Hey guys, I recently picked this car up and have decided to part ways and venture into the Z community. I'll tell you straight up that I don't know a whole lot about it. I bought it from the owner's wife while he was overseas, and he hasn't responded to any emails asking about the car.
What I do know is the engine built, and I believe the car was setup for drag. How do I know it is built? It is running a Tomei m8270 at 25-30psi. A stock SR would laugh in your face if you attempted to run that kind of power through it. All the parts that I can see on the engine, the PO didn't cut corners on buying quality parts. The wiring is a mess. There was absolutely no transmission harness on the car, which I have bought a Wiring Specialties harness to replace it. The engine wiring is there, but needs to be tidied up. I believe it is tuned through RS Enthalpy. It runs a little rich, but it doesn't break up at any point through the power band. The car really does it. The boost comes on quick and strong and puts you back in your seat until it hits the limiter. The car also comes with a Nismo 2-Way Differential that I didn't get to install. I've had the car for a few months but have only been around it to work on it for what amounts to a week.
I would rate the exterior as a 7/10. It has recently been repainted, and the quality looks decent. The biggest flaw is the front passenger fender. It is pretty haggard and will need to be replaced. I believe the drivers side headlight motor needs to be replaced, as it goes down but will not go up. The passenger side goes up and down as it should. The car has R32 GTST wheels F/R with street slicks in the rear.
The interior is a 7.5/10. The dash is clean with only a single crack near the center. The rest of the interior is complete and clean, except the kick panel cover on the passenger side is missing. There is no stereo, but the brackets are intact. Currently neither the tach nor the speedo work. The speedo doesn't work because the WS lower harness isn't installed( will be at the time of sale), and the tach doesn't work because it is a sohc cluster.The pictures show a PBM shift knob. This is not included with the car.I have an oem knob in there now.
I know it doesn't help not knowing what all is in the car, but I'm just trying to get what I paid for it, even though I've bought a few parts for it. This car is a solid platform, and really just needs suspension to be perfect for drifting/grip racing.
