Just found some old photos of my 2 GTR's
One I sold in 2008 and I dont know why!!!!!
37000 miles on clock and was immaculate!!!!
Older GTR, which was my track machine! Full of Nismo suspension goodies and 425BHP
And my old 300ZX TT
Oh I wish I had those cars now!!

Sunny Turbo......well thats a rare beast!!!! Aye Nissans do rot....especially the rear 1/4 which my first R32 had.
TBH even though I miss them the Cupra R is still a hoot.
My cupra is in a very different league, performance and build quality wise, but I owned that when turbo cars were a bit of a novelty and it was quick. Loved the look on the faces of gti, gte drivers's faces when they could not keep up with the little jap crap. Weekends were spent at illegal race meets, good times those.
I remember those days and I remember the cars. Friend had a Nova GTe and the other a 205 Gti 1.9. Racing other cars on industrial estates.
Then someone came with a 1993 Impreza Turbo and it destroyed everything. And that was it for me. Jap fever set in.
Sounds similar to my experience, first car a mk2 escort 1600 sport running a newly rebuilt motor with a set of delortos 45's and performance exhaust and mani and I was DA MAN!!! Along came a newly released Fiat uno turbo and it felt like I was in reverse. I had to have that.
Cleaned her up and got some decent shots. Also managed to fit the fpg light covers so front bumper looks finished. Will post some photos later.
Are these 4 bar pressure regulators worth the money?

Removed mid section of zaust so I can eliminate the resonator (baffle) and get a bit more noise.
Going to order the above then its off to be remapped.

Both 3 inch. Hopefully getting my resonated box back tomorrow after having it cut out. I will get some sound clips up of before and after to compare noise.

The intercooler pipes are 3 inch but if I were doing it again I would use 2.5 as they were a pain.
What sort of price are you looking at for the remap
