Oh yeh, there is a hell of a kink in the passengers sill, in the middle of the passenger door.... I think this is fixable, with time and a serious rack session.

well, its ready to race but not how it was ment to be. It is where it was at the end of 09, freshend up somewat. Until the 30/26, superbox, revised suspension and Carbon/Kavlar/FRP components are in, it is not yet done.

Right, so a tree hit here that exploded the wing and bent the rail near the front of the wheel, squashed the floor, tore the bumper rio out and bent the opposite side of the car. This side didn't touch a thing. So all the driveline has been transferd over in as simple way posible....eg and in about 12 hours...we were done!

Pics, You cant handle the pics Yeh, trust TD05 kit, manifold as well.

I had a set of 30 mounts laying about,I will have a look at it with some 25 mounts. Besides, I figured, 30 block, 30 mounts. They are the turbs I will be starting out with. Things have taken a left turn as well. I have had to re-shell everything back into this shell. The Black 1 had a bit of a moment

height of components, this is a good start then?

Back in 2001 I bought this wine red series 1 R33 gtst from an importer, It was an awesome car. I drove the ass off it and it just kept coming back for more and more. I started drifting it soon after buying it. That led to doing some sprints at QR and then on to Gatton and Leyburn. At just under 200,000 km the timing belt tensioner stud snapped. Re-building the engine was go, but what did I really want to do with this car down the track...... Race it harder! Cage went in and lots didn't. It went well, real well. Things got modified more and more and looked less and less like a street car. After Noosa hill 2009 I decided it was time to pull it down and have a good look at how everything was going after 4/5 years of racing it. I also wanted to tidy up a lot of the suspension experiments, some worked extremely well. Like all best laid plans, I decided to essentialy re-shell it all into a road car I had lying around as a spare.... just in-case. Some one should buy this thing, has been an awesome road car and exceeded all expectations on the track. Noosa Hill June 2010, 1st in class & new class record SCMA Super Sprint Series, outright champion 2010 Gatton 2011, 1st in class.(I broke my thumb 2 days before the event) So Gentle, She's on the road back. I wanted to get the dumby motor in today. I had to work out how to get the RB30 mounts to fit the 33 cross member. My tig welding is getting better. there is a 6mm rubber cushion in there, other wise its a solid job. It is getting dry sumped so the angle isn't a major concern other than oil drainage. old tyre rub marks

As I see it, the front of gtst's is where most issues are in terms of easy weight to remove. frp bonnet and guards are a no brainer. I have made an mould and pulled a set of Kevlar guards out, <1kg each. Front bar with splitter is still in the works. Eliminate all the normal comfort stuff, sounds like you have done most of that. The windows, reg etc in the doors saves 20 kg on its own. Trimming the extra fat off the steel door ends up lighter than carbon ones I have weighed. I have seen an s14/15 strut front end in a 33. I question if the weight of a loaded car will flex the strut, but I am looking into this over the next week. I think close to 1000kg is realistic and possible, that's where I'm aiming, I'm building it for 2A Sports which has a min wieght restriction. I'll be under so this way I can choose where it goes to balance it all up nicely on the scales.

I went tyre testing at Lakeside last Sunday. Dont mind these KU36 things as a crossover road and occasional track thing. Excellent value. Not a fantastic race tyre but good for 1:02 on the day.

Just though I'd post this up here, sounds like these guy's looking for some more entries to make this a goer for this year. The area was hit pretty hard with the floods and could use the support of the event. Entries close Feb 4 so get a wriggle on. It continues to be 1 of the best Street Sprints I've compeated at so get on it people. Entry form in the link below http://www.downsmotorsportclub.com.au/Templates/Gatton/2011_Gatton_Entry_Form.pdf

I'm keen to come down for a practice day at wakefield and eastern creek early feb.

It is going to be something of a drive..... but I intend on making it.

Hi all I'm looking for a dead 25 box to use on a dumby setup in a race car. I need to make new mounts etc so an empty housing on the dumby engine in its new location would make the job much easier. Contact me on the number below.

Not a skyline but is a car that i get to drive from time to time. My Skyline was entered but just refused to go to this one.... So with some negotiation I got to take the cop car for a spin. I also wanted to show you guys the fastest and most open Street Sprint we have up here. The track is in the sleepy little town of Oakey, just over 1 hour from Warwick, just west of Toowoomba. Craig weston pulled 2nd outright in his 32gtr from Ray Vandacey's Skelta, 3rd was a 351 escort sportsedan, 4th datto 1200 2A closed sports with a turbo & supercharged 4A, 5th a GT2 porsche, 6th My cop car on all nissan suspension, 7th Jason Black Nc BDA escort, 8th supercart, 9th Evil 4, 10th Off chops WRX. We did ok.

only managed some pit pics.

I have cracked a rotor, killed the front left shock and the tires are definitely past their best.

Awesome!!!! I'm getting a head!!!!! Now, I will need a number to call you on. Send me a txt on the number below, not planing on going to work tomorrow. I've had a wicked cold this week.

this keeps coming up as an about blank page for me

Sound good to me, shorts and thongs are good but it might be a little cool. last night was 12deg.

When practice is over and your all packed up, that is the time to crack on to the pub. The Siddins boyz and I will be at the Palace from about 6ish...give or take.

It was pretty cool last Friday, with some of the heaviest rain I've seen in years thrown in, Sat & Sunday were killer hot. I've told the Palace Hotel we are coming, good place for a beer n feed.

I was out there for the lats state champ round today. I was told that the track is closed for practice on Wed's until further notice. Bummer, I was planing to get some laps in.

Can't wait for you guys to come out here. Morgan is another 1 of the classic style tracks in my opinion, just with a bit more run off than the lake. National super sprints are on 13th & 14th of this month. Should come for a look.

Epic 1 for me!!!!Cant wait to cruise to the track on friday and watch the practice sesh
