Exclamation Evo VIII from Austria (ETS Intercooler)

Hy everyone!
I wan´t to show you my ´03 VIII GSR, i´m from Austria (no Kangaroos, we have cows ), currently 26 years old.

Here are some pics of my car.
I bought it from a 55 year old man, who used it for wet drifting, so it had already some mods like:
HKS Head Gasket 1mm
ARP Connecting Bolt Set
ARP Cylinder Head Bolts
Ralliart Radiatorcap 1.3 Bar
Walbro 255l/h Fuelpump
Baumschlager Rally Racing Downpipe
Oil Temp Gauge
Evo 9 Turbo
EMD – Schwemmin Map + ALS


As you can see in the engine bay, there is some rust near the suspension, that´s also something which has to be fixed.

Greets, Sascha

Today i brought my Evo to my local tuner, which is also a Bilstein Coilover Partner. They install me a Bilstein B14 PSS and a Milltek CatBack Exhaust.




I also put some stickers on my car, cause i will take part in the Austroball-Rally:





Currently i´m thinking of getting a FP Manifold or a Ported OEM, not sure about that at the moment :/

Picked my VIII up with new Bilstein B14 Coilovers and Milltek Catback. Drives nice and clean, not too hard. Also the Milltec in combination with the Decat spitts nice Flames

Two pics of my car:

Thank you for your thumbs up Have fun with your Car!!

Today i mounted the GoPro on the rear bumper, cause a friend told me i shoot flames.

So here are three pics of it. The Evo runs a EMD - Electronic Motorsport Device´s ECU with a mild Anti Lag.

Some small Updates from me, at first i want to thank you for your comments

I orderer a DoLuck Style PU Frontlip, will be installed soon, and as a nice performance part an 3" ETS Intercooler.

Can´t wait to receive this piece of art, i switched daily between AMS and ETS, but i think i get more bang for bucks with the ETS, also all the good review here sounded perfect.



In the meantime i gave my Evo a nice wash an polish, now i just wait for the rain to end for some pics
I also will remove the license plate at the front because my Rexpeed Carbon Air Ducts won´t fit and i just find it awful with a plate at the front.

Here is a vid of my car making some Pops and Bangs:

I have suggestion: speak to Kikiturbo member about your performance setup purchases/direction, he is not far from you.

See, for example ECU(Kikiturbo tunes and can advise in general), no reason to go to aftermarket when OEM is fantastic and has all anti-lag, launch control, multi maps/flex fuel, flat shift, and every other option/ability!

Many parts on market for Evo are only there to sell.
Rally cars cannot change parts- and yet are super fast.

Our roads/parts availability and driving environment is very different from Austria, so you need local knowledge to tailor your car to suit.

Thank you! At the moment on all boarders round austria, slovenia and croatia its not very safe to drive through. There are thousand and thousand of refugees from syria. The set there tents on fire and so on

But i have a local Haltech/Tuning partner in lower austria, which also runs a R32 Drag Skyline with over 1300HP. He is a great guy and i think my following engine upgrade will be done by him. I want to go forged, FP Turbo etc. So at the moment some parts are oversized. Intercooler for example
