This is my winter car turned project car while my G35 sleeps for winter this is my daily.
Its a quick story time, Skip to the bottom of this post for pics.
With that being said Heres the quickest way to brief you on this car.
Car is from South Carolina and came up here to NY with its 3rd owner to what i understand to be around 2006. It floated a couple owners and seen it on craigslist twice over the years. Well my friend Mark traded it for a old BMW E30 then began fixing her up as it was well abused and in MAJOR need of attention and money . After working on it twice over the course a year i was obsessed with it. Keep in mind im a HUGE nissan guy having owned about 10 240s, 4x4 Hardbody on 33's,sentra winter beaters etc.
Well guess what, he was looking to sell all his cars to buy one. I literally met up with him and drop stack of cash his way the next day.
Heres my post from Galant vr4.org
Car:
'91 Belize Green Galant Vr4 |AWS|AWD|
As it was bought:
~Turbo back 2.5in exhaust w/ Magnaflow twin tip muffler
~2.5in pipping with some FMIC (Knowing the PO's its probably Ebay)
~Big 16g turbo from evo 8
~560cc injectors from evo 8
~Walbro Fuel pump
~Act 2600? clutch
~KYB Gr2's
~Ebay FPR with Jegs Fuel pressure gauge
~Some Random BOV.
~AEM Filter that adds mad HP yo!. (being replaced since its GLUED onto the EBAY MAF and its so dirty idk how its getting air.
~S13 SE 240sx wheels hahaha.
Ive had this car to work on for almost a week in my free time for a friend and basically heres what i got the first day:
~Idle screw set to idle car at 2700
~Found 3 blown fuses with a small metal wire wrapped around boths sides of the fuse so it wouldn't blow.
~Passenger wiper looks like it would fit on a ATV if ATVs had wipers
~Glued on air filter to the MAF and its SO DIRTY. but someone decided to keep it bc its a AEM (MAD HP YO!)
~Both front axle bearings are bad
~PCV valve missing and stripped out on valve cover.
~Wiring... on 7 plugs someone must of broke the soder and put the plug on but the wires were just JAMMED in there.
~slight Overheating due to Bad fan relay and fan not on at all.
~Syncos in 1st, 2nd, and reverse are half way to shot. (have a spare Trans in my garage )
~Radiator seems to be pushed down 2 inches with no top support bars...
~4 vacuum lines on the Intake manifold that weren't capped or being used.
And so on...
Current Mod List

THE PLAN
Here in NY we do things differently.
Winter:
Snow is a big part of our winter months, to make use of that i want to compete in Ice racing up here in the awd car class for the 2013-2014 season. this year is just a learning curve
Spring/Summer/Fall
- SCCA AutoX
With that being said im shooting for 400hp. Any more is a bonus.
....The "To Do" list, Most parts already stock piled.
-Used AWD subframe with NO AWS so it sits at stock specs. Im not happy the way the Rear steering Delete came out.
-New fuel lines. 3/8 hardline for the fuel feed and 5/16 for the return
-New brake hardlines, and rubber ones if they have to be replaced. Why? ...Why not
-TONS of little things like carrier bearing, new front wheel bearings, interior stuff etc
Motor being pulled
-Complete Engine Harness and dash harness getting replaced.
-Block honed, hot tanked, deck resurfaced. new piston rings etc. Basically freshen up the bottom end.
-Head is getting 3g lifters, valvesprings retainers, 272 cams etc.
-Either keeping Big 16g or selling and getting a Garret 3076r
-Might 5lug swap it off a 1g eclipse
-Brakes, they have slotted rotors and new pads all around might leave alone unless going 5lug.
Tons of other stuff but ill post more as i go.
AND NOW THE PART SOME OF YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!
EDIT: Vids dont work right. Will be thrown on Vimeo or Youtube soon.
