I'm sure you guys have seen plenty of these but one more won't hurt :p. Surprised i haven't seen one here already. Mine's a 1994 Series 1 R33 M-Spec, and has the rare (apparently) Active-LSD rear diff.

The wheels are Racing Sparco NS-II Pythons, but it's missing the center caps from the previous owner, which are proving quite hard to track down.
It runs Bilstein coilovers on all 4 corners, along with front and rear strut braces. The brake discs are still stock and will get some attention soon, but it runs EBC pads. Currently on Federal SS595 tyres which are impressing me both with grip and longevity.
The interior focus (sorry for the crappy shot) has just been on trying to restore everything for the moment, as i got it in pretty crappy condition. It has a Momo Champion steering wheel, Razo pedals and nismo leather shifter. I've put in a decent stereo with Eclipse head unit, front and rear amplified splits and subwoofer (12" - enough to be nice inside the car, but not enough to shake the neighbourhood).

Dyno sheet:

The engine is an internally stock RB25DET, lightly modded with lots of plans. Again, the focus so far has been getting everything 100%, which i've recently managed to achieve, and she's running like a dream. Money's been spent on:
- Blitz front-mount cooler
- Turbo-back 3" exhaust
- K&N Filter
- Splitfire coilpacks
- Turbosmart bleed valve to give 9psi
It runs relatively expensive oils and is maintained religiously, just because i'm like that..
This setup was dynoed at 181.9rwkW with an exhaust leak (between manifold and turbine) which i wasn't aware of at the time. As you can see on the dyno sheet, the stock ECU is playing with timing at the top end, as well as running bloody rich, so i'm looking at a new computer right now as the stockers are near impossible to flash/retune.
As it is, the car is great fun to drive, sounds awesome, pulls hard (probably has a mid 13 in it as is) and isn't even too bad in the twisties. More to come as more money arrives in my bank account... :p
