Its looks similiar to the one I have. Though there isnt much to go by in that picture.

This car will be even more competitive with all this development!

i wondered if it was Astra as they are easy to get. not sure how efecient they are thoe.

[Boosted Zed]

Holden Astra. There are three models but only one works and works very well. Email me for more sales@gtr.com.au

Any updates John...been doing any testing? What are the Wakefield times looking like? Keen to see more pics of the bus finished

[Beer Baron]

I visited Johnny last month and won a bet. Johnny bet I could have a steer if I could get n and out of the zed cleanly. Much to his disappointment I fit in there nice and snug. It's a nice cockpit. Looking forward to a test drive soon!

Car is looking very serious now. It should be well up the point end.

Awesome build, updates?

Some more photos of engine rebuilds

After busting a head gasket at Superlap on the stock motor and finding it's limit, we are now bulding a tuff motor and increasing to 3.5 litre. Using Darton Sleave kit (closed deck) using VQ35HR head gaskets which are much better. This requires modifying the engines coolant flow and does away with the two rear thermostats, yes the VQ30DET runs three thermostats and high temp ones for emissions reasons, they open at 95 and 105C, crazy and not good for racing. We are using a VQ35 crank, modifying the block, forged rods and pistons. Whilst at it we have slightly ported and then polished them and domes. We relieved the dome to match the 95.5mm pistons up from 93mm. Also adding ARP main studs. We had everything Cryo treated.

I was thinking about this.. you're making a vq30 a vq35 basically by swapping the internals. A vq35 head flows more and you could possibly fit the vq35 heads with some mods... but all that work to make a vq30 a 35 why not just buy a 35?

cool car, definitely more 'unique' than the hordes of evos built for circuit work.

made me think of this car:

[Boosted Zed]

Yess it is UNIQUE. Thanks for the vid, which I had not seen before. Steve from Just Jap sent me pics of this car years ago.
