Hi guys,

hope you are all well.

We are still cracking on with the skyline & hope to see lower times soon this season & we will upgrade the cage to unlimted for next year & switch her to methanol, we have also been busy looking to the longer term future & well here she is Project Zed - hope you like

Hoping to start running & learning very slowly from august this year - will take us a fair while to find our feet for sure & no expectations for quite a while to be honest.

it's original sister car ran 6.6's in 2005 @ 215+ mph

this car is brand new & has been sat for 3 years doing nothing out in the states before we picked it up, it's slightly newer with a better chassis than the original & we are not handicapped by the same NHRA rules surrounding turbo sizes etc.

It will take us a long time to get our head around it but we want to run this in the FIA pro Mod class here in Europe in 2011 - to be competitive we need to be seeing 6.3's or less - god knows if we can get there or not , it won 't be for lack of trying - be great to see a jap car v the monster v8's :-)

It's running a 4ltr VQ block on methanol, 5 speed lenco box

Fingers crossed

RJ chassis eh...nice work. Ive just put a Vi-PEC V88 and a twin M&W Drag 6 CDI system into an RJ car here in Aust. Toyota though so its a bit slow...lol.

Ive been involved in discussions with a big race team here in Australia about running a R35 GTR RJ chassis 'PRO FX' car here...3.8 litre V6 twin T51 powered monster running a lenco. Custom engine block running Nissan heads etc. They were meeting with Nissan Australia in Melbourne this week to nut out a sponsorship deal. These guys are behind a well known team and if anyone has the budget and experience to pull this off and get it happening its them.

Stay tuned

When is the Z debuting John?

EDIT: August hey...keep us updated.

Pro bodied 35GTR would look amazing :)

We were going down the same route at one stage but the cost of getting a body developed & moulded & we were worried about the likely size & look of that body put us off a bit - be great to see what yours will look like.

Twin T51 will be nuts, the SPL is a great great turbo that we loved to bits when running on ours, god knows what 2 of those babies would feel like :(

Some great great cars out there now & in the making - be just bloody awesome if we ever see a 5 sec jap car in the world over the next 5 - 10 years :)

    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
    • Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
