Well after 7 months off the road/track the car is starting to take shape. :)

Really hoping to be finished by the end of June.

A lot of changes made to last year that I hope will help the car drop the times a fair bit from last year biggrin.gif

The RB25 we used last year has now been swapped for an RB26 (we will keep the RB25 though & drop it back in when the season is finished in October to drop last years times further on the RB25 - 9.93)

Hope you like what we are doing

Cheers

John

Still the existing GTST shell (with a lot taken out), std front wings & carbon doors, bonnet & boot lid.

Car has been back halved - I would have loved to have gone with a full space frame but not just yet.

Holy shit. That's some serious gear in there. So apart from the engine bay frame rails, outer skin on roof, quarters and front apron it's all tube?

5 speed jerico with air shifter - should make a huge difference to last year.

be great to be able to change at full throttle :P

Everything's good here John - my minor upgrades to the gtst pale in comparison. Which box have you put in it?

Thanks mate - certainly wouldnt be a grudge match as would be great to see a number of very very quick GTSTS out there as I get so pissed off with people dismissing them out of hand :P

Would love to start "rocking the boat" over the next few years to prove some points :mellow:

Nice work John ;)

Grudge match between your beast and the CRD/India GTS-T when its done? :mellow:

Guys hoping you can help :yes:

The car is being shipped off to New Zealand in October for some work to be done & hope that it's ready by feb.

I've got a good mate here in the UK who's emigrating to Perth & tells me there are some fantastic drag competitions in Feb/Mar.

I would love to ship the car from NZ to Aus to take part in a couple of comps before shipping the car back to the UK :)

Could someone let me know of any decent meets in Feb/March 08 - would love to run the car in Aus next year :(

Many thanks

John

    • Wanting to avoid this if possible but kinda looking like I may not have a choice 😭
    • Ok awesome thank you. Just wanted to have them in case I can find some and need to compare part numbers!
    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.
