View Full Version : Norris's Secret Project
If you go to his site and look at the Demo Cars section you'll see one entitled 'Secret Project'....
Is he about to tune a beastly S14 at last? :) ;)
It's only got 8x18 alloys, so it's a possibility...

Could also be a scooby.
Considering his links with Jun hows about a drag supra??? MMMmnnnn
I'd go with an s14 also. Or maybe an 800hp Sunny? Now that would be a bit interesting.
There are a few big power Supras in the UK already, for example Leon and Terry Saunder's cars. Although I don't think anyone's got to 800 brake yet.
He'd have to go some to steal Ronnie's thunder with a R33/4 so yep, my money is on something sr20 powered.

I'd be very surprised if it was another 200 or gti-r..he seems to be 'moving on from these onto "better" things which cost more more to repair and tune.Did you know he has an escort Cosworth? Wonder if it could be that? No wonder he's keeping quiet:D

i was there today but all i saw was
a blue s14a, a black s14a with hiper muff, black s13 with blacked out lights, black sierra saff cossie, blue escort cossie, about 5 black pulsars, his evo and another white one, a red mini and a red s13
clues????:confused: :confused:
Cossie engines are nice to put in other cars, but how about jap engines in a cossie..

Well thats it then, could be an RB26 Lapmounted conversion in to the Mini
Well judging by his past motors, its probably going to be very very quick me thinks??
Is Norris Designs still open lads cos my mates sunny has been stuck down there since January (i sh1t you not) and he had an email from him a week or so ago saying he was closed for business for the rest of the year - so my mates stuck with no car until after christmas!! Not good if you've spent over 10k in just over a year there with him!!
He's still open, as Johnny's just had a clutch done there and my car is there waitng to be done. He does seem really busy though.

Has he gone to the SE school of customer service?
Sh!t, January? That's gotta beat the time it took for Matt and Arry..... and me :)
6 months and counting ash mate :(
still not got it back yet!
mine went in in may - and i thought that was bad! january is just taking the biscuit!!
Thing is where else can you take your Nissan for professional tuning??
There is a place called Nis-tec in Swansea but they tend to stick to standard servicing and stuff although they will have a fiddle when asked - they used to work for Nissan before they opened thier own place.
From what i've heared i've been put off taking it to Norris Designs - think i'd rather have a go my self!!

Why dont some of the guys from this forum set something up ? theres obviously a big demand for 200SX work judging by how busy SE and Norris are. Im sure a few of them must have thought about it ? I'm sure people would be happy letting peeps like Steve Carter and Paul_S13 work on their cars ? (yes there are lots of others on here who do LOTS of work to their own cars, these two names just came to me first) maybe Bren could be involved to ? love to set-up something like this myself working full time with Jap cars would be cool ! but I just dont have enough technical knowledge on the cars, plus Im sure it'd be a bit awkward to sort out how much everyone gets paid etc. and making day to day running decisions etc.
In the not to distant future you may find a company being setup under the name RJ Tuning who will mainly be working on the 200SX although all other Jap cars will be taken on eventually. I will also be importing parts at the cheapest price available in the UK, as I currently do and organising track days. This is all still under development but it wont be too long hopefully
