Nissan 200SX Club - South Africa

Ouch Barry that's abit of a kak 1 I'd be so pissed with the transport company..

But I do have to agree with you the best mod is suspension.. Takes the car from a horse and cart feel to sweet driving machine...

So it is rather final...I will not be getting my wheels as they are now oficially paying me back my money and then sum..bonus but I would rather have had the wheels.
Perhaps later..

An update -I had my std. airbag steering wheel recovered in leather with a red stitch.
Rather happy with the outcome !


Also finished the gauge pod to my liking.



On the subject of the sub frame Energy bushes I had got from Ian. I screwed up by removing the complete bush from the frame, hence the fact that the Energy stuff not fitting or working as they should have. Unfortunately the very comprehensive instruction sheet was missing from my box and I did not figure out the correct method of fitment.

As an emergency I fitted full solid ally stuff which is very harsh for a daily.
Credit card to the U.K. and three days later I got something that will solve my problem.
Will be fitting them this coming weekend.


This build will now be rather quiet for some time as the second phase of the car gets done.

Looking super neat there looks like it was factory fitted... Also love the gauge pod, I see what you mean by its too dark to read the gauge....

Nice Barry

Pod & Steering wheels looks even better in person, Did you chat to Mo about them having a none smoking version of the boost gauge ?

How did you get those from the UK in 3 days, WOW...

Pity about the wheels bud but atleast they are willing to pay you back.

LOL why didnt you read the instructions bud. Pity you didnt have them as they would have made life much easier.

Does phase 2 = 6+2

Bloody horrible during the day, tremendous at night ! Will not buy smoked gauges again.....

Hey John...yea, after driving that mental car I guess it does ! Finally !
I will dearly miss the wail of the RB though..

and I never got to fit my GT3076R to her either !!

I've got 2 smoked gauges and I have no problems in daylight the 1 is the new auto gauge 1 is old version..

Just dont take her off the road for too long bud.

Is this just cause I got lucky up great north and managed to get my nose in front LOL. That was a totally lucky one.

Any joy with trading the 2 turbos ?

Dont sell that Celica short bud, she is amazing for a little two liter !! No luck there, while I was waiting for some krag you were giving me one up the pipe !

No, no luck on the two turbo`s.
It`s fine, I`ll fit the TO4z to big mama and do something obscure with the little one...like having it on my desk and occasionally twirling the exhaust wheel for fun..........

LOL you not supposed to spin the shaft on those turbos hey. Fucking expensive but nice paperweight. I am sure the GT3076R will be an easy one to sell and get your money back, should be more demand for that than the T04z though.

Eish I need to get more out of the Celica when you do the 6+2. mmmm put the Meth Injection in and up the boost slowly until BANG then go back 0.1 Bar

looking good man!

what it set u back for the recovering of the wheel? also have one that needs to be done

Riekert, R850.00 including vat. Speedline in JHb.
Taking my ZX and Momo in today as well.

Jiss, but it`s cold in Jhb. this morning !!

hehe shot man!

yeah need to get a original MK2 16v GTi wheel recovered.

Thanx!

damn man... it bloody -5 here in Bloemfontein at 7am

Well, I had a bit of a brown spot down under moment coming home tonight....Foot flat around the Kempton roundabout to Benoni to get past a slow little golf and my car takes off and will not slow down !!
This bloody RB takes off through the corner with the throttle wide open and I`m trying to hook the pedal back up. Hit the ignition switch super fast and she slows...
Friggin carpet was bundled under the pedal and held the accelerator wide open...

First time that has ever happened to me....jirre, this car is strong !!!!!
