NISSAN GTIR PULSAR JDM Legend Restoration | Reviving a Japanese Icon 

Wouldn't be much of a car channel if we binned every car now would it 😅, Glad you're on our side 😁

Great to know this !! Especially the part about front mounted intercooler without cutting holes. I've heard they run a lot better with the front mount. Mine isn't in the best condition and I don't have the covers etc so something definitely to explore in the future

@@identitycarcare477 the upgraded core for the Top mount is pretty good but Top mounts always suffer a bit of heat soak. FMIC is usually going to be a simpler and better option the re cored TMIC cost a bit

Thanks very much, it means a lot ♥️

About time, it's been holding the full project up for years 🤷

Thanks, hopefully it won't be long before we have it out on road trips that we can share with you all

Thanks for the support. I'm glad to have another Gtir owner watching.

Should be weekly episodes on this the whole of January, we have it pencilled it for a road trip so we have to get it running and road worthy. After that on the long term we'll be working in even more depth across all areas of the car to bring it back to it's former glory so there's a lot of content to come from this car

Probably makes more financial sense to fix it but thanks for the comment all the same, We're always trying to improve the quality of the videos and the cars to cater for more people.

There's a red one a couple miles from me that Tommy owns 500bhp absolutely immaculate. I was speaking with him last week about it, he said it's a bit much of a handful to enjoy on the roads. I think mine needs set up on the Dyno tbh as it's been stroked to 2.1 with forged pistons but running standard injection rates. From what I've heard these cars are monsters even below 300bhp so I'm hoping I can get it set up and show you guys in this series

@@identitycarcare477 absolutely are sleepers thats savage aye ano the one you mean is it in Ayrshire if so a think a know of the guy who owns it has it done like 22,000 miles its mint ! Hes tryna sell it on fb marketplace he shouldn’t you just dont see pulsars anymore or old subarus pre 2006 a dont want a modern one coz tax is £700 a paid £1750 way a years mot bought from Cumbria needs a little welding or rear turrets but bar that cant complain 90% of its been undersealed subframe been replaced and undersealed before i bought my xt , thats what killed my previous s turbo forester subframe snapped shilst driving !

Yeah that's Tommy's. Think he said it's only covered 3 miles between last Mots. Never seen rain in the last 10 years. I have a 2004 blob eye scooby on the channel which will be making a return in the coming weeks. Unfortunately though it's reliable and I don't get much content from it 😂. I've been toying with getting a classic and getting torn in about some engine work as I've not got much experience with the flat 4 engines

@@identitycarcare477 every Subaru impreza av tried too buy was rotten uk 2000 in Kilmarnock welded 4 times in green was better nick than a wrx way 66k 140k a bugeye wrx bugeye in Barrhead rotbox nail 8 ownwers no history, a 1 owner in east kilbride blobeye wagon blue 66k most rotten Subaru av ever seen defo had a dodgy mot rad half missing subframe was bad , might aswell keep xt for a few years than buy a jdm impreza or a manual legacy gtb twin turbo tried too buy one aswell but the guy was so dodgy tried too rush me into buying it was solid but no history hope a one a blobeye one day a dont care about miles its the bodywork at end of day !

@@andrewjohnson7960 Mine was imported 2018 I'm sure. It had a full paint job in Japan I think which wasn't the best, since I got it I've has both rear quaters, scoop, and back bumper painted. It's easy to forget 2004 was 20 years ago and they now need kept on top of to keep them in good condition.
