Great to see it out and about.

BTW - Where did you get the seats from?

Cheers.

Hi Dallas,

i bought the seats from my supplier MVP motorsport in the US. tried dealing with sparco Australia but had no luck so i sent my money to the US haha

Concidering the price difference, would I buy a new GTR R35 or build something to your standard ? I'll build a car like yours any day. Congratulations. Very rarely do I make comment on other peoples cars as it is so subjective to taste. You sir have done well. I am not going to tell you what to change or even suggest, but my own taste would lean towards a tougher set of very light weight deep dish wheels. But that's just me. I don't like chrome. Normally I would not go for grey or charcoal but the Supra shape needs that sophistication as it looks more Porsche like.

thanks for the kind words mate. the wheels are light weight polished billet wheels not chrome. i didnt want to much dish as it takes away from that "stock" appeal. they do have nearly 5" dish on the rear too haha

It's 2:40 am and i couldn't keep my eyes off this thread! Your car is amazing i love it. You may have changed my mind from getting another skyline to a supra lucky i have a close friend with one he will sell for 5 G with 35r and fried rings might look into it as its been sitting for a couple of years in his shed.

well its been awhile since I've udated this as nothing has really happened. the car goes out each weekend with lots of thumbs up along the streets from people including a guy in a Ferrari WOOT haha. Im glad i have the plastic mvp lip as bumps and a low front is painful with gutters ;) the underside has been given a rough time thats for sure.

I drove to Sydney last month for some 400m action. I babied the crap out of the car with terrible 60fts (2.4 was my best) and slow ETs due to the auto TT diff and needing 5th to cross the line. best time for the night was 13.2 which is crap but was a lot of fun. Im going back up in May with the same setup and bigger balls of the line to see what i can do with 19" street tyres before i put MT street and 16" wheels on the back.

here are a couple pics from the drags

The parts will be going to High Octane Coatings to be covered in high temp black ceramic. the dump and wastegate tube will be further wrapped in titanium heat wrap material. Manifold will be treated to a heat shield as well.

Ive got a couple more parts to polish ready for a show in 2 weeks here in canberra.

Im putting my CAMS licence appilcation in early next week so i can also enter the car in a few events such as motorkahna and hill climbs etc My first Kahna will be in April which should be fun!

Nothing much to report. went to the Temora 1000 and made the top 20 which was pretty good. beat the gallardo so i achieved my goal haha the R35 were just incrediable considering they all had very few modifications!

so last minute change of plans has made decide against installing the diff before temora 1000 this weekend.

those parts with a few others will go on in search for ending this year with an 11 at the drags! but i think it'll still be wishful thinking!

Im hoping my new tyres will help me get some traction too

couple more pics to get the feeling of their girth

had the new tyres fitted for temora last weekend. they worked a treat. had some small problems fitting them at first due to the original ride height and now much larger tyre profile.

considering how loose the surface was i was only loosing traction on the launch.

all in all it performed reasonably well for an out right street car that drove to and from the event. my rotors have a nice blue tinge to them now but ive already started lists for what needs to be done for next year! best time was 23.42 and top speed i believe was 238.9km/h but i havent seen the last runs results yet.

most of the piping is from my greddy intercooler kit.

one pipe was changed here in canberra. i believe ESP used Rick from Powermaxx or possibly Custom fabrications in Queanbeyan (near All Points glass and the RTA)

i need to clean that pipe up and also replace the blue silicon join to black .

All this may change if i look at swapping the gt42r for a new precision billet 6766 turbo. for now i need to put my bigger diff in and get back to the drags to try squeeze and 11 out of the whale haha

    • Yeah, thumbsup from me. The distant shot of the bay just looks same-same as before.
    • Dad had a court case drag out with them from 1998 to 2004. He was in a not at fault accident, NRMA were the ones who covered the other person. They tried to blame his neck injuries on the fact he'd had an injury in 1981 on his extreme lower back where he slipped a single disc right near the bottom. Had been all cleared from that injury for years. This accident destroyed his shoulder, and f**ked a heap of discs in his neck, and he still has major problems with it to this day. Sarah's sister while on her L plates had a small Suzuki Alto, she had stopped to give way to an ambulance, and someone changed lanes behind her because there lane was also slowing, and rear ended her at 80km/h. (She had been stopped for a few seconds already too!). Car was completely f**kED. NRMA sent the vehicle around to 3 different workshops as they kept claiming "We believe it can be repaired, and not written off, we just need to find the correct workshop". It took 3 months, and a lot of arguing before they'd concede and wrote it and paid out. About two years later her sister had a Lancer, someone pulled out of a stop sign without stopping (in an 80 zone). Her sister swerved, hit the front of the other persons car (Instead of dead t-boning the drivers door), which ramped her Lancer, and made it roll multiple times down the road. It hit every panel on the way through. Her sister had slid her self out of the car, and remembers the ambos walking to the accident (They'd been sitting at a set of lights just down the road and witnessed it) and they were saying "Well, this ones going to be a fatality, no way you can walk away from that". Well, she did. And then NRMA sent two assessors out to look at the car, both of which wrote it off. They tried to send another assessor out, except a HUGE uproar was raised, and they FINALLY paid it out. That was on a car, that had damage to EVERY panel, you could see from 100m away the whole car was also twisted, roof bowed etc. Nah, we'll try get out of needing to payout on a $10,000 car... Her sister ended up with major shoulder reconstructive surgery being required, and was permanently limited in her ability to do her job as a nurse after that, as she can't (And was told before surgery too this would be guaranteed to happen) regain full strength in that shoulder. However, there was no choice to not have it, as she could barely use her arm, which was her dominant one, and was in near constant major pain. (And she's the type of person that would try and walk off a broken leg!) NRMA did the biggest run around on the personal injury side too for about 18 months, even to the point of trying to put 100% blame of the accident on Sarah's sister, even though the other driver admitted she didn't look, and didn't stop, and was charged by the police. Sarah used to have a Barina insured with them. It was a policy setup, paid all 12 months in advance. At the end of the 12 months, Sarah was living with me, I reviewed the renewal, it clearly stated "If you do nothing, your policy will cease on XYZ date". We did nothing, as we moved her insurance in with all of mine and I was with Shannons. We find out 10 months later, NRMA decided, because he DAD had a car insurance policy at the same address as what Sarah's mailing address was (Garaged address had been changed), that they'd put Sarah's (What should have been non existent policy) onto her Dad's month to month charges on his credit card. We had to jump through hoops, to get a refund. They didn't care that we actually found the letter that said "If you do nothing, your policy will cease" they made us prove we had NON COMPULSORY insurance else where before they'd issue the refund, and after they agreed to the refund, it still took another 6 weeks and 3 more phone calls for them to actually process it. They also had two insurance claims from storm damage, and they were an absolute cluster to get resolved as well (one vehicle, one house). Some how, up until about 3 years ago, her parents were still loyal to NRMA too, and we were like "How the hell are you so loyal to staying with them, when other places are so much cheaper, and they've f**ked you over every time you've ever had to make a claim?"
    • I got the four AN10 fitting welded up to the cam covers and started up making the head to sump breather/drain lines. The front passenger side cover I used a 45 up top and a 90 at the bottom into the stock VCT head drain spot (3/4" BPST to AN10 adapter) thats unused on the RB25DET NEO with some speedflow flame shield to protect it from the manifolds heat.   back passenger side was a 90 up top with some flame shield and 45 at the sump end. The rear drivers is 45 at both ends   the front drivers fitting is capped off for now but ready to go if i want to try moving the breathers around. I was told by the fabricator to leave all the welds raw for now to make sure there are no pin hole leaks. A lot of cleaning up, re bundling looms and degreasing to go as well as final assembly on the cam cover baffles. The first real test will be 28th March at a Circuit event. added complexity and more spots for leaks but overall looks relatively neat imo
    • Yeah i think the dash needs to come out. To get the loom or maybe just climate control and radio cluster. My mirrors are done i think the motors don’t work so well after flood haha i need the ac fan, you said you wanted to keep it for your 31 and interior loom not including boot. The wiper motor. I’m not sure how good the window surrounds are on the exterior on the pintara.  I will message you to get your bank details shortly 
    • Just another barrier put up to stop cars being modified. When we're all driving Chinese sewing machines, you won't want to modify it anyway, and you'll likely already have slashed your wrists and be locked up in a padded room for your own protection.
