Karl's N12 pulsar
Been off work for the last few days so got some work done on the pulsar. . . .
It just gets worse n worse. Took the wheels off and to my suprise, almost every wheel stud is stripped due to the wrong wheel nuts being used. So replacing those with longer studs tomorrow.
Anyone in NZ got a set of mags for sale? Prefer 15-16". Have tried 2 different sorts of 17's on it, +37 and +40 offset and they didnt fit too well.
Also after a 2.5" or 3" dump pipe to suit factory turbo.

Those wheels look fucken sweet!
Except now you need a brake upgrade to match : /
I wonder how much those Verada discs would fill the fronts...

The main Nissan performance range uses a smaller stud spacing (http://forum.n12turbo.com/viewtopic.php?t=4664). Lots more work for practically the same result, just better looks. Also to use this approach you have to weld a casting, which generally isn't the best idea, unless you really know what your doing.chch_n12 wrote:Cheers bro. Very happy with the rims.
Agree with the brakes I do, look a tad......small.
Has anyone ever put GTIR brakes on a ET?

The wing came with the car when I purchased it, so not sure sorry. Maybe someone else on here knows??
Bit of a update. Stripped the engine bay back to bare steel and resprayed it in 1k gloss black. Also completly stripped all the wiring out of the enginebay and redone it so looks alot tidier now.
New engine has been built for it, should be getting put in this weekend providing the weather is good. New pistons, rods, bearings, winged sump, new valves.......Top mount turbo manifold is not getting put back on due to clearence issues with radiator, leaves absoluetly no room for a intercooler.
Will most likely be putting factory manifold on with a T25g turbo. Will upload some photos within the next couple of days.
Photoglossy, can you please send me a email, I am unable to send PM's.
