Mike's 1985 two-tone ET (formerly Kid Nismo's) updated 30/1
Posted: Sun Oct 21, 2012 10:58 pm
Hi Guys,
After hunting after an ET in good condition, I saw Kid Nismo's ad a few days ago, and went out to inspect the car. Fell in love with it straight away, and after spending a couple of hours talking to Sok about the history of the car and all things N12, we sorted out payment and the car's now mine!
First thoughts of the car is that it is 99.9999% rust free and there are only a few small dents in the front passenger door, and two bumps around the rear bumper. Rust free and pretty much an arrow-straight body, definitely optimistic about it! There is no doubt that I will be respraying it in its current colours at some point next year, when I have a garage available to spray in.
Engine:
Piston wall rebore 0.50 thou
ACL Duralite piston 0.50 thou
Solid engine mounts
Camtech reground stage 2, 247" lift, 265" duration
CA18DET 340cc injectors
ACL bearings replaced on polished crank shaft
small front mount intercooler
VL throttle body
GT28 copy running 13 pound boost
3" dump to 2.5 exhaust
Exedy HD clutch
Cold idle control
AEM wideband air fuel ratio meter
boost gauge
Microtech LT8 and controller
MSD 3 coil blaster
Eagle 9mm ignition leads
Plumb back HKS BOV
Battery relocated to the boot
Suspension and Brakes:
unknown springs and pedders comforts at the front
pedders springs and kyb? Struts at the rear
Vented exa disks on the front.
Work with parts ready to go:
Prairie front calipers
factory side skirts
twin subs
head unit
amp
replace timing belt and cam gear gasket
rebuild spare gearbox with n13 internals
fix handbrake
rebuild rear calipers
replace muffler
