Hi all, Just purchased a gorgeous 300 (Wanted one for ages but always to much for me!)

Anyway shes no minter yet although she comes with a full engine rebuild including 2 new turbo's, pistons, a bit of head work, HKS filter, high rise spoiler, digital boost gauge and a full blow over on the point.

Well the paint work needs redoing so thats first, brakes are rubish and calipers seized so i have purchased standard rears and EBC front pads and discs. Really need to source new calipers though! Any ideas would be great.

I want some wheels, love the mania ones in 18 or 19, want to lower her, later front end, and give a couple of engine mods for a bit more power.

Basically im gona have a look around the site for ideas but any help on the above mentioned - where to get and what to do etc would be great.

I run a styling shop so little things like HID's, plates etc i can sort but im not familiar with alot of jap bits, i come from a Ford RST and BMW backround ;).

Thanks in advance.

with the larger wheels then a brake upgrade route is the r33 calipers and discs, r34 calipers will fit but need the mounting holes enlarged, check out smithys brake upgrades as well.

Depends on what power you want as to what you will have to do, rule of thumb is 400bhp is safe on standard internals and injectors, any more and you are looking at forged with 555 injectors , remap and turbo and intercooler change.

welcome mate. It looks like you gotta alot of work to do LOL

Yep, she certanly is a project, but its all fun. Want to spend as little as poss but i know it will always spiral out of control.

I have a few questions;

She has started missing- is this a plug?

So will R33 calipers and discs be best for a lower buget? - looked at other upgrades but im not spending hundreds? - will i need larger wheels? - where can i get some calipers from?

So to get the 400 bhp what do i get and where?

Need some standard calipers desperate as have ebc discs and red pads, also standard rears!

Fancy these;

 

 

 

And some cut springs, Engine bling, pos new leather and respray/new front bumper!!

 

Also want that extra Easy horses asap! Have s/s, new garrett turbo's, hks filter, shaved pistons and boost turned way down.

 

Need to sort the speedo and missing probs!

those look like the baileys db26 dump valves, if so they tend to leak boost at low manifold pressure which is how they are designed apparently.

Thats not good then!
