    Do it at home build!

    I've started my build about 3 months ago,looking to build a single turbo Gtr that will see some street and strip.The engines internals were not changed,a metal 1.2mm head gasket was put in though.I'm also changing some of the appearance of the car aswell.Here's some pictures of the progress up to know.Not much still waiting on most parts to come in.What i'm expecting for the outcome is to hit or come near to 500whp for this year.Next year the motor will be fitted with forged internals and the head will be worked on.

    Here's the Trust gracer I bough from Martin..needs a little work

    Hood and bumper fitted just to get a feel how it looks


    Removed the turbo set up,a/c,and power steering.

    Received My 4.5" thick intercooler and had to fab up some bracked and also cut out a part of the re bar for the intercooler.

    And the turbo!Thanks to Ryan from Velocity Racing performance for this turbo.He made 602rwhp on this turbo at 21psi with a stock motor and basic fuel system.If you need a great deal on a turbo , he has a variety of turbos from his supplier Comp turbos.They carry the new tripple ball bearings aswell.

    Thats all for the parts up to now.
    I will be updating as soon as I receive more parts in and also when the build really starts.

    Damn well the reason i Did remove was beacause when I was removing the A/c I damaged some Pw lines and I knew it would be a hassle to find them again so i removed it.Mcfly uses his gtr with 295 all around daily so i've heard with no PS.

    3.5" exhaust that me and a buddy made.
    Its a 3.5" straight pipe to a 4" magnaflow race series mufler

    Sorry guys didn't have a camera when we were fabricating it:S
    Heres final product on the car.I'll remove it later to take some full exhaust pictures.

    update

    Testing to see how everything fits.Turbo looks alot smaller then I though next to the engine and the compressor oulet is only 4mm away from hitting the tower bar.Trying to sort ou the i/c piping.
