Fitting Custom Braid Wheels Onto The GTiR 👌 Solo Lap 2024-03-31 | It's that time again when I go buy custom wheels because the perfect fitment (without spacers), just doesn't exist...This time, I went with the Spanish motorsport wheel manufacturer, Braid. Braid are known for extremely tough wheels and they also offer a bespoke service. Many emails, photos and months and here we are.

FRONT RUNNER FOOT REST FITTING IN THE GTIR Solo Lap 2024-02-25 | Short one this week! I stumbled across a company in Aus called Front Runner Motorsport, they make several parts for the GTiR including Nismo replica items such as this footrest.I got talking to them and they made me one in black powder coat (normally they're bare aluminium), and it arrived today :)

HOW TO SETUP YOUR CAMBER USING CAMBER BOLTS AND YOUR PHONE! Solo Lap 2024-01-28 | I've been measuring and measuring for new wheels recently and just as I thought I was all set with width and offset, I noticed the camber on the Nissan, especially at the rear was...shall we say 'poor' looking. So I decided before I pull the trigger on the new wheels that I'd do something about the camber by using camber bolts AND set them up via my phone...Music track: Coastline by shandrSource: freetouse.com/musicFree No Copyright Music Download
PROJECT EKP HONDA MIRRORS ON A NISSAN! Solo Lap 2024-01-21 | The oem mirrors on my Pulsar were not great...Not sure why, but they weren't manual, and they weren't electric, so you could only adjust them by pressing on the glass and they moved constantly!After much searching, I came across some Nissan Motorsport/Garage Defend style mirrors from a company called Project EKP. I took some rough measurements, and ordered a set, thinking (after doing this sort of thing several times in the past) that I could probably make them fit.I had no idea just how good they would turn out!Music track: A Positive Direction by AylexSource: freetouse.com/musicMusic for Videos (Free Download)
UNBOXING CARBON GOODIES FOR THE PULSAR GTIR! Solo Lap 2024-01-07 | I needed a bit of a pick me up with the cars, as of late the various jobs I've been doing have just seemed never ending for one reason or another... So when I realised that RallyTech in the UK also offer their awesome carbon door cards for the Pulsar, I ordered a set hoping they'd be just the pick up I needed...but things don't always go to plan!
FITTING THE 242g REVERIE CARBON STEERING WHEEL IN THE GTIR Solo Lap 2023-12-17 | I've ALWAYS wanted to buy a carbon steering wheel...just have to get that out there, but for some reason, I just never have, until now that is!
HOW TO CONVERT ORANGE LENSES TO CLEAR WITHOUT USING AN OVEN! Solo Lap 2023-12-10 | When I got the Pulsar it had lovely clear side lenses but one was cracked so I replaced them with new lenses and sadly, they had orange covers inside and it bugged me...So fast forward several months and I decided to fix it, mainly as I wanted to see if it would be possible to do without the usual separating/baking/oven technique. I imagine this can apply to a lot of lenses, you'll just have to see if yours have removable orange covers inside that can be broken down :)
FITTING A PRO ALLOY EXPANSION TANK ON THE EVO V Solo Lap 2023-12-03 | I started making this video once (with a tank from STM Tuned) but the tank didn't fit because my car has poly engine mounts! So let's try again, this time with the all singing and dancing tank from the guys at Pro Alloy in the UK.
USING HELPER SPRINGS TO LOWER YOUR RIDE HEIGHT Solo Lap 2023-11-26 | In a recent video I fitted some fantastic Meister R coilovers to the Pulsar BUT although the fronts had plenty of room to go low, the rears just weren't quite what I was after because my car is lighter....So after some discussion with Meister, we decided that installing some helper springs on the rear might help and give me the ride height I was looking for!It's worth saying that this approach can work for other brands also if you have the option to buy helper springs but you should ask the manufacturer as it can also have an impact on the handling characteristics.
FITTING REVERIE MULSANNE C CARBON SEATS IN THE GTiR! Solo Lap 2023-11-19 | Following on from the test fit video I made recently with the Pulsar, the seats arrived from Reverie, so let's see what they're like and get them in the car!
TAKING THE TOUR AT KAISER CLASSIC IN STOCKHOLM! Solo Lap 2023-11-12 | A while ago I spotted a rather nice 190E with Evo 2 bodykit for sale here in Sweden at a company called Kaiser Classic. I got talking to the salesman there, Greg and we realised quite quickly that we were both from the UK! The 190E didn't pan out at the time, but I kept in touch with Greg and when my player 2 and I found ourselves in Stockholm, I asked Greg if he was around for a visit and he was, so one bright Sunday morning, we headed over to meet Greg and take a look around at this fascinating place...
THE GTiR GETS SOME BUCKET SEATS (SORT OF)... Solo Lap 2023-11-05 | This isn't so much of a how to video, but more of a 'how I intend to' video :PI decided that while I was waiting for the new seats to arrive, I'd test fit the Planted subframes and one of the Sparco seats from the Evo in the Pulsar as I figure out how I want to do things.
INSTALLING MEISTER R GT1 COILOVERS ON THE GTiR (PART 2 of 2) Solo Lap 2023-10-29 | In the first part of this 2 part video, we removed the rather tired Teins from the car and fitted our shiny new GT1s! The car has been sat overnight to let gravity do its thing with the springs, so now it's time to adjust the ride height :)
INSTALLING MEISTER R GT1 COILOVERS ON THE GTiR (PART 1 of 2) Solo Lap 2023-10-22 | So when the Nissan needed new coilovers (the Teins it came on were old and also set at their lowest height), I got in touch with Meister R for a set of their shiny track focused GT1s.I really like the Meister R kit, I have their ZetaCRD on my Audi A3 cab and after 3 years of Swedish winters, they still look (and perform) brilliantly, so I'm excited to see what their flagship product is like :)Anyway, they arrived yesterday, so let's get them on the car!
HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN CARBON SLAM PANEL (PART 3 of 3) Solo Lap 2023-10-15 | In the second part of this 3 part video, we added our carbon to the slam panel, and got it ready for the paint shop. Now we're back for the final part, the panel is back from the paint shop and it's time to see how it turned out and get it onto the car!_______________________________________Music track: Everyday by Eric LundSource: freetouse.com/musicMusic for Videos (Free Download)_______________________________________
HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN CARBON SLAM PANEL (PART 2 of 3) Solo Lap 2023-10-08 | In the first part of this 3 part video, we (just about) made our glass fibre base for the slam panel, and now it's time for the fun part...laying the carbon!
HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN CARBON SLAM PANEL (PART 1 of 3) Solo Lap 2023-10-01 | My Pulsar came with some rather nasty looking under bonnet bling which included a chrome slam panel. I promptly removed all the bling for a more stealth look and searched for a replacement for the slam panel to no avail...Fast forward a few months of me kicking the thing round the garage, I decided enough was enough and it was time to have a go at making my own from scratch!I've played around with fibreglass, fillers and carbon cloth before but this was the first time trying to make a completely new part, I mean, how hard could it be?
BLITZ VS K&N VS AFE...AIR FILTER SOUND OFF! Solo Lap 2023-09-24 | For me cars are all about drama, theatre, the experience....from the moment you turn the key. One of the most important things is sound and when I found myself with an abundance of air filters, I thought it'd be rude not to compare them all!
MAKING AND FITTING A CUSTOM SUN STRIP ON YOUR OWN Solo Lap 2023-09-17 | It's that time again when I install another sun strip on a car, this time the GTiR!Music from freetouse.com/music‘A Positive Direction’ by ‘Aylex’
GTiR AFTERMARKET EXPANSION TANK INSTALL Solo Lap 2023-09-08 | When I got the Pulsar, there were a few things that stood out immediately as jobs to do and one of them was replacing the juice bottle expansion tank!After a lot of searching I came across True Focus Fabrications in the US and after some back and forth, ordered one of their universal tanks...so let's get it installed :)
FITTING A 3D PRINTED HEADLAMP DUCT TO THE GTIR Solo Lap 2023-08-20 | Well this is a first for me...3D printing has been around for years now and I've never really been that interested in it, that is until Motorsport3D in Australia popped up with their headlamp duct for the Pulsar!
INSTALLING A CATCHCAN ON THE GTIR Solo Lap 2023-08-13 | One of the jobs I've wanted to do since I bought the Pulsar was to swap out the oem oil seperator and filter solution for something, well, better!The parts used in this video:AN12 (25mm) pipe connector from Jspec.se1m AN12 nylon wrapped hoseAN12 45deg connectorAN10 0.35ltr catchtankAN10-AN12 adaptorsAN12 19mm push on connectorHurricane breather filter 19mmAll above from Speeding.nu
MAKING YOUR OWN RACE CAR SWITCH PANEL Solo Lap 2023-08-06 | I've already done this in the Evo (and several cars in the past...refining the solution each time) and it has become one of my favourite mods to do. I went for the same solution as the Evo but the fitting had to change on the GTiR a little due to how the centre console is laid out.----------------------------------------------Music track: Monday by walenSource: freetouse.com/musicCopyright Free Music for Videos
RELOCATING THE BATTERY TO THE TRUNK ON A PULSAR GTIR Solo Lap 2023-07-30 | One of my favourite mods this one, getting a super light lithium battery and routing the wiring to the trunk. There are lots of benefits such as saving weight, shifting weight from the front, saving space and so on (ok so maybe 3 benefits)...My car already had the battery relocated but the install wasn't the best, so I took the opportunity to do it better :)
SO FAST IT GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS! Solo Lap 2023-07-25 | After quite some time away, the Evo is finally back after having a lot of work done and my god, it's an animal!Big thankyou to the guys at Auto-gruppen in Mellerud for making the car utterly ridiculous 😂
WAS THIS THE GREATEST EVER ESCORT COSWORTH BUILD? Solo Lap 2023-07-10 | One of my all time favourite cars, and a car I still hope to own at some point, is the Ford Escort Cosworth. Back in the early 00s I couldn't get enough of photos, articles and videos of these cars and perhaps the ultimate build belonged to Stian Hafsengen in Norway.Not only was the car a genuine ex WRC model (driven by Carlos Sainz) tuned to over 700whp, but the owner Stian, drove his immaculate machine like he'd stolen it at every opportunity...and boy could he drive!
WHAT CAUSES A SPONGY CLUTCH PEDAL ON THE PULSAR GTIR (AND HOW TO FIX IT) Solo Lap 2023-07-09 | I never drove the Pulsar before I bought it (just like the Evo), and when I went for first drive I noticed the clutch pedal felt a bit soft/vague. At first I thought this was just because the car was old, but after a little research I found that it's actually a common fault on these cars. The good news is though, that there's a very simple way to fix it!
USING MOTIP PLASTIC PUTTY TO MAKE A CUSTOM FRONT GRILL Solo Lap 2023-07-02 | I've tried and failed twice now, TWICE, to buy an open front grill for the Pulsar, so I decided to make my own :)So I got hold of a spare plastic grill for the Pulsar, bought some Motip Plastic Putty and got on with it. Let's see how it turns out!
HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN CARBON SR20 LEAD COVER Solo Lap 2023-06-25 | When I was growing up, I used to watch all these art shows where'd they ask you to collect ordinary items and then show you how to make cool stuff. This is my attempt at that. 😂
PROGRESS UPDATE ON THE PULSAR GTiR AND FIRST DRIVE! Solo Lap 2023-06-18 | Summer is finally summering here in Sweden, and that means car meet season has also arrived! Tonight was the second FjordTraffen meet of 2023, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to update you all on what I've been doing on the Pulsar and then get some on the road footage as I drive to the meet :)You'll want to turn the volume up for this one...
HOW TO INSTALL A USB PORT IN YOUR CAR Solo Lap 2023-06-11 | Does anyone still use the cigarette lighter in cars, won't it burn the end of your vape stick? In this video, I remove the cigarette lighter in my Pulsar and replace it with a usb charging port. The one I used can be found here:https://www.amazon.se/-/en/dp/B00K5PKAHI?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_details
MODIFYING THE FRONT BUMPER ON A NISSAN PULSAR GTIR Solo Lap 2023-06-04 | When I bought the Pulsar, the front bumper had seen better days, so I decided to remove it for repair and at the same time I decided to modify it and also remove the front crash bar.I had no idea just how badly damaged the bumper was...Music from #InAudio: inaudio.org Track Name: Infraction - Rock Radio
USING AN UNLIKELY IKEA PRODUCT TO REPAIR AND PROTECT YOUR CARS INTERIOR CARPET Solo Lap 2023-05-28 | After 33 years of feet, the driver side carpet in my Nissan was looking a bit worse for wear. So I came up with a cheap and hopefully ingenious way to repair it AND protect it for the future and it's all thanks to Ikea!
THE FASTEST WAY TO INSTALL A TURBO TIMER Solo Lap 2023-05-21 | I know I recently put out a video of my installing a turbo timer on my Evo, but that install was anything but 'standard', so I decided to repeat the video with my Pulsar and see just how quickly it could be done...The answer is 'fast' 😂
HOW TO RELOCATE YOUR WASHER BOTTLE TO THE TRUNK Solo Lap 2023-05-14 | This is one of those not too difficult jobs that applies to almost any car and can really help tidy up your engine bay, make room for that big air filter etc and shift a little weight backwards.Let's relocate that washer bottle!
REFRESHING THOSE TIRED OLD WIPER ARMS AND SCUTTLE PANEL Solo Lap 2023-05-07 | Another day, another little job on the Pulsar...and no I still haven't driven it!While I was doing other little jobs I noticed the wiper arms and scuttle panel had seen better days, and as parts are generally hard to come by for the little Nissan, I decided restoration was the way forward 😇
REPLACING FRONT LAMPS ON A PULSAR GTI-R Solo Lap 2023-04-30 | So the new project is here and this is the very first job! The 32 year old lenses had seen better days, so I decided to replace them with some new ones courtesy of TYC and Depot.Music from #InAudio: inaudio.org Roads
625HP SUPERCHARGED E92 M3 VIDEOSHOOT Solo Lap 2023-04-25 | A slightly longer version of the video shoot I did late last year with @Gronlund_Media in Trollhattan, Sweden.
I BOUGHT A LITTLE KNOWN 90s JAPANESE ICON! Solo Lap 2023-04-23 | Now that the Evos are away being worked on and with the black car soon to be sold, my bank account was itching for a new project 😂It all started when Robin at CustomCars in Vanersborg had called me and said he had a car I might be interested in, so I went along to take a look and well, he was right...Fast forward a few months and here we are!
HKS SILENT POWER VS KAKIMOTO GT1.0Z EXHAUST BATTLE! Solo Lap 2023-04-16 | With my time with the black Evo close to an end (ish), I've finally gotten round to making a video I planned to do a while ago...a sound off comparison between the popular HKS Silent Power exhaust and the almost unicorn-like Kakimoto GT1.0Z.So let's crack on!
WHY YOU NEED A SLAM PANEL AND HOW TO FIT ONE ON YOUR EVO Solo Lap 2023-04-09 | One of the final bits of the carbon puzzle (for now anyway) is this slam panel from RallyTech in the UK. This part did arrive with the bonnet an interior trim BUT the weave went the wrong way 🫣 so I had to return it...It's a refreshing change to have a job that doesn't take several years and require lots of messing around!
HOW TO INSTALL A BLITZ TURBO TIMER IN YOUR CAR Solo Lap 2023-03-31 | Turbo timers, some people swear by them, some don't see the point in them. Personally, I'm kind of in the middle, but as I'm a belts and braces kind of guy, I think having a fail safe there to cool down your engine/turbo after a hard drive can't be a bad thing!I've always been a fan of the now discontinued Blitz FATT/DC range of timers and luckily found this little gem for peanuts, gathering dust on Ebay. A cheeky bid later and here we are, let's get it on the car shall we?For this familiar with the channel, this was shot (and forgotten about) back in 2021...

THE JOURNEY TO MODIFYING A RENAULTSPORT SPIDER Solo Lap 2023-03-24 | I'm always the same with my cars, to date no matter what I buy, I ALWAYS have to modify them. Like Michelangelo, the finished product is already there, it's just my job to find it.I bought my Renaultsport Spider back in 2019 and unlike most other cars, I couldn't just bolt any old parts to it because a) most parts don't exist, b) almost any modification would devalue the car, and c) because the car is so rare, any parts that DO exist are worth more than unobtanium...This was always going to be tricky, but with a lot of luck, patience and creativity, I managed to find that finished product. So, here is the build video for my car, do you think I enhanced the car or do you think I made a right old mess of it?
