Xoulu's GTR Build 2011-2012
Hey All
Sorry for the long delay in this process but finally got the time to sit down and start my build on Acurazine. As you all know I won the car from eBay For memebers who have not read on it here it is Basically I got back to Alaska and ordered some parts. First thing I ordered were TIRES! Needed blizzaks as winter was already coming. I also did a oil change. Well lets start with the build! 8/25/2011 My Birthday! Picked up the GTR http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/6537/photokos.jpg http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...0_878939_n.jpg The same day I dropped off the car to get it wrap (White on Carbon Fiber)to protect it from road conditions driving it back to Alaska. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-X...811%252529.JPG http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._4784639_n.jpg http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._5568230_n.jpg http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._4828521_n.jpg This is where I got to meet members oo7spy and Majofo. Too bad oo7spy had to leave but Majofo got to test drive the GTR :thumbsup: One last picture as I left Texas! http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...43028768_n.jpg On the way back we took some pictures but my friend didn't give me those pictures and he lost it so no road trip pictures =( Anyways as of 2/8/2012 I have no performance parts installed as waiting for better weather to permit. Parts I have in hand are Performance AAM Downpipe AAM Midpipe Nissan 2012 Inlet Pipe XS Power Exhaust GotBoost Intake GotBoost upper I/C with HKS BOV4 ID 1000cc Injectors Stage 2 transmission build by Shep (with this I can launch the car without worry of a broken tranny lol) Exterior Full wrap of either matte black or orange (This is already paid for just waiting to take it in the shop to get it wrap and choose color) Two sets oem wheels (one winter and one summer) Wingless trunk Clear front and side markers LED Running lights |

If it's done right, I would guess it should last a few years. |

Thanks for the update, OP!
You so deserve to enjoy the hell out of your GT-R, even during the winter. As someone who drives a supercar during the winter myself, I give you major props for doing the same. :thumbsup: |

GREAT NEWS EVERYONE!
Going to install all my parts next week Friday! (2/17/2012) My install will cost me $1650... Price breakdown Downpipe Midpipe and Exhaust -$650 Intake and Upper pipe with BOV - $455 Injectors - $390 Heat wrap - $155 I'm getting all my parts heat wrapped and installed. The installer advised he should get the car done by Wednesday by latest. He said he will take pictures of getting it heat wrapped and install for me. I also forgot to mention that I will be dynamatting my whole car. I will use dynamat xtreme and estimate is about 90 sq feet of it lol... for roof, front, floor, rear, door and trunk. Anyways here are pictures below of the parts... Some of the parts are still in the box so I'll use the manufacturer pictures but I will get the pictures of the parts once I get it to install Gotboost Upper IC http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/l...-black-web.jpg Gotboost 3" intake http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/l.../Car/028-2.jpg AAM Midpipe http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/l...r/DSC_0439.jpg My duckbill trunk http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/l...9_1000x666.jpg My summer stock wheels http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/l...r/IMG_0139.jpg http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/l...r/IMG_0140.jpg Injectors http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/l...e1-950x501.jpg Daylight Running light http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/l...r/IMG_0454.jpg http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/l...r/IMG_0452.jpg |
After my parts install I will be getting a tune from Sean Ivey.
Hopefully I'll make about 550-600whp on 90 octane. I'm sure it would be more if it was on 93 or e85. |
Here is the peel... well not really a peel but yeah... the black paint is still in MINT condition but it's fine I'm getting rewrapped and this time it will be done properly!
http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-...31285132_n.jpg Here is a picture of it parked at work when it was below 0 and ice started to build up on my wing! http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...42537834_n.jpg Here is a picture of it in snow... This was the first time it snowed last year which was 10/30/11 http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...56752866_n.jpg http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...84147410_n.jpg Just incase anyone is wondering... I have two sets of gun metal stock wheels. 1 set is for winter and the other set is for summer until I'm able to afford some expensive wheels lol |
5-7 years under the correct parameters and not streched.
Vinyl is a very temperamental material, at about 40f it gets VERY brittle. Anything sustained under that, and its longevity will fall into the 6 months to one year range. Also, if it has been heated and "wrapped" it suffers a little. In for the the updates. :thumbsup: |
Xuolo....SICK update bro....
i freaken love this car....to the core.... cant wait for the vids and the exhaust tone.... |
