Great great car, just watching it and having a quick glance over in the pits you can tell it's a "proper" drift car

I quite like the graphics Scotty had on this and his r34 tbh, but without graphics looks much better

Totally! I actually didn't like them at all when I saw the intial pics in the ad. In the skin they look great but it doesn't translate well in 2d ie pictures. They look shit-hot on Hexham-Scottys R34 as they progess UP the side of the car (i think it's due to the R34 having taller/bigger panels, more room) whereas on the PS13 they can look a bit fussy/crammed in/all over the place due to its flatter profile.

Thanks dude, cheers for all the comments from everyone. Hopefully one day I'll be good enough to drift this thing to it's limits.

Finally got the vinyl off. It was SOOOOOO much easier with the heatgun (major thanks Tritalc for lending it out). The paint still peeled in sections of the sideskirts and rear bumper but the overfenders remain ok.
It looks fantastic imo, I can actually see a ps13 now!.
Heres how it looks:





I left the stickers on the rear bumper in the meantime as they're peeling the paint quite badly. I don't see the point in sorting the issue at the moment as I'll inevitably smash it off at some point and need it repaired in future. I've still to take a few more stickers off and remove the gummy residue off the panels but the pics give you the general idea.

I've also bought new wheels which will be arriving tomorrow. They may raise an eyebrow or two so I look forward to opinions.

It's a standard VVT blacktop thats been dropped in along with the g'box. Just bolt on/breathing mods with profec boost controller (always set at standard boost) so I would imagine around 240bhp and similar torques. It's more than enough at my level.

Not at all, the car was imported last December with the majority of the current modifications already in place bar the cage and a few other things. It's also standard Nissan white inside out.

Lol git . It's going down as far as it can without being annoyingly impractical (like my last PS13). There are a number of faulty/worn rose joints on the vehicle so I'm getting them all done for peace of mind and geometry settings will be adjusted as they are a little off atm. So enquires as to how low I should go will be made at that time.
Although I'd love to go major low the reality is I don't want epic fails on speedbumps, sudden inclines etc.
Theres other bits n bats to be done too. It's in the pipeline for next week.
