The History and Paperwork

All work on the vehicle has been carried out independently, with the last oil and filter change completed at Somerset Car Repairs Ltd
The car has covered 106,221 miles
Please note there is limited service history due to the DIY nature of the long-term restoration
The Interior
It boasts new Bride seats along with new carpets and door panels
The interior exhibits little to no signs of wear with all electrical aspects in working condition
Comes with Defi boost and oil pressure gauges, a Gizzmo boost controller, and Takata harnesses
Features a hydraulic handbrake with a catch for locking/parking and a battery kill switch installed both inside and outside
The Exterior
The bodywork displays minimal signs of corrosion and is in good condition
Paintwork is an eye-catching Mars Red which is in excellent condition barring slight scratches and chips
The vehicle comes with a Fabricage bolt-in roll cage and a cover for protection
The Mechanics
The engine was completely rebuilt and forged by the renowned Dave Yandell of DY Engine Services who specialise in high-performance Japanese engines such as the Nissan SR20DET in 2016
Additional engine upgrades include a Garett 2871r with T3.64 exhaust housing and a Nistune ECU with an estimated output of 420bhp
Mechanics are in excellent condition but regular maintenance is recommended to keep it running to desired standards
Comes with new Competition White Bunny stage 4 kit Clutch + FlyWheel, 5-speed manual and a welded 4:1 ratio differential
Fitted suspension includes HSD Monopro coilovers and Hardrace rear camber arms
The vendor reports that there is a bit of wear can be felt on driveshafts due to the differential which is normal to happen after welding
We are also told there is some intermittent VVT rattle on idle
He states that this is not of mechanical concern and has no impact on performance
This is a common occurrence on these engines and everything else is on point
