What genuises these thieves were...

6/4/10 Help us out, spread the work

Last night at 7-35pm we had some guys break into our GTR shop and steal the GTR rims and tyres and race seat from our shop, crazy thing is these are custom made in the usa by Bogart Racing wheels and have an custom off set that wont fit any cars in NZ or Australia!

They have a custom off set only for this race car, so they will be hopeless to sale, the slicks are a special size that we will notice any where as well. The race seat is a carbon fibre seat, race pro only made us 4 super lite models that stand out from the standard race seat.

We will offer a large reward for the return or info leading to these guys getting court, we have the car and one guy on our CCTV system, we are waiting for the police to come out tomorrow.

So we hope to post photos of the guy and car that we have on footage.

Any info email us or call 096210020, regards Kevin

New HP readings up on the HTL website - impressive!!!

Andre has just retuned the car with the latest changes for the trip to Oz, apparently found another 115hp :ninja:

Will be really interesting to see how it goes - Place your bets :banana: I reckon it'd be pretty sweet to see them crack the 7.50 mark with around 195mph on it.

They also put an interesting pic or two up:

Keep up the good work guys, looking forward to seeing what this season brings for you :banana:

Holy hell, damn you Aussies! I'd love to be able to see this :(

Good luck both teams on bettering your PBs, there could be history made this weekend! Looking forward to what HT's new record will be :ph34r:

    • We just disconnected the vacuum line if I remember correctly, booster is still there. Is there a rebuild solution for the booster or a different adapter that will work for GTR chassis?
    • Yeah 4wd (boosted) has a recess in the firewall for the booster, and 2wd is flat - the example in the link shows the flat surface. When you deleted the booster, did you just attach the factory slave cylinder directly to the recess in the firewall with no adaption?  
    • Yes, but no. You need to keep the mating surfaces bare (ie the flat faces where the caliper and upright pads touch the dogbone) and also the internal threads will remain bare (unless there are no internal threads - do they use nuts on all the bolts?). So you can slow down obvious external corrosion, but not all of it. Anodising would be required to provide decent protection to the alloy, but I'm not actually sure if you should anodise something that is all about the strength. Anodising does reduce strength significantly. Like, up to 50% on some alloys for high thickness coating.
    • Thanks   does painting on aluminium work or stop them from corroding?
    • 'Sgot nothing to do with them being Japanese. The climate in the north of Japan has similarities to the UK - the cars are made in the knowledge that they have snow and salt, and they rot there. Cars made in the US rot like buggery in the US. British cars have always rotted regardless of the weather. They will rot indoors in a climate controlled bubble! The brackets are not unsafe yet, but they will get that way. They may well corrode where the bolt threads are in contact and the bolts could just jump out without warning.
