I will write more about this car in a bit........one-family car since new, sat for twenty years
garaged(thank god) all original car now being transformed into my vision of a 125 Abarth...with
a two liter engine, CD68 131 abarth rims, all new brakes, fuel system, totally stock interior
and tons of other work........goal 170-180 bhp and when its running and I can finally enjoy it
to have it repainted the stock grey color...the grey ghost in Confederate livery
The next step!
To install a RB26 in the red S13. It will have:
Nitto forged pistons (9.0/1 86.5mm) and I-beam rods, N1 pump with billet gears, fluidamper
pulley with ARP bolt, Xtreme twin disc clutch/flywheel capable of 900 lb.ft, hypertune
stainless steel turbo header(work of art), Hypertune ITB intake (gorgeous), new water pump,
tomei belt, r35 coils, injectors(still deciding what size), tomei cam gears, poncams, new valves
koyo rad.......coming soon

This was purchased five years ago.......and it was a low mileage bike but it had
suffered the abuse of various owners who didn't deserve such a machine.....when I finally
was able to start working on it I threw all the cheap Chinese fairing directly in the trash or sold
a few pieces of it......it was atrocious! The chain had a kink in it and was a low-grade
piece of garbage. I removed the exhaust system, chain and sprockets, gas tank, front fork.
I took it down to its bare form and I knew the engine was strong and in good condition.
Thankfully I was able to locate numerous parts from TYGA international to facilitate its transformation....
To me the NC30 is akin to a Japanese Ducati...an exotic with its singled-sided swingarm
gorgeous aluminum frame, the sonorous symphony of it 90 degree V-4.....partially four cylinder
with the whine of the cam gears then transforming its cacophony into a V8 like basso profundo
....the front fork was from an inferior bike with two piston calipers.......that was sold off
I found a complete front fork setup with the calipers.......I went through the carbs at least 20 times
methodically replacing, cleaning, adjusting......it was during the worst of the COVID lockdowns
and I had the bike in the house......so I spent hours upon hours going through every part......
Eventually I rebuilt the front fork with new tubes, bushings, custom springs, seals and preload
adjusters.......installed the tyga stainless exhaust which was a real challenge.....new spockets, x-ring
DID chain, heil brakelines, carbon fiber airbox lid, new radiators, hoses, EBC brake rotors which
are a work of art....carbon fiber tank and TYGA solo seat bodywork...and much more....
and was it worth it in the end?
yes as the bike is a masterpiece.....light, agile sublime handling and the sound of that motor
wailing away above 8,000-14,000 rpm is simply spectacular.....plans call for painting it (finally)
and to rebuild the petcock (again)
