but I'm afraid those are done too. So I have some newer coils, ignition harness and colder plugs coming... ah the joys of tuning... It did make 280hp and 280ft/lbs at a 1 bar run with misfiring so I'm hoping for good things to come.

[The Stig]

Specs sound great Joe, and I'm sure all those gremlins will work themselves out. Keep us posted.

I'm really bad for updating the internet with my car projects--lot more parts/work.., but my baby is for sale if anyone is interested. I never thought I would ever sell her and id just keep her forever but it will be in the for sale section soon if anyone is interested. I'll take more pics tonight.

Cheers, Joe
