This will be the final event for the car before its disassembled. The body is going to a new home and the driveline is up for sale. Bit sad to see it go this way but no-one was interested in buying the whole car and racing it. The sport is a bit difficult now for a car of this build since the Sport Compact series was folded and there is no class where a 4WD manual car can compete competitively unless its running low 8's or high 7's. Couple that with ANDRA's stand on making the sport expensive by not allowing competitors to run cheaper fuels etc has forced our hand.

I sincerely like to thank all those people who has been tremendous supporters of the car over the years as well as Croydon Racing Developments and Godzilla Motorsport who have been involved with tuning etc.

A few little gremlins have been holding the car back but since bringing the car home from QLD they have been all sorted. The final event should see the car run the times ive always known its been capable of given a good clean pass.

hope to see you at the track, thank you and farewell.

Paul and Stacey.

I'll hopefully be there. Maybe if I knock you around the head enough times with some Jun cams you'll change your mind :blink:

thought about entering it in THE WORLD TIME ATTACK CHALLENGE?!?!?!?! Or Superlap as it's known. Or has it gone past the point of no return as a track/drag car?

im building another car...but it will be something a little more street oriented. The car is actually owned by Stacey and she really has missed the ability to just jump in and drive it around on the street without the fear of Mr Plod throwing the book at her. The shell im sure will be at Superlap next year as the new owner is involved in circuit racing...as well as my new project im starting very soon. Drag racing bores the crapper out of me...i need to spend more time in a car at an event...instead of sitting around all day. The sport is run by knuckle-draggers stuck in the dark ages and the rules are written to suit the big hitters of the sport with little regard for the grass roots guys. There was little to no point continuing on running ET's and being knocked out 1st round in a slow car when the class is based on a National fixed index system. My last race in QLD had me lined up against a 5.9 sec alcohol dragster...thats crazy...one accident will have someone badly injured or killed if those sort of classes continue to exist. There is only 2 Sport Compact events per year to race the car and owning a car that see's the track twice a year (with one of those events requiring the car to be freighted interstate) was in our view simply unsustainable.

Ill be handing my UDL (unlimited drag licence) in at the conclusion of this event.

CAMS licence is what a GTR driver really needs.

Linton, the car will appear to be totally stock...and even sound stock. But wont be :blink:. The authorities and public's tolerance for loud obtrusive modified cars is quickly diminishing...i will be building the new car how things have to be done in order to totally enjoy them. No more nervous trips into town after dark etc...a car that will blend in on the street...but stand out on the racetrack.

Paul this is sad to hear!

I will be racing at compak attak so i will see you there. Hopefully we can both crank out some serious times. It would be nice to see your car run a 9.0 or even an 8 sec pass cause trust me i know how much money and time goes into a car of that calibre.

Good luck with it mate

That's easy fixed.... just move to Tassie.

Big pipes, big wheels, big HP... just no bald tyres ha ha ha.

I love Tassie... "But officer... it's a big blue scuba diving bottle!"

lines dont drive without engines.

sorry i should have said engine combo...its only the gearbox i require for the new car.

5 speed dogbox with load-sensored ignition cut for flatshifts will be handy for the circuit. :blink:

The engine combo will be freshened and shrink wrapped soon after the event if no buyer is keen. May pull it out in a few years and stuff it into a gutted S13 3/4 chassis car for shits and giggles. 1100hp and 1100kg...id say it would be more shits than giggles.

Ive approached Croydon Racing to see if they are keen to prep the car for the last event...would be good to have the old crew back together at the cars last outing.

Exactly the philosophy i have for my own gtr paul... 'walk quietly..and carry a very big stick'.

Actually sounds very similar as to why i chucked the towel in when it comes to drag racing...but will look forward to come and see this amazing machine at its last outing.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I did a bit of googling, the color MCM used was Galaxy Grey from House of Kolor. This is actually a colour I picked out about ~10+ years ago (or more). This one is a stock BMW colour, I guess over the years I figured it was smart to get an OEM colour that was pretty common for all of those sensible reasons one can think of..

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By PranK · Posted

      I absolutely love having clean wheels and also totally love cleaning them. Its not as important to me to have a clean car exterior as it is to have clean wheels. So I bought a kit. I generally use different products for my wheels than anything else, so I thought I'd buy a proper kit and bucket to keep it all in. I got this one from Waxit. I also got the CQuartz wheel and plastic ceramic along with a bunch more application micro fibre pads as CQuartz never provide enough.  The kit was good, but as usual the big, long spongey thing didn't fit between my spokes, so I needed to use a detailing brush and a larger brush that I already owned (been doing this forever, the spokes on these wheels are frustrating.) I did a full clean with the wheel cleaner, it has an iron killing product in it, so I found that I could just use the cleaner and nothing else on the wheels. The tyre cleaner and handled brush were awesome. Made cleaning the tyres so easy. Once everything was clean, I decontaminated with isopropyl and applied the ceramic. Two coats. I bought 2 bottles as I have a lot of wheels to do, half of one bottle did two coats on these. The X5 has 20's so I reckon probably 3/4 on that. Then, for possibly the best part, the wheel cleaning kit comes with a tyre black applicator. But, this is possibly the greatest sponge of all time - its a great size, quite stiff and HAS A COVER! When you finish applying the black, you just put the cover back on! This is revolutionary, I normally have to try and find safe places to put my tyre black applicators as they are covered in silicone and tyre crap. Or, you use something which just falls apart. This applicator is the bee's knee's. Get one. It's worth it. The tyre black is also like a cream, its very thick but goes on really thin, its very easy to use with the applicator. Ayway, after a big clean, decontam, ceramic coat and tyre black the wheels went back on and they look awesome.   Thought I'd share.

      Haha. Good work. I feel some of your pain because I spent a bunch of time under my car over the period too. Probably nowhere near as much as you did. My happiness is similarly improved by obtaining a desired result though. Those side skirts are.....hecking. Very unfriendly for street and hoist. Sounds to me like you've made a cart that needs to be driven up only planks/blocks at a 2 post hoist, rather than trying to get it up onto a 4 poster. It's very pretty, by the way. Somewhat reminiscent of Marty's squid ink on SuperGramps - at least in the photos.

      ATTAKD 356mm Brake Kit for Nissan Skyline R34 GTT or R33 GTST (front)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      ATTAKD 356mm Brake Kit for R34 GTT or R33 GTST. Same brake kit as per here from JJ: https://justjap.com/products/attkd-brake-kit-nissan-skyline-r34-99-02?currency=AUD Can confirm these will bolt directly to a R33 GTST with 12mm bolts OR to a R34 GTT (which is what I had) with the supplied bolts and the collets for the 14mm bolt holes in the R34, which are included. Also included is a set of rotors and hats, as well as 2x brake pad sets. 1) DBA XP (street, hills) 2) Forza FR6 (track) These are radial mounted and bolt directly to R33/R34. You will need extended brake lines to avoid them being full stretch on lock - this is common for all BBK's with the bolt point being in the center. In my case I welded another stud about 25mm lower than the OEM one and retained stock lines and fittings. You'll want a BM57 BMC to get the most out of these. I speak from experience. $1800 (neg for SAU people), located SE Suburbs Melbourne.
