Purple GT-R monster....mucho progress

**Rixskyline** · 04-09-2008, 01:35 AM

So Im new around here but I have had my GT-R in the states now for about a year now.

when I bought my GT-R

I brought it home and had it painted and fixed up a bit...I dig tha purple

Ill post more later...a serious engine build is underway and I have catching up to do...

So after the paint and the repairs I ended up buying a few parts, like HKS turbo upgrades (2540rBB), GReddy cams and intake plenum, Mines ecu, upgraded FMIC (my oem became purple), HKS timing belt and I cleaned the bay and painted the covers the same purple as the car......this is the photos the day I killed it......oil pump got me.....

Two weeks before the oil pump went the car dynoed 410awhp @13.5 psi and I was terrorizing the local import scene where guys never seen a car like this. I was told it was cute, and asked if it came from a cracker jack box...its a shame he had a stock cobra......still it died and apart it goes.

Head block and all off to the machine shop, rebuild the whole thing with new aftermarket everything......I ordered a heap of parts.

Photos from yesterday, the weather here has been sucky so the pictures arent so great....

great stuff!

Love the color too, stands out for sure.

Oh, use an OEM filter over fram garbage, Fram have terrible quality control. Its a cheap part, to cheap out on, and very important so at least use OEM filters.
