Looks quite tidy man.

I dont mind those stickers, but they will look better gone :p

16 PSI is a bit high haha!

16psi is nothing to a properly tuned and build SR20

For god sake remove the shopping list!!
I can never remember with the T25G in the 180, is it steel or ceramic wheeled? Of the 180/Silvia and the skyline one has a ceramic wheel the other steel. If your's is ceramic I wouldn't be running 16psi with it.

S2 R33 (and some 34's) have a nylon compressor wheel. But yes, that shopping list has to go.

16psi is nothing to a properly tuned and build SR20

A turbo that small would be out of its efficiency range past then anyway.

If you end up having to change the turbo at some point, save yourself some hassle and buy some braided lines too. You'll save yourself a lot of swearing.

What kind of ECU are you running?

Yeah, but this is just a bog standard SR20DET running standard turbo. Wouldn't 16 be high for it?

Nice buy Frogsta.

My suggestions are similar to everyone elses.
- Paint the wheels a better colour
- Remove the shopping list.

One last thing though, I highly doubt this keeps up with VE GTS' s

all sr turbo's have steel turbine wheels. 16 psi is a bit much for a t25 i wouldnt be suprised it turbo been changed they usually all have.

You get 16 out of a t28 easy and its good for about 200rwkw

Holy crap guys calm down haha. Shopping list was gone when I posted this, I was gonna put it on straight away but I had to wait for the thread to post. Mesh in front of intercooler is gone as well. Previous owner said he didn't look into the mods done by first owner (I'm number 3) so I have no idea what ECU. It's tuned for 16psi but can actually hit 19 but I don't like to push it that hard as others said to be careful with the turbo (Which I was told was stock, but like I said would grab a T28 if it dies)
With the VE GTS it was N/A 6.2L but yeah not sure if he was trying, had a 307 badge on the back I think. If we went from standstill he woulda lost me from take off, I have yet to get the launch yet haha, hard to get a good point where I don't just spin the wheels. Funny story I thought that GTS was a cop at first as he flew past my mate and went up to me that night. Anyway more pics, I forgot to get one of the interior which is in top notch condition like the outside.

Clean back end. Was considering aftermarket taillights with black background, thoughts?

Ordered manual boost controller today and thinking about a blow off valve. I don't know imports very well yet aha. Also paint these rims gloss black or get a different set? I like the green for JDM spec and just cruising and because green. Also have a new starter motor to go in as sometimes the car decides not to start, just clicks once

Oh and almost forgot, got it for 7.5k pretty good for such a clean one with decent boost

Type X is the sexiest kit on those. Leave the tail lights alone :p If you get a blow off valve make sure it doesn't vent to atmosphere. Which boost controller did you go for? Need a proper airbox to. Pod = fail

Don't, you've got Type X lights. Easily the best looking (they'd better be a $600 a set too).
