Awesome car awesome power.

Excuse my ignorance but what does RH9 stand for?

Orginally it was a club set up in japan for gtr's that could achieve a 9 second or sub 9 second quarter mile pass. not sure what the R H stands for though.

old story car is no longer owned by rob its now john's and i think someone owned it in between..............runs 3540's now not 2540's...its not really the same car now...maybe only the body...as driveline engine transmission is now completely different. its even registered in ACT with the same RH9 plates .

I'm sure I read or heard a while back that the 'RH' stood for 'Record Holders' of GT-R's that do the 1/4mile in the 9sec bracket on street tyres but it was a Japan only thing.

I might have heard it from an early HPI video I think

I had the pleasure of meeting John at one of our ACT SAU meets and seeing the car in the flesh. John is a really nice guy and stayed and chatted to us for ages. It's a shame that the pics I took were blurry cos I had the camera set up wrong.

To say the yogurt truck was crashed is indeed an understatement.

RH9 = Record Holders 9

This is what the sticker on the car says.

RH9 means, Record Holders of 9 sec GTR's with street tyres and trim.RH9 is only for japanese workshop GTR's not the common public GTR's that anyone ownes and goes nines, eg:there is thousands of GTR's around the world going 9's in street trim but arnt included because the car isnt owned by a workshop.

So even if it ran a 9 its not really a RH9 Car.

    • Well some mostly good news and some slight bad news.  Good news is cylinder 6 did in fact only require a honing and I'm good to run my 86.5mm pistons again. I should also get the block back by end of week. Bad news, had a few surprises pop up. First, main and rod bearings were trashed. No sign of any heat damage. I knew right away what caused this... I had not packed my oil pump originally and spent a lot more time than I would have liked cranking the motor to get oil pressure. It sounded fine once started so I chucked it up to luck and forgot about it. Luckily rod and crank are fine and just need new bearings. Engine builder agreed that this was the cause.    Another surprise that carbon covered up very well that I didn't catch, something got sucked up and went through cylinder 1, 2 and 3. Luckily this was no cause for concern, just needed a bit of cleaning up. Valves look fine but he will vacuum test the head this week to confirm. I'm presuming this was something left over from welding my intercooler piping, but we'll never know. I'm going to thoroughly reclean everything.    So all in all, happy the motor is fine, and I'll get it back much sooner than expected. I'll also be taking the time to convert my WMI system over to direct port. I'll snap some pictures of that when the parts come in. 
    • I understand, thanks. Yeah I wouldn't want the car to tip over, I'll try and use the sills, I don't want to risk smashing the chassis rails. I ordered some rubber pucks that have a hopefully big enough slotting. If the front right gives me trouble I can always just make a wood block. I'll measure and inspect the sills closer once I actually take the car up. I hope so, but the rubber blocks I had in hand so far were pretty damn firm, if they are that hard they won't give much way. I'll let you know what happens. Angle grinding rubber isn't one of my favorite tasks. I'll probably start a build thread soon, for my own documentation and "log" as well as sharing what's going on with the car.
    • Kinda something I have been thinking about.  To be honest, we bought it already driving like that.  So there's no telling how long it actually has been driving like this.  Hopefully damage is too bad when we drop the pan.   I am having a hard time finding a site that sells the solenoid for the 5 speed auto, do you have any suggestions?
    • That'll be most likely down the road...  LOL  
    • a stock / option or aftermarket?
