- 470rwkw Twin Turbo VE SS-V
FATSSV - *Now TWIN TURBO and M6!!* Charged, cammed, bagged and "stanced"
Hey, I've been meaning to do one of these build threads for the past couple of years but haven't gotten around to it till about now, so here we go...... also, if you completely hate jap imports, you best skip the first half as that's where my story starts hahaha
Brought the car back in 2012 I think (could be 2011, can't remember), stock as a rock as a daily for when I used to have my R33 GTS-t. Enjoyed both of the cars for about a year and a half before deciding to sell the R33, as I would only have the chance to take it out a few weekends a month and since it was costing me $2k in insurance and $700 in rego, it didn't make financial sense to keep the R33 in the garage for 98% of the year.
For anyone interested, here are a few pics of the ol' R33:
And even though old, one of my fave pics of when the two were together:
Anyway, here's what most people are here for. The SS-V was your basic run-of-the mill 6L L98, with the A6 transmission. Enjoyed it stock for all of 3-months before I decided it didn't sound enough like a V8, so on went a 3" catback exhaust with Varex mufflers and an Airhammer intake.....
Then came a new set of wheels. Then came the king springs (SSL). Then came the coilovers. Then came the front+rear airbag suspension. Then came another set of new wheels. Then came the cam. Then came the supercharger. And here we are today!
Mechanical:
- Harrop 2300 Stealth Force Supercharger running 10psi via. smaller pulley
- VCM-5 228/232 114LSA camshaft
