Im getting excited

Not sure if any one is interested but here i go,
I had a P10 Just made to look good, with good sounds & T.V. BUT
Im picking up my new toy tonight
1998 P11, Face lift, White, Factory body kit, Factory dark tinted windows, the twin head lights that most of you guy a lusting over, JIC adjustible coilovers, Stanless extactors, Full big bore with stanless muffler, Mines ECU, Nismo LSD, Padle clutch, short shift, K&N filter. etc.etc
CANT WAIT.....

Nice work grunter...hope you will post some pics up of it.

Whats the body kit ?
Wheels?
What have you done with your P10?

Well body kit is.... um..... Factory TE spec i think, i will hunt down a pic of one.

It has 15" five spoke, star shaped (at the moment)

I still got my P10,

Im going to try on my P10's Chrome wheels, but not sure if they will look any good (BIG chrome wheels on White car)

I will do a mission this weekend and find a digital camera for some pics..

Cheers Grunter

Well i guess with your mags you could do a trade in for some new ones and put the P11's onto the P10.

Did you get the car from your town or do you shop around a bit ?

I got it of a guy in Timaru, He imported off the internet for his mum, but when i arrived with all the trick bits, it was not suited (His mum is 68)

Cheers Grunter

P.S. What do you think of these wheels on a White P11

At least she would have been the coolest looking granny in Timaru :cool: :cool:

Bit hard to see from the pic.....but i've seen the others you have posted and i think you should put them on and just see what it looks like.

Chrome seems to be taking off again with rims so it should look good.

Grunter..


Sounds awesome!! you really made out.. Mine's ECU, JIC coilovers, and Nismo LSD... wow!!! :licker:


I'd stay away from the chrome wheels on the white car. Chrome looks best on darker colors. You may want some nice racing type wheels for such a tuned out car your getting!

Keep the P10 w/ the chrome wheels on it, as it seems more for show. And your P11 can be your big boy with the bad toys!!


good luck with the car!

Chrome looks best on darker colors.
100% with you on that one, i will try them on it and see what it looks like, i am keen on some 17" 7 spoke mags painted white
Nismo LSD is fantastic, strange thing when your not use to it.

Cheers Grunter

Sounds like a sweeeeeeet car!!:)
Pardon my ignorance guys but what is a "Mines" ECU, I haven't heard of them yet.:confused:

Mines is an aftermarket parts maker like Trust in Japan they make kits
and all sorts I think.

I am so lusting after the twin h/lamps for my p10!
Cool car Grunter. Is it a little tricky not sliding around corners
with the LSD?.

Just a few Kiwis in this Thread. Hehe

Yeah, I found the LSD makes a big difference, My T4 P10 has 2 of them - the centre diff and the rear diff. Earlier this year at Pukekohe Raceway, I noticed I couldn't get round the slalom hairpin as quick as the FWD Primeras that were there. It understeered in tight low speed corners but handled neutral in high speed corners.

Know of a website for these "Mines" ECUs?

Giday all,
Havent really chucked it around yet, but the old owner warned me about touque steer.....

The only Mine's page i could find was in Japanese, Here in Chch there are a couple of cars Stickered up like the Mine's cars on GT2

The ECU is a VX-Rom.

Cheers Grunter

O.K. Picked up the car, all going great,
Sick of the clutch (not pratical for round town) and it has Pagid brake pads in it , I dont know if the not suited to the disks or what but the squeal and carry on when you break lightly, so i might put some normal pads back in frt.
But otherwise i love it
Cheers Grunter
P.S. Tryed on my 17" chome wheels on it looks cool

Heres a couple of pic's, the quality is crap but you will get the genral idea
Front

Big extacters, Got to get rid of the pink, also note 8mm Spitfire leads

Looking good :) :)

Have you made up your mind about the wheels yet ??

Cheers,
Yip, im keeping them for now.
It looks way better than i ever thought.
I will try and get some decent quality pics soon
Cheers Grunter

This might show the wheels a bit more?????????????????

See this, on the Air filter box there is a sticker stateing
K&N by Nissmo, so i opened it up and sure enough there is a k&N filter in there , but its purple with Nismo on it.

Here a pic of my old mate Mr Donkey sitting in the cup holder

I can't believe how modded your car is Grunter...cool.
How hard is the ride?

You said the car came with a stainless exhaust, you may want to
check and see how free flowing the Japanese muffler is cos
when I got my G20 it had a trust 2 1/4" muffler on the back with
1 1/2" baffles! You might want to check cos mine goes better
with a free-flow:bloated:

Yip it was bloody hard riding, turned it down last night, seems to be a bit nicer now.
As for the exhaust i am going to get it checked out becouse i think the back presure is a bit wrong.
Cheers Grunter

My suspension is damn hard as well. I thought I'd tell you about
the jap mufflers cos mine blew apart when I was racin across the
Harbour bridge! Get the cat taken out (or gut it) as well.
Hurry up with the pictures..:D

If you want good pads I recommend Bendix Metal kings (don't
touch Silverline at all!!!! I used to sell them!).

Thats what i was thing of puting in it, I used to have Metal King Plus's in my old P10, and they are cheap:)
Cheers Grunter

Sweet Car Grunter. Got some good quality Mods. How many K's had it done when you got it? Was it cheaper than the average price those Primeras are going for considering it was imported directly?

You will have to chuck it on the Dyno to see how much all the mods add up to.:flash:

AWD, It cost me $15,250 + i think about $420 for reg (its more for new import), They way i see it, 1998 face lift with 51,000km has to have a yard price close to $20,000.
Cheers Grunter
And i just a sold my P10, woohoo

And i dont know if you are interested, i got $6,500 for my P10, it was 1991 with 134,000 which had GAB shocks, Jamex springs, Touring car spoiler, Strutbrace, K&N pod filter, Detailed dash, detailed engine bay and the 15" wheels of the P11
Cheers

Someones got a bloody good buy with your old car too.

To be honest it need a wee bit of tidying, Frt bumper and mouldings painted, Both inner frt guards where stuffed, And the timing chain was getting rattly until it got oil presure, So if you spent $2000 on it it would be mint.
Cheers Grant

Sounds like you got a pretty mint deal.
