This is my daily driver, I have owned it for around 6 years now, it's nothing special just your usual red over silver calais. I've done a few modifications such as replace the diff with a 3.9 LSD, been through 3 autos until Raceglide's built me a half decent Jatco 4 speed backed by a TCE 3,000 hi-stall and running 2 LPD large tranny coolers Motor is standard but did a head gasket which when I removed the head found to be a low quality ACL item , I have since installed a genuine Nissan head gasket with no problems yet. The turbo was already on the car when I bought it so it's specs are unknown but when I removed the turbo once a mate reckoned it had a Sierra exhaust wheel but to me it's a To3 with internal gate still. Intercooler is a AVO stage 2 item which I'm more than happy with. JPC catch can. Standard injectors with no extra injector and standard ECU,standard fuel pump, standard throttle body and 2.5 inch exhaust still useing the factory ****ty crinkle dump pipe. Airbox has no cold air set up whatso ever and still retains a standard Ryco air filter. And I only use Shell Optimax fuel. I have stockpiled alot of new panels and parts for this car as I'm very fussy for later on when I take it off the road for a respray. Later on a set of 363 injectors and Autronic SMC or SM2. With a decent tune and say 18 psi on slicks it should run low 12's possibly break a high 11. I have raced the car best ever it's done at calder raceway about 3 years ago was a 12.9 @ 107mph 14psi on street tyres - Kelly Charger 225/55/15 and did get a bit wobbly at top end because of these crap tyres.
