Well i brought the car back in september 06 and she was bone stock. SR20DE automatic open center diff, first time i drove her i was in love and knew straight from the word go she would be a modified dream :)

in the first 3 days i had installed the stereo out of my old car, painted the calipers red and fitted a 2.5" cat back exhaust which ended up a week later blowing out the cat.

over the past 2 and a bit years ive owned her she's changed quite a lot.

The autobox eventually let go so converted it to a manual using an S14 5 Speed.
Lowered the car on kingsprings and tucked in some KYB shocks.
Also added to the mix front and rear strut braces.

that lasted for a couple of months untill the bug bit again this time finding me a set of decent NON CHROME :P rims

FX Fat 5 17x7.5 rapped in federal 595's.

One of my mates Decided he wanted to convert his 180 to a sil80 so my help was enlisted, me wanting to do something different as you really dont see to many onevia's around (this all happened in my front yard/driveway)

Then it was time for the engine, i ended up finding myself a quite nice condition SR20DET Blacktop out of a '95 Type X. only had 77k on it and was quite fresh.

so that was dropped in and along with a 3" turbo back exforce exhaust, HDI Hyprid GT Spec front mount intercooler

once this was all in me and my little helpers hahah mainly to of my mates from Hardtuned.net discovered that this little engine actually had some hidden goodies such as the HKS actuator strapped to the side of the factory T25G.

Running 14psi daily on the old fuel pump was a bit risky so in went a Bosch 040 to feed the hungry SR and oh its a hungry one.. when it went on the Dyno she made 187 RWHP (about 140 KW) mostly because of how rich it was running, right when the engine was making peak power the afr's dropped right off the chart past 10.5 where the graph stopped..

this coaxed me into doing a little bit of research into it all, discovered for one the ECU was in fact an ECU for the Automatic model, which it has different load points for the gears.

Lately its had an R200 LSD installed Vertex rear bar and bomex skirts added to complete the GP motorsports front bar.

At this point im waiting for my mate to remove his current ECU with 550cc injectors, z32 AFM and some other goodies to make room for his new engine, then it will be off for a tune which i hope will leave me with seeing about 180-190 kw's
