Some nice parts there! The bits you've made came out nice too :icon_tup:. Always loved the sound of strait cut gears :cool:.

Thanks for the warning.

Still gotta break in the engine. Will only be there for two weeks. If I get to break it in im definately gonna hit the track with the dogbox ;) I ll post a video when i do

Always classy, love this car.

Brad I havent spoken to you in ages man how have you been

Loved the Red one you had, this one kicks balls to... Lots of awesome parts of into it..

Im usually not the biggest fan of the feed kit, but I rely like it in the white.. It adds a bit of subtle aggression to it..

Have you had any trouble with battery yet?

I consider running Li-po's in mine but I did not think the potential risk was worth it, have a few friends that do hobby stuff with them and heard some stories.. I didn't read anywhere, are you running li-ion, or Li-po?

You still have an extra one laying around you would consider selling?

I'm in a 93 jdm so it should just drop in
.
Either way... Like the direction your taking this thing..

Cheers.

J.

Im actually looking at one right now ;) pm me for details

And thank you for the kind words.
Reason for the feed kit is the simplicity that wont really change the oem lines and availability is Definitely a factor

The battery is the work of a friend. I can ask what cells hes using but he sold a few of them and they seem to last fine for 2+ years. So far no problems with mine but it has been barely used

Looks good. Like the Defi mount.

Actually a couple of people pmed me about the defi monitor pod. Should I become a paying vendor and make a few copies ?;)

Damn Costas, you've been spending a mint on this car lately..... I think I may want cash after all for those special engine parts we've been speaking about :D

Good work man, way to bounce back from the fire. I know first hand about FD tragedies unfortunately, ours were like 10 days apart I think right?

Haha Rich
Well in fact I ran out of cash due to all these parts haha. Im afraid we could only do part exchange.
We ll discuss it on Wednesday with some cheese and dutchess at your favorite spot ;)


Between our loses it was more than 10 days.. I would say around a month if not more as I was in russia for 3 weeks right before the fire

Looks good.

Sweet looking.

Super clean :icon_tup:

Wheel and tire fitment is spot-on Coostas :)

Thank you fellas.. more to follow when I return.. a pile of parts are waiting there + a tuner that is coming from the us to finally tune it

hoping for some tire sponsors ;)

Sick car Costa! Good job choosing the right parts for the build.

If it you don't mind me asking, who will tune your car?

Andrew

Hey Andrew
Thanks

I have yet to decide who's gonna tune it as enzo is very busy.
I have different options, we shall see by the end of july

Well I don't know if you remember, but last time we met I told you I was getting Enzo to tune my car that weekend... He work on my car (3 rotor runing Microtech ltx12) until it was right we were there from 10 AM until 10 PM. I had break up issues because my ignition wasn't strong enough because I was injecting methanol for safety but it would be too hard on the spark. Despite that he adjusted the timing and was able to perform a tune for 9 psi, 14 and 17 psi. He is very patient and goes through all the rpm range to build the map for the car to run properly... He did an amazing job! The car was running like a dream! I wasn't able to boost 14 psi and more on the highway because on the actual road there is more resistance than on a dyno.

He gave me the advice that I needed to upgrade my ignition and suggested that one if the best is M&W and it is what I bought. After I install the M&W box the car would run strong at any PSI with zero break up just as he had told me.

What I liked is that he takes his time and he is very patient. Also he is not power hungry, he is all about being reliable and put the client in a situation where he will get enjoyment out of a motor that will last them many miles instead of a ticking time bomb.

Good luck!

Costas,
The build is looking very nice :icon_tup:

There is only one tuner I'd recommend, especially if you are going to road race it, Ray at PFS!

Trust me I know enzo.. his work is very good. He has already been to cyprus twice but unfortunately he cant make it this year. The fact that hes local to me also helps a lot as I strongly believe that this kind of relations require face to face interactions. And I remember your setup very well.. a rather envious setup ;) .. I wish I could get to that point eventually.
so far I tuned the car myself with the help of some friends. Runs good but I have yet to reach the cars potential. Apparently I have tuned the car better so far as from what I have seen the tuners over there (most of them) are incapable to calibrate a 3bar map sensor on a power fc lol

He also tuned a 500whp fc in cyprus conservatively and the car rums great for the last 3+ years.. original unopenned engine with 150+ k km on the clock..

Thanks fritz, I gotta admit that for this build you helped quite a lot :)
I have only heard of Ray. Never met him in person.. I mainly hear good things about him but I dont have any first hand experience to talk for myself.

My pleasure, as always thanks for the support!

There are lots of good tuners out there: Steve Kan etc..... but PFS is a tuner that has proven himself over and over again (tuned Ernie T's drag car to 800 plus HP/two rotor engine), tunes Supras to ridiculous power #s and his own 350z made 750 or so. Bottomline: he can TUNE!!!

If you have experience with someone/know a good tuner, no worries but you won't go wrong if you choose PFS :icon_tup:

Better than some of the wheels you've had!! :crackup:

love the car! i cant seem to find your tire sizes

The road tires (nt05) are 245 40 18 and rear are 285 35 18 (if memory serves, uncertain about the tire profile)
The tires for the track (nt01) are 275 40 17 square setup

That's pretty much what I tell people when it comes to tuning.

Luckily the person who "volunteered" to tune did a great job. Car runs great. Makes great torque and great power. We had it on the dyno for 6+ hours doing 25psi pulls and the car feels awsome.. the car ended up not participating in the time attack event due to several problems (tune unrelated) but in the trials the car was heading for first place..
I blew a turbo transmission burned the master and slave cylinders and fried my power fc.

I have to thank BNR SUPERCARS for building a turbo for meafter my original turbo failed. Shipping it the same day and made it half way across the planet in a day and a half. I would definitely go back to BNR again and again.

At the track

I also like the all white look.. it is in the plans :)
I will leave the vents carbon only just as a trim sort of looking thing
Thanks Gordon

Great looking car. How do you like the fitment of that RE-Amemiya AD-9 hood? Does it secure well with just the stock hood latch and without catch pins?

I cant say that it fits like a glove.. It could be the rest bodykit though but hell that latch is strong.. zero movement at over 200km

^ wondering the same thing.

Any updates on this build Costas. I am sure you have good stuff coming in :)

Forum is too dead for any updates

Whats so fascinating about it Gordon?:scratch:

Expand what? That the forum is dead? Whats there to expand? If you disagree with my statement, good for you i guess:icon_tup:

Guess you just have to be looking in the right places :scratch:...Most users ever online was today.

Nevertheless. . This forum is nowhere near what it used to be ..

That's the sad truth

Gordon i received your pm but i decided not to respond as im stuck between sides and i dont have an opinion or even a say in the whole thing.

Nevertheless. .. theres some stuff going on with the car currently. Once they are done i ll post some updates.. im not too keen on it to be honest but i will do it to continue my support to this community

Costas being himself as usual. He's a good guy however :)

I would like to see more updates though

Waaaaaaaaaa, Just post vids of your tranny.
