mas12555 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Today I took delivery of one of my dream cars. A genuine import Nissan March turbo. By what I have been told this is the only one in England and there is only two in Ireland. Only pictures I got of the car. A very happy me. Has a digital dash. switch for parking lights. loads of cool japanese quirks. Has a sodding dynograph on the steering wheel. Plans? well it needs alot of work. need to do some welding, repaint alot of things on the car. currently has a bigger turbo. Its alot quicker than 85bhp. It flys down the road. So will be getting emanage for it, map it, new fuel pump, bigger front brakes as it comes factory with standard uk spec brakes which are tiny and solid discs. so its scary. Also feels like it has an uprated clutch. its currently on cut springs so will be getting some uprated kyb shocks and lowering springs. The seats need a whole retrim as well.Already bought a set of wheels for it! some old school compomotives. going to look cool on the car. Please note there is a 4th wheel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The car is from bulgaria. was in bulgaria since 1992! Need to register it all myself which is quite a hard task. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bluebear Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Didn't you say you were thinking of getting the standard turbo and return it to stock mechanicals? Looks bloody mint though! No sign of rust I assume? (I know that claimed your old red one) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No sign of rust I assume? (I know that claimed your old red one)I was going to but tonight I went through the parts and the old orignal turbo is naffed. turbine has been munched and theres over 10mm of play! So the bigger turbo is saying now. just going to get the car mapped for the that turbo. car has had new sills, holes patched up and few other little things. rear arches look good although they are badly rolled. also need to finish off welding the sill as its only spot welded.

mas12555 Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 had a look at the turbo. Its a garret. looks like a gt15 ar43. apparently good for 200bhp those turbos. according to garret. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mas12555 Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 More I work on it the more I realise how unloved and tatty this car was. fuel tanks coming out tomorrow. whole interior strip. So i can then weld up any holes and law some nice new sound deadening down. Rear strut mounts are getting quite rotten so they need attention. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mas12555 Posted November 6, 2016 Author Share Posted November 6, 2016 There is alot of rust on this car. rear top mounts are shot, lots of little holes everywhere, rear arches, needs alot of work. Looks like I got alot of welding to do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mas12555 Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 Had the car a month now and still cracking on. Found even more rust. Pessanger floorpan is naffed. close to welding in a whole new passenger floor pan. Got a few parts coming. March electric mirrors, new cluster, rear number plate lights, bosch 044 pump, sun roof seal and a few other little bits. Also went to the scrap yard this weekend to get some replacement rear strut mounts. Also should be sorcing a replacement mid spoiler, wind deflectors, side repeaters and window winders. Also been thinking. since the t15 is so bodged on. once its on the road and working I am half tempted to td04 the car, super turbo LSD gearbox, nistune, charge cooler and run about 180bhp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mas12555 Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 The pulsar calipers came yesterday. I forgot how big they are. Can remember why they just fit under 14" wheels. Not much progress at the moment its getting cold and weather has been crap. I am waiting for a cheap unit to come up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
