Gay Singles rejoice!



QLD for a year turned into a permanent move, the process of transporting and registering GTR to QLD got too much and I didn't want a trailer queen so I moved it on after a long and tedious sales process I got what I wanted. There are heaps of events on in QLD literally 4 or 5 good events a month + things like Noosa hillclimb etc and it was killing me being on the sidelines.

The vibe of the GTR was always heading towards moving on, I wanted to do more rallysprint style events, and the fear of nudging a wall etc in a GTR has a huge repair cost compared to the average GC8 so the idea has been floating around for a while.

Ideally a GC8 207 + DCCD 6 Speed was what I was chasing.

After a long look, I came across this in NSW.

Does it need a box? Or just to be fixed in place?

And are those cooler pipes silicone the whole way??

I assumed those intercooler pipes were hard, but nope silicone so slotted a fender filter in which will remain in place and diverted the air intake under the silicone hoses.

got rego today, it is an absolute hoot to drive

Has a dyno sheet for 232awkw in the car, last STI was 190 odd kw, don't think its that much quicker but definitely good fun. Will see what it spins up when it goes in for a looksy and E85 tune
