Well here's the car...

and here's it running lol.




it's not 100% it still needs a couple things here and there but it was on the road for a bit.

 

[colin123]

nice!

 

[vg33er200sx]

haha thanks, she's a runner alright. I fooled around with a shelby cobra gt500 and kept pace with him till he used full throttle...but the fact that he HAD to use full throttle to get away is pretty sweet

 

[dubie2003]

What are you using for tuning?

 

[vg33er200sx]

I have a custom tuned ECU that was programmed by jim wolf. they remapped the fuel curve, pushed by the fuel cut and rev limiter, and wrote it in for a z32 MAF...along with a bunch of other stuff.

 

[carphreak]

wow the s12 looks pretty good on its own. but the supercharger peeking out the hood makes the imagination go wild. really really nice! now if you can just get a nice hood to kind of cover it up....

 

[vg33er200sx]

yeah it's definitely a really pretty car, I like it a lot.

I'm going to get a custom hood fabricated. it's basically gonna look as factory and indiscreet as possible, so you can't tell what's under there until you hear the whine

 

[carphreak]

lol honestly i don't see how a big bulge on the hood is going to look discreet but i am anxious to see what you will come up with. also, are those watanabes?

 

[vg33er200sx]

haha well as much as possible, we're working on the design...it shouldn't be too bad, it's not as tall as it looks at that angle.

and yessir they are, genuine rs-8's. a rare five lug, staggered set

 

[colin123]

you could do a small cowl on the hood, in my head that seems like it would match the styling of the cars body pretty well and most people wont think too much of it. probably get more people making fun of it and not taking it seriously then they wont be laughing once they see what that thing does in a race then you'll be the one laughing at them heh

 

[vg33er200sx]

that's what I'm goin for haha. you shoulda seen the gt500 driver's face when I was keeping up, he actually looked really pissed he had to use full throttle, then stamped on it and took off

 

[mrgrayaz]

you dyno it yet?

 

[vg33er200sx]

not yet, still tryna get everything taken care of

 

[carphreak]

since you got them rare watanabes, how about going with a turbo hood? lol while you're at it how about some grand prix fenders?

 

[vg33er200sx]

I've looked into a turbo hood, they're not tall enough...or I would have, just to make it look completely factory.

as for those fenders...there's no way in hell I'll ever find any.

i miss those looks from vette drivers and guys with cammed out LS1s when i had my twin turbo 350z that looked bone stock

 

[carphreak]

put some spacers in the hinges then go from there...

as for those fenders...there's no way in hell I'll ever find any.

yeah i hear those cars were euro only and are extremely rare....

 

[vg33er200sx]

ehhh yeah, the spacing the hinges agitates me...just a personal peeve. I don't like it..

and yes, the GP edition cars are retardedly rare. they only made like some ridiculously small number of them, euro only, to celebrate the s12 winning a rally...I forget a lot of the details

 

[Dana_15]

Very nice!

 

[Espo78]

I like the supercharger poking up out of the hood. Very Mad Max.
