  1. We towed our GTR all around in an AU wagon...never a problem...no tranny cooler either. we just bought a V8 Jeep Grand Cherokee and have found it a bit more comfortable...try looking at pre 99 models of those should be able to find something in your price bracket.
  2. Its the dyno operator...we tune at Croydon Racing in Sydney (dynodynamics) ...and at Autosalon (dynolog)the next day made 1kw less power. Both these dyno are ran by very skilled operators...hence the accurate power readings.
  3. what year model, r32 r33 ??
  4. car should be track ready in about 4 weeks time...so in about 6-8 weeks id say
  5. What sort of auto set-up is it...transbraked powerglide? If only we had the $$ to develop a GTS-4 auto to run some times in a GTR, or maybe adapt a glide for 4WD. It takes a real skill to drive these manual cars consistently down the quarter. I just had a look at some old data from when we first took the car to the strip...running 11.2 i was loosing 0.6 secs 1>2...0.5 secs 2>3...and 0.4 secs 3>4...thats 1.5 seconds during the run when the car is not accelerating. It may be a matter of hiring the track to get more practice and runs under my belt as ive only done 18 drag passes total and seemed to be only getting the hang of it with the last 6 or so runs. If your car is ANDRA tech'd would you be interested in coming to our test day?, as we need 10 tech'd cars to fill all the spots.
  6. yeah...too right. We ran the numbers with a very basic engine...all Nissan except cams and pistons and home built. Small street/circuit turbo's were only used (HKS 2530's). Mind you we used the best tuner in Aust. to get it to make power.
  7. has made a huge difference on the road...it has really livened up the midrange and made the car more streetable. "thats if 550 AWKW can ever be described as streetable"
  8. Your assumptions were reasonably accurate...just stirring it up a little......Sorry...... Ive just given him a goal that is within his cars reach...think of it as a bit of an incentive with a little bit of cheeky rolled in. Will be great to look over your beast in the flesh Jason....it sounds pretty angry. Well done and good luck with it. P.S....you think Ash is a tosser on here....mate he's a complete wanker in real life!!
  9. have you disengaged the clutch retainer ?
  10. Ahh what the heck...good luck to him....i still have NSW's fastest "street" skyline...yes DOT rubber full weight (1474kg) both headlights, sunvisors...no NOS etc... and i can't drive for shit...!!....lol
  11. Did they boot you after the burnout ??
  12. whats your best ET and MPH ?? EDIT: just saw your sig. 10.8 @ 134MPH
  13. A slightly thinner o'ring does the trick nicely...don't forget to give them a light spray with silicone during assembly.
  14. same here...wanted centre console surround and no reply. was in Sydney today and could have picked up
  15. ok you can drive John Force's car...ill concentrate on his daughters while you keep him occupied.
  16. This item has been sparingly used in our race car and is only 2 yrs old. Has only done a few dyno comps and race meetings and has zero street use. The box is available for the tools who insist in having it. R32/R33 GTR only. $900 no offers
  17. yeah but that wont stop some ballbreaker offering $1500 for them. these are the best all round turbo's to suit RB26's i highly recommend them
  18. i have his mobile...pm me if you REALLY need it
  19. Japanese workshops are just like Aussie ones...there are good and bad...for all you know it could be a STD bottom end with bolt on's done on the grass under a tarp beside his lean-to. Some REAL facts and information about the product your selling would be a good start. 2540 turbo's have been out of production for a few years now and yours look a bit tired. It could have been built more than 5 years ago and possibly has plenty of klms on it. A realistic price would be a good start too....possibly even less than half your current price may find you a buyer.
  20. holy sh1t you really dug this one up "west"... leave the policing to the mods... open your eyes...two of whom are involved in the thread. Nick time to close this one.
