Engine wise - R34 RB26 with steel wheelled low mounts, believed to be N1 or group A spec but haven't chased up the actual kind, just made sure they were the large cartridge/steel wheel variety for the boost I run (1.5 bar)

The usual fuel system upgrades (pump, 700cc injectors, sard reg), ARC oil cooler and IC, blitz intake pods + hard IC piping kit, APEXI radiator (currently in the process of being replaced), PWR FC D jetro with last dyno at Willalls (340rwkws, 1.3 bar) although on the track I run a 20% toluene/boost 98 mix, 1.5bar and 3 to 4 degrees extra timing so whatever that gives me (seat of the pants dyno=quicker :-) )

Gearbox = stock, OS giken twin plate, ATS 1.5 LSD in the rear

Chassis - all joints rose jointed, extra body bracing through the engine bay with tomei strut / body brace, chassis rails all expander foam filled, 4 point cage

coil overs, track wheel alignment setup (although I haven't been to the Lala with the new setup)

AP 330mm brakes up front, std rear albeit with braided lines + nismo pads in the back

Tyres - at this stage still running the ADVAN street tyres (trust me - its a bloody handful on the track!) but I will be getting some semi's early next year.

Managed a 36.66 up collingrove last Sunday on the first (and only) timed run before the event was rained out.

Mallala is a braking track - so brute horsepower isn't a huge neccessity. Good cornering / brakes will help you along in leaps and bounds before you try taking more grunt to the track. Also tyre pressure / wheel alignment is a huge help, although it is obviously a little impractical to run 3 deg camber and 6-7 castor on an everyday streeter.

All that and still on street tyres!? >_<

Me thinks you're lap time are gonna plummet when you get some good semis :(

Been a while - any updates? Just got a bunch of new bits for the beast and once installed keen to give 'em a testing.......

I am keen for an update as well :(

My 32 is in Adelaide atm and will probably be heading up north again mid Jan. It will be awesome if you can organise a track day before that? I will be in Adelaide on the 13th of Jan, is it any good for a friendly track day :/?

    • Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next. 
    • Once you learn it all, you find you do the job once. But this is the best way to learn, as you won't forget the lessons
    • Edit: It's now known as "R Performance" and is still in operation.
    • This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?
    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
