Ah fair enough. I think I'm going to end up hacking up a standard dash pretty soon. Mine still has road rego (Don't ask me why... LOL), so I'm thinking of ways to keep things functional, relatively legal, yet "raceable"

You will need to make sure you get the correct AFM though as well.

I've always thought the gauges down there were too far out of view for myself personally. I used to have my boost gauge down there just above the ash tray, and the only way I knew what my boost was doing was to look at it... I much preferred them up higher. How do you find the 5 gauges that Duncan has in the GTR sitting in that spot? Are they something you can "keep an eye on" easily? Reason I ask is I'm still debating location for oil temp, water temp and oil pressure gauges for mine.

Neil is that to go in the centre console?

What Kumho's do you run? I know a couple of people who can get tyres cheap...

Kel, I never knew you did Gravel too! Zeb... I'm more worried about the driver then the car to be honest... ROFL I'll speak to brad this week and question him on how much to cage it, VS doing an R31/R32...

Sammeh's been back for a while... He just doesn't like us any more...

Seans just thrown an T5 behind a 5L in a VN... They don't have hydraulic clutches... Cable clutch all the way... And what a POS a cable clutch is!

Could you actually feel the seat and yourself moving around, or was it something you noticed afterwards in the video?

I know, there's like 5 pages of turbo and RB rubbish... Maybe I should delete the first few pages...

Omg... Flange... I gotta remember to sponsor you too!!!

Chris, what was the need for having the slave bored out bigger? I know you need more fluid to be moved... Is it just because the friction point is too close to the floor? Cause you can alter this... Edit: Just re-read and had a brain fart of a late night thought, had an epic long rambling post written... Then realised I was talking about the master cylinder not the slave... I still have the Slave cylinder if you need it. Just speak with Brad in regards to grabbing it. Oh, I also got those parts too, just need to fit them. Thanks heaps!

Andrew... Have I ever told you you can be such an asshole?

You can come out in the Chaser...

I like this car... Looked at it many a time while in the workshop... Got my photos?

It needs a turbo. That's the issue it has...

The LS1 and T56 works out around 20KG lighter then an RB20 and gearbox. I'm coming from an RB30DET and R33 box, so should be saving around 50KG, as well as shifting weight more into the middle of the car.

That's in fitted and running. No engineers report. Nothing This thing sparcely sees the road, it only ever used it's rego to go to events really ( half the events it went to itcame back on a trailer) To be honest, by the time I got this car running with the rb30 the first time, it'll cost me the same as the v8. Considering I was about to build a forged 30, a few more grand for this is way better!!!

Needs more cubes... /End shit stir...

Well everything included, engine, box, clutch, ecu, wiring, etc etc (There's lots of little shit!) I'll be happy if I can get out of this for under 12K. After doing so many motors, I know that this will go over budget... But I do have a heap of spare parts (RB25 Gearbox, head etc) that are all up for sale to help compensate) And I did pick up my motor and gearbox for an absolute steal (And clutch!)... Also, that's not including everything I'm doing suspension wise, as well as inside the cabin. (New Seats, redoing bits behind the dash, gauges etc)

I love watching these vids... I'm currently half way into having an LS1 go into my R33... As you mentioned, it is an expensive excercise... Especially if you crack the shits and pay someone to do alot of labour for you... LOL

I did call them in regards to custom/one off bits and pieces too, and they no longer do one offs. I was informed all that they will do is churn out "kits". I've spoken with brad in regards to the steering rack changes, and I feel much safer letting him f**k with the rack then buy that kit and not know what will happen. We've discussed things and the geometry will be "normal", the rack is being moved towards the drivers side, and then extended on the passenger side so that we don't have different length arms.

Cheers Arthur, that's very interesting there indeed. Thanks for the link. I'll speak further with Brad about it. Edit: Although a new starter is only around $330... So it is a fair expense more for a few bolts and the spacer plate...

Shells for these things are cheap as. Might be easier to just pick up another shell Noddy (And no, not our Secretary!). So any story/incar footage of said rail bending event?

I forsee the V8's doing a bit better on this then the turbos... Generally speaking, watching the 1/4mile runs and then the 1000metre... The V8's will lose out on 1/4 mile, and walk away with the 1000M run...
