Stunning!!

 

Good luck man! Nice to see someone else in the UAE on here.

Bought a G coupe from the states..waiting for delivery.. ETA: 7 days!

 

Thanks man!

The G fired up nicely today, need to find me a decent alternator though. The fans are also starting when I switch the car on which puts more load on the battery making starting the engine even more difficult. The fan motor relays will be re-wired to the ECU tomorrow.

I also bought a cheap tachometer to keep an eye on things while I find a way to get the OEM Tacho to work. Might have to take the dashboard apart.

 

For those wondering, I have been driving the **** out of my car over the past 24 hours. Put almost 250 miles in less than 24 hours and man!! what a monster. Had it locked at 4k rpm and 5 psi boost. Man I can't wait to get her tuned! The sound of the turbo as it starts spooling is just eargasmic.. followed by Tial's BOV whoosh.. honestly just makes all the time, money & stress worth it.

Wish I could say the same for my neighbour though. I got home late at night and parallel parked into a tight spot (lots of back and forth on a heavy clutch that requires revving past 2k rpm to get it moving). A guy I never met wearing nothing but a towel pops out of nowhere and starts yelling at me: "Look man, it's a nice car and it sounds effing awesome, I too was young once but now I have two kids, must you make all that noise".

So I went home and ordered me one of those

lmao that is hilarious

when do you get to turn up the boost, and where do you think you will run it at daily?

I just got my tuner computer for my 'is

 

Way to go, Sam! This thread has been a nice long novel. I've enjoyed every page.

So far a satisfying closing. Final numbers will bring a round of applause!

I love the lo-tech and brilliant exhaust workaround. Neighbors: Can't live with them, can't shoot them.

Staying posted.

Congrats!! Keep us posted on your findings.

I am going later on today for an oil change & inspection. Then I'll break her in for another 1000 kms, then we go for a low boost tune. I won't open her up at once, so I'll probably start with the wastegate spring pressure for a while (1 bar ). Get the engine to get used to that for another 5-10k kms. Then we take our lovely 98 RON fuel to its limits!

Sure can't! I went and spoke to him again today, very cool dude, complemented the ride and said he was just cranky.

Coop I'd start worrying about your 1/4 mile record if I were you

 

That's the spirit! Go BIG or go home!

I'm shakin' in my boots. Draw, partner!

Great thread sir

 

Car is running beautifully. Only problem is starting it. Sometimes it starts from the first time, other times I have to crank it a few times before it starts.

 

I cannot wait to hear this thing tuned Sam. Fast Intentions paired w/ that that motor...ahhhh

 

In for a video

 

Coming soon Lance

Phase 2 started meanwhile! Special thanks to Charles @ b2autodesign for hooking me up!



Rear setup:


A pic of the engine bay with the strut bar


The interior however is still work in progress.. don't scroll down if you have a weak heart

 

One sick G, that engine bay screams power, RB/godzilla can handle some heavy boost. Cant wait to see a video after you get her dialed in.

 

Everything looks amazing! Bet it's a blast to drive. I like the attention to detail on the roadside bomb for the interior!! Very authentic!!






I joke, I joke.
