Meet OCTZILLA :)

Little update:

 

Went to Kaizer Motor yesterday to have the 60 months major service done on OCTZILLA. Arrived there bright and early, about 7:30am to avoid the chaos on M25 & A2. Sly arrived about 8:00am and soon after Aston turned up, too.

Everytime I go there, there's always a nice selection on GTRs in different upgrade stages or colours :lol: Yesterday I found this lot in:

While Sly and Aston were shifting cars around and getting my car on the ramp I went inside the "trophy room" :lol: for a quick tea.

Car on the ramp, time to get serious :lol:

Part of the 60 month service, you need to change the brake lines, so good excuse to upgrade to Goodridge Phantom lines and Motul RBF660

Also as part of the service car had full alignment done

Oil and filters changed, coolant topped up, brakes pads and discs are perfect with lots of life left in them, tyres are new. Spark plugs replaced also. Optimisation carried out. Belt replaced and 2 bearings in some little tensioners were also replaced as they were having some play in them.

Left about 3pm

Didn't get a chance to have the new Ecutek 5 in it as apparently there is a little bug in the software/mapping which Litchfield and Ecutek are working on to sort out. Oh, well, that's a good excuse to go back to Kaizer Motor again, best place for a GTR (or any Nissan!) to visit in South Easth :lol:

 

My brother from another mother DarrenB also popped by to say hello, which is always nice :)

 

As usual, the customer service and Nissan technical knowledge is by far the best I've experienced so far in 6 years of Nissan ownership. Every single question answered in detail, I got to hang around cars and see exactly what was happening, very honest and transparent, you don't get any better than that. It's about 60 miles from where I live, but well worth the drive.

 

Thanks Sly and Aston and see you guys again very soon!

You guys don't get it, I'M NOT MODDING THIS CAR!

 

It was Sly's option to put the brake lines on, that's what he uses as standard, as part of the service. I haven't asked for it, nor supply it.

 

In other news, just order a better TT kit for the GTR! :drive1

Well except minor, very minor bits :lol:

 

Got rid of the horrible bonnet stick and fitted some carbon fibre struts:

Also replaced some of the ugly and rusty OEM bolts with TORQEN black titanium ones:

I said except minor bits!!! Modifying means AMS 4.0 forged engine, bigger turbos, crazy Rocket Bunny wide body kit, full titanium Amuse R1 exhaust, car sprayed in candy apple red, all suspension bits replaced with SPL and Ohlins etc :lol: :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Don't ask me how I know all the above, I did not look into it!!! :lol:

Got the v5 yet? Spoke to Iain, £250+VAT to upgrade to stage 4 from stage 2 with the v5, they won't release it to others yet until they've made enough money :)

 

I'm getting the Gotboost intakes in black with green filters, want a set too? :lol:

They look decent.... Not got v5 yet, waiting for Ian to map up a set of ID injectors as he had issues with it remotely. Then I will go for it! Intakes at the same time sounds like a plan.... When you ordering?

looking good :)

 

Finally got mine back.... and got it cleaned. Booked in to get stone chips and minor things fixed in Jan and the MX5 is being supercharged for some track day fun :D

 

Sly must feel like he has lost a limb...

 

David

 

Im sure he does :D

Ordered mine already, I can add a set for you. Do you want the injectors as well? ID1000cc?
