Yep!

I figured someone who had touched the car would see it on here. I'm glad you found it!!

I'll be taking good care of her for sure, no worries there. I'm not going to be driving it on the street, she's only to be used for track events. I got some maintenance tips from McKinney's and will be strictly following them.

I was kinda confused by a few of the decisions made on the car, but overall it is an incredible build. Kudos x 1000 to you!

Here's a list of things I'm going to be doing:

- replacing fuel filter to 300zx filter- adding oil catch pan for oil squirt thing on the valve cover (you'll have to excuse my newbishness)- keeping coil cover off unless at a show or something to keep the coil packs around longer- painting roll cage (biggest wtf moment when I saw the build) - replacing belts every 365 days- changing oil every track day

There are a few other things but I don't have my list on me. Just changed the oil tonight and washed her. I took the front lip off of the car,too. no need for that.

Also forgot to say...

If I had chosen to build this car from scratch, I would have done it EXACTLY as you've done it (aside from not painting the cage before welding it in). I had to have it when I saw it. It's too good to be true, really.

Actually the original cage in the car was a gold powdercoated bolt in cage, but it was a horrible design. For anyone taller than 5'8" you would have cracked your skull on it. So the owner had Alex Pfeiffer weld in his s13 cage, saying that he would get it painted afterwards. Alex was super hesitant to weld in a cage on a painted car like that and even offered to at least rattle can it black to be presentable, but he kept saying don't worry about it. And to be honest the original owner screwed alex and never even paid him for the cage. He dodged all his and our calls as well as emails. Anyways, to make a long story short we're gonna give a lot of the leftover parts to alex to make his money.. ie mines cluster, Rb26 trans, N1 oilcooler, etc...

Ahhh indeed. I heard he had a falling out with G-Dimension I've been cleaning the interior up and took out the seats because I'm going to paint the cage here this week. Gold, of course.

The previous owner's name is Enrique. Are you from G-Dimension?

Dang, if you guys are willing to sell me the oilcooler that would be sweet (you could forward to money to Alex). What all is in the Mine's cluster?

hahaha oddly enough, I ended up finding the originals in my dining room under a pile of school books and all kinds of crap after I already used yours. I have no clue how they got there. lol $7 bucks down the drain, but oh well. no biggie. Just shows what a good guy you are.

Everyone go to rawbrokerage.com for any random part you need, they helped me out when I needed the main bolts asap. Extremely nice and helpful guys!

The horney GTR is an awesome build, and he is sparing no expense, but it's far from the fastest or most amazing build out there. I'm not bagging on it at all, I'm just saying, there are some nice GTR's out there. You guys just don't see a lot of them because most aren't on english language forums.

R32 GTSTRB30DET rebuild with forged pistons, std rods, std crank, rb25det oil pump. 9:1 static comp. -R32 RB25DE head thats had a little work usual port polish valve deshroud and multi angle valve job. - Blocked rear oil restrictor and 1.5mm oil restrictor up frontGT3076r .6 Port Shroud Comp .82 (HKS3037S spec) with Garrets internal gate housing on the std exh manifoldAdapted a GTR PFCStock air box with 100mm cai in to the inner bumperRB25DET GearboxNismo LSDTein HR set to 360mm std look ride heightToyo 225/50 16's that hold 360rwhp (DD Dyno Shoot6f) @ 15psi without issues.

Its currently sitting in the drive way waiting for a set of cams to be delivered 264/264 9mm lift. 221 @ 0.050" and on to 400-430rwhp.

I will then try to squeeze it a little more with a water/meth injection kit for 450-460rwhp. Realistically the turbo is pretty much maxed out at 450rwhp and the std exh. manifold around 300rwkw (400rwhp). Time will tell.

Wish I went the GT35r now and could have squeezed 390rwkw (522rwhp).See how the little GT30 goes first.

The idea was to build up a no lag stock looker which it has turned out to be. :D
