Hi guys,
My name is Ross and i am from Dunfermline in Scotland.
I own a 1996 Nissan Pulsar GTi Autech edition, which is an import version of the UK almera GTi.
It was factory tuned by a company in japan called Autech and stock it makes 170hp from a 2.0l engine. (as well as being fitted with a LUDICROUS bodykit!)
I bought the car last november and had 2 months of non stop problems which tested the limits of my mechanical ability, but i am now happy i have the car running and looking top of its game.
I recently bought a WON 150i kit from Lawson at Powerhouse UK (recommend him to anyone!)
so here is some pictures of how far i have come so far.
how i bought it:
unfortunately i got a months worth of use out of it before i was rear ended on the first day of the heavy snowfall on my way to help a friend who tried to clear his windscreen with the wipers
so the car spent the next month sitting in my drive where it decided it didnt want to live again. once the snow thawed i got back to work trying to get it running, new battery, new HT leads, new spark plugs, new fuel filter, new starter motor until finally discovering this :
after the insurance payout was agreed i got to work repairing it, i like my ghetto mechanics
and blew my insurance settlement on a full respray
got a 2.5" exhaust custom build and fitted and fitted 4-2-1 manifold
and finally more recently i bought this
I know the car and its cosmetics may not be to everyones taste but i have kept it as the tuning company intended and i love it!
current specification:
2.0l NA motor with 7.5k rev limit (factory)
265/11mm camshafts (factory fit)
11.5:1 Compression ratio (factory)
ported head (factory)
full 2.5" stainless exhaust mated to the factory Fujitsubo backbox
A'Pexi Dual funnel intake
Fidanza 8lbs Aluminium flywheel (stock is 18lbs)
LSD transmission (factory)
Daiyama Coilover Suspension
Energy Suspension poly bush kit
custom 4 wire O2 sensor (prevents richness caused by misreading the signal from bad ground in the stainless exhaust)
Whiteline rear sway bar
at the moment it should run the quarter mile in about 15.0 seconds (i race at crail, anyone thats been should know how bad it is) and i hope to drop into the 13's with my nitrous kit which i will be fitting this weekend.
Thanks for reading and i hope to stick around on this forum
