As you mostly know my beast 300zx is for sale. And I have purchased a new car. Moved up to a 5door!

Its a Vixen Red 2004 BA XR6T. Bought it for 13,000$. It came with 297rwkw. Try beat that for bang for your buck! I spend 800$ to get it RWC (as I bought it from NSW). Rear diff bush and ball joints needed replacing.

Here is what it looked stock:

It came with:

390cc injectors

Monza Cooler

XEDE Chip + ChipTorque tune

Full APS Exhaust turbo back

Custom Cold Air Induction

Nizpro Valve Springs

Then I put on some rimms and lowered it (still needs to drop bout 1cm all round). Has 18x8 all round with 235/40/18 Goodyear Eagle F1s. Springs are Kings SL fronts and SSL on the back.

Then I put on the GT front bar. Painted the mouth Black same colour as the rimms. Waiting for a matching black XR8/GT bonnet to replace stock red xr6t bonnet. Dont know if I will paint the driving light housing black to match the mouth yet....still undecided. Will keep it as is for now and see how I go.

Went to Bayswater Auto and had the xr6t auto gbox specialist. Spent 3500$. Got a strengthened auto good for 450rwkw guarenteed for 12 months, 2800rpm hi stall, shiftkit and transcooler installed.

Feels crazy just smashing throuhg gears flawlessly. Awesome!

Then had car at AVO @ Cheltneham for past 1-2 weeks. Just got it back tonight all fixed and tuned and complete.

Car completed and all mods now is:

18" Deepdish Rimms

Kings SL fronts and SSL Backs

Double pod wiht BOOST AND VOLT AUTOMETRE gauges

K&N Flatpan filter + Custom Air Intake

60lb Deka Injectors

AVO Stage 2 Intercooler Kit

12 PSI Actuator + larger flapper

Turbo ported

Full APS Exhaust system turbo back

Capa Flash x3 + 2 tunes. 12 PSI and 16 PSI.

Nizpro Valve Springs

Im sure somethings have been missed. Anyway here are some shots I took just now after everything is done.

Power figure is 314rwkw + 30rwkw that the histall is stealling. Bloody hell I was almost tempted not to get it after he told me it holds off 30rwkw!!!!! No more dyno queening for me.

Will be taking it to heathcote next sat. When I bough thte car the guy showed me 2 slips with 297rwkw ant ran mid 12s. Im expecting just to plant the foot down with slicks and hit a flat 11. Even I can drive an auto! :D

The ZX lifestyle is over, and the 10sec street car is now on the cards! Finally a car that doesnt break on a regular basis.

I can only provide this one which was before AVO fixed the actuator issue and turbo porting and last tune. Their dyno has gone in for a 10 year maintenance and they wont have machine back for bout a week or so. When I can get the last dyno sheet ill post it out :P

Who cares about peak power when you have a curve like that! Nice work mate... How many ks does it have?

Good luck with stallie and semi slicks... Hope your CVs hold up!

Dont expect too much first time either. Its not easy... You have to get to know your car... Throttle control etc.

Good luck

looks good man. with the slicks and stally and if ya cvs dont snap haha I recon you will get into the 11s but an 11 flat is a pretty big ask. I remember reading a bloke on here similar set up as yours ran a 11.5 which is pretty quick but best of luck with it be sure to let us know how it goes :huh:
