My RB28 T-78 GTR

[Snatch]

Not much of a project seeing as everything is almost done. I figured you all might enjoy this anyway. It landed about a month ago, but I've waited for the roads to clear up recently to get her on the road.

Only mods I have completed so far is add the HKS AFK as the car is already using HKS Vpro. I also swapped in new coilpacks thanks to Allan. I'll have a complete mod list when I get my build list translated. If anyone can translate Japanese to English please PM me! Might change the wheels and seats, other than that I can't think of much else that needs changing.

Just had the car dyno tuned at RCTS. Nothing to aggressive. I was instructed to wait for some warmer weather before we shoot for higher numbers. I don't have any clean pictures of the car taken in Calgary, but here are some taken before it was shipped from Japan.

Enjoy! :)

Nice car!

[Rapier46]

Sick.

[DrMango]

Looks pretty slick. I love TH1, its my favorite colour! Any numbers to let us get a taste of what she did the first time on a dyno?

[Zacho]

Love it, aggressive looks. I'm also interested in figures!

If you can scan the list I can get it translated for you, someone on another forum translated random receipts in my car.

This is a nice example of a beautifully built car. No frills, no gimicks, all muscle. Other than the gratuitous Nismo Oil Cap, you will not really find much 'bling'. This car has 'IT' where it counts and is a MONSTER with a ton of potential.

I'm sure you won't be desapointed to buy an already modified car from Japan, tons of money saved!

This dyno sheet was sent to me when it was still in Japan. When I had it dyno tuned at RCTS, it made 440whp and then the coils would fail. I have new coils now and she's running GOOD. If you can get those sheets translated you would be my hero. :)

Thanks Allan!

This is my second built car from Japan, and both have not disapointed me. I'm starting to think no one in this city can build a decent RB. :) Leave it to the Japanese who have the motors down to a science and have been building them for over 20 years.

Thanks....lol

This is the exact reason I am happy to stare at a pile of parts here at home worth thousands of dollars, rather than rush them off to some machine shop who will fuck my build up and leave me in tears....lol

I encourage anyone to prove me wrong haha. I still haven't seen anything like my last GTR locally. And the only thing I had to change in that car was the spark plugs. :cool:

Just sent them to get translated :)

This thread makes me wish I just bought a built car from the get-go...no lies. What can ya do.

[aldyguy]

That's a beautiful car

If I were to "build" my own car, I would just contact a reputable shop in Japan and get them to build the motor, then have it shipped at your preference.

Thanks a million!

Here are the JIC seats I might be putting in. Also I'm not too sure which steering wheel I'm going to use. Allan, see any you like?

Nothing at the moment, sorry!

[mcfly]

where did you find this/buy from?

[bobbo]

I like that Sparko wheel, looks tough.
If you plan on putting those JIC seats in would you consider selling me your Recaro Px seat? I've got a driver identical but oem px seat. I HATE mismatched seats!

Thanks!

Spencer from Boss Imports found it for me. Was a private sale that wasn't listed yet.

[Kras]

[Snatch]

Yessir, it is now anyways. I can't tell for sure if it was made that way, or if it just completely faded.
