This is my new baby, Bought with the money after selling the S13.
At least that damn Silvia was good for something.

Its a 1984 Nissan N12 ET Pulsar Turbo.

This is a great car to drive. when it comes on boost it pulls very hard.
i keep up with alot of cars twice my size and power.

The Car is now boosting up to 12 PSI, so estimations are around 90Kw or 120RWHP, not bad for a 1.5lt.

UPDATE!! THE CAR HAS BEEN DYNOED AT 105.9KW @ THE FRONT WHEELS!!

THATS 140BHP!

After this dyno run, i have found out that the turbo has a small crack in the housing, and the turbine itself has some play in its bushes. also there was a leaky turbo/exhaust gasket, AND the car leaned out int he higher revs.

Also the Guys at Pulsar parts have found the source of the ET's tempromental behaviour, A wrongly wired ECU. The Air Flow Meter was wired into the wrong terminal. now afer some re-wiring, she runs sweet as pie. and all the gaskets have been replaced. so i reckon if the turbo is feelig up to it, she has a few more KW to dish out.

 NEW UPDATE!

I have just taken out my crappy backyard boost controller system, which was just a bleed valve, and have now replaced it with a new Turbosmart Gated Boost Tee

My ET has the lower mounted Turbo, and the bleed valve was always a real bitch to get to if you ever wanted to adjust it, and wasnt even easy to adjust if you did get to it.

So i picked up this little beauty for $90, and worked some magic on the contecting hoses, to make it accessable from the top.

I cannot speak highly enough of how much better this Boost Tee is, it elimnated the boost spike and makes tuning alot eaisier. im not planning on turning it up any higher, 12 PSI is enough for me now.

Id seriously reccomend these Boost Tee's, they are cheap for the performance you get from them.

HERE ARE JUST SOME MORE SHOTS OF THE CAR I TOOK

nice little ET mate. have you got any plans for it? if you plan on keeping it you should join up with the N12Turbo.com forum. because these little pricks tend to shit themselves a bit and it's always over something stupid! lol! fun little cars to drive though! especially when they make some decent power!!! although it's hard to explain it to people that haven't driven them before. oh and cheers for the comment on my shitty VL/T, although i never bother with the clutch. it steps out plenty just getting up on boost! haha.
