Default My beastly build @ Project X

After owning my Nismo 370 for only a year, I decided that the crap ton of mods I've done simply weren't enough.

With that in mind, Project X and I decided I decided on a twin turbo install along with a motor build, and many other goodies. Not to mention, one previously before mentioned killer JDM piece that we simply can't wait to see.

My car coming into 2012

And here we are with the front of the car off. Here you can really start to see the differences between the Z33 and the Z34.

Man what a nice Nismo! That's the cleanest engine bay I've seen. What kind of numbers are you going for and what are the plans for the car?

Also, the custom sub box Project X designed and built for my car is constructed out of Carbon Fiber.

Autopower roll bar. They're doing a bunch of interior tear down for the roll bar and custom sound set up (PPI).

Thanx to Jeff at Project X for posing for the shot. Perhaps he wanted to be sure we got a sense of scale.

We're aiming for around 600 at the wheel. Although we're actually building the engine for much more than that, there is not really a management system out there capable of handling much more than that safely and without issues.

I also am not comfortable with much more than that at this point, as I need to get used to having that much car LOL. But the engine will be ready to go if/when we decide to give her more power.

It's mainly a show car, but I am starting to get into some mild tracking just for fun. How could you not with that much power LOL.

What makes you say that? With a proper fuel setup I see no limitations of UpRev that would prevent you from making high horsepower.

Agreed. There is that car that shall not be mentioned that put down at least 850rwhp using the stock ECU and Uprev. They did upgrade the MAF's though.

Excited to see your progress.

Agreed, you can easily use the stock ECU for 600-700, I would give a call to GTM and talk to Sam for a bit about it.
