RB20Det R31....Twinkle's Car

[bunno_r31]

As a bit of a background, i got the car completly stock, auto, rb30e etc back in 2007 when i was on my L's. Eventually got to giving it a manual conversion, some new rims, and some lowered springs, but that was about it.

I then got a new daily, so it was time to have some fun with this thing. Firstly it got a 20det conversion. this meant it went alright, but still looked crap, so time came for a fresh paint job.

Once i got the car back, it got fitted with coilovers all round, S13 front suspension conversion and r32 brakes. so now it goes ok, looks alright, and handles, so i was pretty happy. However, after doing a track day at collie (Local Track) it was obvious that i wanted more power, so more work began, and thats where im at now.

The engine is currently stripped of all bolt on bits, waiting to be pulled out. Once i get it out (arm is broken at the moment so cant really do much) its getting some go fast bits including a custom made front facing plenum that i designed and had fabricated, DSR430G2 turbo, 444cc GTR injectors and a nistune. (along with all braided hoses, adjustable FPR and all the other usual stuff to support decent power figures).

Updates from now on will only be on significant steps along the way. Im not going to say when i want it back on the road, as it will never happen on time, but i do want to get back out on track sooner rather than later.
