love it big boy. it looks just like I pictured it all those months ago. hard to believe it wasn't that long ago we were standing in the back of my truck ripping boxes open! and now all those boxes = 1 car. :D

it will be the star of the show wherever you take it mate. let's please take it to japan and show them what some hairy backed foreigners can build. :D (note, using the best japanese parts of course...) :D

lol, they don't need luck, sea captain. they have a GTR.... :wacko:

Yep I've had my arse handed to me plenty by Mark and Russ. Although we have done lots of improvements to the boat to catch up to their R32 times, possibly, then they sold it and went into hyperdrive with this R34 beast, and moved the goal post again. Go Russ and Mark, no good standing still, your hair gets swept forward from everyone passing you, or maybe catching up is my goal.

mai gawd... that thing is crazy!

If it's at superlap, I'm going to touch it, I'm warning you now!

your going to touch 'it'...thats par for the course anyway Doof.

we wouldn't have expected anything less.

HEY GUYS

Sorry for the lack of updates, really busy getting it ready at the moment!

engine has now got a basic run in tune and hoping to get it on the track this afternoon to run it in for a few kays.

we are running out of time and lots still to do, so we will still be doing initial testing at oran park on saturday.

i will post some more pics shortly.

we have been busy trying to get undertrays and front bumper & glass etc in the car , along with dash configuration and wiring. etc etc etc.

i was happy with the initial dyno start up , we had no dramas at all and it seems like boost will come on very very early, we will know shortly.

cheers russ

    • 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... 😅
