cmon tacker....WE WANT PICS!

LOL ask and ye shall recieve....well pics anyway.

Sorry for the amount of pics just a little excited i guess, and the dust on the car it was out side waiting for 2 hours before i got there. Yes ok i was 2 hours late getting there.

Very happy with it at this point! Currently at bottomline for the graphics to be applied tomorrow and also a new set of wheels. So more pics when the car is complete.

Also good news took up the lease on a new 2900 sqft wharehose between 5 other car nuts so have a good location to keep the old girl now.

And a little pic of its stable mate ..... i can hear the GTR now...when i grow up i want a turbo THAT big

[tacker]

big pic so you can see the finish a little better

nice work tacker!!

[phunky_monkey]

MMMMM ware house = lots of room perfect

Yeah, it's heaven! Especially considering I've never had a garage or carport to work on the car.

Car looks great as well! What rims are you going for?

[Beer Baron]

looking good tacker. keep the enkeis, I reckon they suit the car well. especially with the new colour scheme.

[tacker]

Yer BB i am not giving them up i will have them power coated black i think, but need another set for spare i reckon.

I have just brought a set of rota rims which i have no idea what style :-) but they are black if that helps:-)))

agreed - you can never have to many wheels!

Can't argue with that. I currently have 12 wheels in rotation for the GTR. BBS LM, Enkei NT-03 and Weds Sport TC-05. and I don't think I can part with any of them. Love them all.

[tacker]

still willing to trade the wheels for the pepper grinder though :-) As the Rota rims are ok but not that nice

[Beer Baron]

I'll give you 2 pepper grinders and a sea salt grinder for the enkeis take some time and think it over.

[tacker]

you drive a hard bargin but done.........you just need to fly over and collect them now :-)

Tacker, I get dizzy just following your intercooler plumbing Could you explain?

[tacker]

no idea to be truthful the blue patrol is not mine it was just parked next to my car in the shop. Its a sand racer and 1300hp nissan patrol engine

[Duncan]

looks sweet tacker....like Neil says, "if you can't go fast, look good". You'll never lose it in the car park.

Russ...have you spoken to Sydneykid? He should be able to give you a starting point.

yeah I think shock set-up will be the biggest challenge now. I spent a year and a half playing with 4 way sachs set-up on a 996 cup car and we spent a year before we had a really good set-up nailed for the 3 NSW tracks (bear in mind we were in the dark completely at the beginning). with my own ohlins I have spent some time trying to set them up but after all that I wished I'd had the time to get them on a shock dyno and get some good starting point either from gary or paul joyner here at bilstein in sydney. so my only advice is keep at it!! it should be super quick now and definitely up there with the best. can't wait to see what you think of the new set-up.

[r33_racer]

ho ho ho...awesome timing russ. I guess i will see you out there on friday practice then. Things have changed just a little bit for us since the other weekend. What time you going to be out there?

[Angus Smart]

i have 16 the volk gtu's, Enkei (for sale ones) desmond ( with the semis on them) and 34gtr... (if they ever return to me) i want to part with most of them as i want a newish axis stagea

but i am also stinging for some of them buddy club qf's after seeing them in here and also looking them at jdmyard.com (end plug)

Since there is alot of track guys here, how many of u use short shifters, if so 10 or 30% less throw?

I dont mind my standard gearstick but if there is ANY improvement from a shorter throw ill change it

cheers
