wizurd Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Thanks to some supra owning friends of mine decided to go to the above open day in Caldicot on Saturday. Some really good looking cars, supra's, gtr's and a stunning 240z! Firstly Ian's Supra really nice looking car. Those bride seats look fantastic and i really like the gold/silver BBS wheels. The whifbitz supra. Stripped out and running i believe around 1300bhp. Mental Turbo on that is ridiculously huge lol More supra joy They've got a 1000BHP GTR as well - lost the bloody photos of most of it though apart from the engine To be fair it was a fairly standard looking gtr i thought from the outside but that power would make for a nice surprise Also saw a nice R33 skyline as well. Really liked the colour. Doesn't come out well on my mobile pics but had a kind of metallic purple look to it. Really nice. If i could afford to run more than one performance car i'd love one of these And then my favorite car present. Never seen one in the flesh before but love the look of these Loveeeeee 240z's Thanks for looking. I'll try to get a proper camera next time and get some proper shots. Spent too much time talking cars though and pretty much forgot to take pics lol 3 Quote
Keyser Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Nice pics thanks for shairing That Turbo is mahoosive Quote
GMballistic Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) Very cool wizurd. Where is WhifBitz garage based then? Edit: ignore me ~ Caldicot. Edited April 14, 2014 by GMballistic Quote
davedutch Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 That 240z looks fab, well restored, this was my favourite car when I was younger, always preferred it to the 280z , it's what got me looking for my 350z last year. Showing my age a little! Quote
wizurd Posted April 14, 2014 Author Posted April 14, 2014 cheers That turbo is a bullseye s383 apparently. Runs up to 2.4 bar of pressure! not an expert on turbo's but that's huge isnt it. Quote
gsexr Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Worked on the odd 240 back in the day. Liked em then and still like em now..........mind that red stuff though Quote
wizurd Posted April 14, 2014 Author Posted April 14, 2014 The garage is in Caldicot. Severn Bridge industrial estate. Hopefully he'll put up another open day and i'll have the zed running to take along. Gotta agree about the 240z. Such a good looking car. Reminds me of an american muscle car. The rear is stunning as well. Must get pics of that next time. Quote

leonk Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 Nice pics and cars mate, love the 240z. Thanks! " Hopefully I'll have the Zed running " ........... Is it not running at the moment? Quote

I am going to have to get a proper camera and just take more 240z pics lol Don't worry the zeds fine lol Just not running because plenum is off and other bits. Parts will start going back on now ready for May. Gotta get her up and fit the new exhaust soon. Sooooo tempted to get more parts but limiting myself since 1. I've spent enough for now 2. running out of time to do everything i want to. Body work will be my next area to concentrate on after may i think. Although would love to do what Ian and others are doing and put a v8 in her. Quote

wizurd Posted April 14, 2014 Author Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) lol rust would make sense. i worry enough about it on the 350z. God knows how i'd cope on the 240 Edited April 14, 2014 by wizurd Quote
mattross1313 Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 Nice pics, makes me want a Supra again Is that JamieP's GTR? I seem to remember he was aiming for around 1000bhp! Must be insane! Quote
wizurd Posted April 15, 2014 Author Posted April 15, 2014 As far as I know it's the whifbitz gtr. Should of got some more pics. Do love the look of the gtr's. Little out of my price league though lol. That 1300bhp supra must be mental to drive. Quote
