NissanSteves speed red 20vt project thread - 29/04/2014 13:38
Here is my project thread. Please post comments in the discussion thread.
Some brief details.
98 speed red 20vt, stock apart from a custom stainless cat back system.
183k miles with a fully stamped service book and then fully documented history at motormech. (And still running original turbo)
I bought this car with plans to get it into prefect cosmetic condition along with some nice tuning goodies to give me a great road car.
More pics to follow along with some recent work done.
To do list.
Completely restore the body shell. Which will involve total strip down with all glass out.
Shell strengthened and seams stitch welded.
Full respray in speed red including underside on top of stone guard.
Zender front bumper
LE skirts
Auto DS vented wings
Auto DS rear bumper (twin exhaust one)
Full brake overhaul front and rear. Uprated discs and pads all round.
Full suspension overhaul using Bilstein dampers and FCCS springs, strut brace, poly bushed, and main components powder coated.
Rebuilt engine running 350bhp
Air con delete.
Electric PAS conversion
Battery relocation
The aim is to restore the coupe to a satisfactory condition for a fun Road car with occasional track use.
It isn't a daily driver so it should be easy to maintain the "newness"
