As the name says I'm Eric, and I live in The Netherlands.
Been a car fanatic since the day I got my licence and had a couple of fun cars over the years...
300ZX TT
GTI-R No. 1
V70R
850T5
Sierra Cosworth 2wd no. 3
Sierra Cosworth no.4 (sadly no pics for Sierra Cosworth 1 and 2...)
Peugeot 205 gti turbo no. 1 +/- 200bhp
Peugeot 205 GTI Turbo 466bhp
Peugeot 106 Turbo aprox. 200bhp
Impreza without engine, bought for Cosworth engine transplant, never finished it...
Impreza with engine
Evo 5
I've also had a bunch of Peugeot 205's with anything but the original engine under the bonnet, a turbo was a minimum requirement ;-)
A few other car's I sadly haven't got pictures from are: about 3 or 4 Escort RS turbo's, Fiesta XR2 S1, Audi RS2, VW Golf GTI type 1 Turbo and I probably forgot a few more.
After selling the 466bhp 205 I wasn't really looking for another car, but saw the GTI-R I now have for sale and got chatting woth the seller.
We agreed on a price (a lot lower then asking price, car was running like crap, was almost white instead of red on some places etc) and I picked it up.
After Googling a bit for info on this car I found an old link to this site where the ad comes up from the guy I bought it from, so I thought I'd take a look here.
The car looked like this on the ad, reality was a bit different...
I bought it around 1.5 years ago, it was running extremely bad beacause of a completely wrong mapping, afr's were all over the lace, ignition timing wrong etc...
So when I got around to mapping it and trying to get it running right the head gasket blew...beacause of the headstud being allmost loose....
Thanks to the guy who built and mapped the car...
After that I kind of didn't get around to doing anything on it for a while, but since last October I've been stripping it an got to a new start with it.
A few pics of the last half year:
On the way to the workshop
958bhp on/under the lift
A nice "newish" gearbox
With gearbox brace fitted
At the moment this is how the car looks.
Most of the bodywork has been done, windows have to be put back in and then I can get started under the bonnet.
Will be quite a while before the engine can go back in since I'm a bit of a picky guy...everything has to look like new when I open the bonnent, so a lot of cleaning, sanding, painting will be done and a big bundle of cash for new bolts, brackets, clips, etc..will be spent I'm afraid...
Very nice!!!
really nice looking job and love the previous cars as well.
That must be a rare R since its left had drive. Iv read that nissan only made a handfull of LHD models so im glad theres atleast gonna be one thats taken care of.

I used to search the German version of autotrader for GTi-Rs, as theirs were all left hand drive. Looks like you're doing an amazing job with the rebuild. Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing.
ewaldperformance.com
The German Autotrader is a good one, but www.mobile.de also is a very big site with a few GTI-R's on it.
A few parts that arrived yesterday, still waiting on some since they are in backorder....
where did you order your turbo. and what size is it.
It's a GT3071R and I got it from www.Turbocentrum.de
Should do the job quite nicely.
Small update.. ;-)
After a period of a lot of work to just about every car but mine, I had a couple of days to get started on it again.
Put the engine back together, fitted the gearbox and put the lot back in it's place.
This is how the car is at the moment, maybe I'll get around to doing some more in the next few weeks but if the customers keep coming in like they have been the last few months, it could take a while to update this topic.
simply beutiful I wish I had the time to do all that... good for you... oh and where did you get that transmission brace
Mine isn't bigger than yours.. I just like to drive
Nice job!That is one of my braces!
A few pictures of the last couple of weeks.

The windows have to go in and then it's on the road again.
Such a nice restore job man, car looks brand new and I freakin love that color.
Noticed there is no maf, are you planning on running a MAP sensor instead and what will you be doing for tuning?
I'm already running a map sensor, DTA S60 Pro is taking care of the management.
It has to be mapped again since the GT2876R has been changed into a GT3071R.
What to do....?
Leave the wheels as they are or paint them matte black...??
