Modifications Movie (3.7 MB WMV File) -- Here is a movie showing the car and some of the modifications.  I think it is a cool clip, and I am specially proud of the sound track.  Please note: The new Stillen exhaust on the car is has dual tips, and there is something wrong with the stereo, which I never bothered to fix - so disregard the reference to a 300 watt stereo system.  

But then again, I didn't really buy this car to listen to the stereo.  Although I have all the original speakers installed in the car, with the exception of the center speaker (which I still have).  You will also be getting two trunk speaker boxes that fit neatly and securely in the read of the car.  And that's were the real sound comes from.  The head unit is an Alpine CD system.  And I also have the original radio/tape deck that came with the car.
Full Race Setup - Lime Rock Park
Pocono International Raceway
Autocross Set-up, MSW Wheels, 8.5" 245-45-17 Front, 9.5" 275-45-17 Rear
Watkins Glen Raceway, another good shot of the MSW Wheels
"Street Trim", here you can see the included set of SSRs 17" Wheels, 8.5" Front Kuhmo Victor Racer 245-45-17, 9.5" Rear Kuhmo Victor Racer 275-45-17
Here you can also see the Stillen GTZ side skirts and rear wing
Rear wing and a good view of the Stillen Dual tip Exhaust System.
Another good view of the SSRs, here you can see the rear Wing, and how low the car actually is.  But, don't worry, it still clears my driveway.
It's this wide stance and a lot of guts that some day may allow you to go flat-out on the downhill at Lime Rock.  It's the ride of your life.  Also, another good shot of the Stillen Dual tip exhaust.  Note: 10/01/05, it was about 50 degrees outside, if you look carefully, you can see steam coming out of the exhaust pipes.
By the time you see this in your rearview mirror it's too late!  Notice, the front custom stainless grill, dual neoprene hoses and NACA Ducts for brake cooling.  Also, the center panel has functional air inlets for the dual JWT intake system.  In-fact, they let so much cool air in, that sometimes, depending on the race track, you have to adjust intake air by taping a few of them shut.
ENGINE -- For more pictures and information see the specs page

This is the business side of the car.  This engine was designed to spool up very fast, the turbos kick in around 4000 RPM and keep going, pushing you back in the seat until to the red line.  The dual blow-off-valves (lower right and left of the picture) are very loud and are the only clue to someone being left behind of how serious this engine is.  It is tight in there, if you ever worked on a Z32 TT engine you know what I mean.  The blue hoses are vacuum lines that connect the low and high pressure side of the intake system to the HKS boost controller mounted to the firewall (top left of picture).  Then, there is a whole series of vacuum hoses and filters, connecting the HKS Boost controller to the Blow-of-valves.

The radiator is a custom aluminum radiator, about 3 times the side of the factory unit, it's massive, and it works!  The temperature never goes past 96-98 degrees Celsius (the water gauge is in Celsius).  The blue aluminum adaptor on the radiator hose is for the auxiliary Water Temperature Gauge in the glove box.

Just in case you are wondering why the fluid in the brake reservoir is orange, that's MOTUL600, the only fluid I found that can survive the demands of race day.  And yes, the engine bay is this clean!
Speed with comfort -- that's what I call the inside with the interior reinstalled. Notice the Roll Cage top hoop just at the top of the seat.
The Cockpit -- This is your control center for the ride of your life. Notice the auxiliary boost gauge on the left A pillar and the competition pedals.  And although you don't see them in these picture the car comes with custom Z mats that are in perfect condition and match the interior carpet color.
Another look at the driver's view
Driver's Seat -- But to go for a ride you have to strap on -- this is a good view of the 5 point harness, crotch belt is under the seat.
Passenger Seat -- Yes, they get to be strapped in as well, but I only have 4 belts installed.  I have the parts to install the crotch belt as well, but my wife never really appreciated that.
Roll Cage -- Here's a good view of the Roll Cage from the inside.  Notice the fire extinguisher is right within reach.
The Glove Box -- Not your typical glove box, it hides an Exhaust Temperature Gauge, which is selectable by a switch between right and left exhaust banks.  Then an auxiliary Water Temperature Gauge, the HKS Boost Controller, and the Greddy Turbo Timer.  By the way, this glove box has been tested at speed over 165 MPH at back straight, just before reaching the bus stop at Watkins Glen.
Roll Cage -- Here is the custom roll cage with the protection padding installed, this makes the safer and stiffer, which contributes to the vertigo inducing cornering forces this car can generate.
