Mate your insistance on the car having a back seat is ridiculous as in Australia you can not run any quicker than a 10.99 without ANDRA requiring that you have an approved roll cage. And if you have a roll cage (any decent and safe cage) then it is not possible to keep the rear seat. And if you have a roll cage then it would add a lot more weight than the removal of the rear seat. Rear seat weighs approx 8kg while a roll cage adds around 60kg so by my maths that would be be an increase of 52kg. And as stated Pauls car is engineered as a two seat car and is legally registered and does get driven on the street so if you think that this car does not qualify for your list then i think that makes your list fairly irrelivent mate. I think you will find most people would agree as the insistance on having a rear seat just seems overly padantic. Is it that you would personally prefer to see another car at the top of the list ?.

As silly as the rule is im planning on re-fitting the rear seat soon. My friend who is a trimmer has carved the rear seat in 3 pieces and is fitting the insides of the cuts with velcro so its easy to fit as well as modifying the rear side trims to fit. Im doing this for more reasons than being top of this list...the main reason is ive had enough of people saying my car is only quick cause its stripped. Its quick cause its a bloody powerful well set-up car for its purpose...drag first, street second and a race weight of 1571kg including driver shows the car is still quite heavy. The reason the seat is out is to save a misunderstanding when or if i get pulled over by the police...the engineer sugested this was the way to go.

Ill go to the top of this list very soon...and by quite a margin. :)

I'd hurry up with that Paul...soon the rules will be changing. You will have to have a weeks worth of shopping for a family of at least 4, dinner for 4 people (Mac's allowed if 4 x med size Big Mac meal deals with apple pies), 2 kids school bags, local street directory, min 20 CD's and a sub woofer......ROFLMAO :)

you left out the pure bred Rotweiller that must be seated as a passenger.

the stupid thing is the car now has to wear a steel scatter shield around the bellhousing...add another 5-10 kg. Ballistic blankets for manual cars have now been deemed unsafe by ANDRA....Overseas cars don't need to run 1/2 the safety sh1t we do here.

I believe RIPS drag R did it with back seat etc etc, though agreed - its all a bit excessive at times where you need a cage and a chute and they are clearly not really streety street cars anymore.

I know you will and I love to see you at the place you deserve.

Remember to some of your crew make a video of the car as we talked before... I love to see that 8´s in a full trim GTR.

From my point of view and many other in the world GTR comunity there is no other change to the rules on the future.

A. complete interior

B. stock weight or more

C. DOT tires

i bet the officials weren't to happy with that run and no cage. 147mph and 9.9sec, that would be a stupid fast car if u got some slicks on it and got it hooked up from a launch. My buddys Camaro (100% dragster) runs 8.8 at 157mph. His car isn't even a real Camaro either, it's a tube chassi with a fiberglass drop on body.

That r32 could take you, 3 friends and a pure bred Rotweiller to Mcdicks and then get waved through police roadblock on the way back.

    • Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in
    • Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.
    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
    • How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
    • I should video mine, will prob do it tomorrow    Between 1st and 3rd, you could fit another two gears. That is how loose and wobbly it is   horrible:(
