This is just a quick phone video from the roof at SMSP... You can hear the car coming around the back corners before you can see it haha... It was pretty slippery so was taking it pretty slow!

That looks heaps fun Matt. Car sounds so sick on gate.

Yeah once i can get it on a dry track and turn the boost up it will be some fun ;)

You looking after the black beast? Hope its going well...

Would like to see this thing boosted up in the track. Haha.

Beast is going good. Doing some 'light' reading on the Forced Performance section :) Lets see.

:woot: haha.... Good stuff!

Plenty of options around though, if you want to keep it stealth the HG turbos are getting good numbers or you can low mount a billet 3071 etc :D

Yes indeedy! HG is what Im leaning towards. The car will be a weekender in a few weeks time, so thats when the fun starts. I will contact you and pick your brains more about this.. :)

Anytime mate :) Just shoot me a PM if you need any info and ill do what i can to help!

This is a lap in the wet, trying to take it slow and feed the power but it was just too spin happy -

Love your idea of "feeding the power on". Just Stab that f**kin Loud Pedal! :laugh:

Good to see it's all working well and you're enjoying the Fruits.

:laugh: It got like that after a while.... I tried short shifting gears and taking it easy but it was just too slippery so i just drove it Powercruise style after a few laps :P

Its a good feeling to have it running properly that is for sure.... You think a return to SAU Nats 2 years later with some success? ;)

Hahaha could gear it from the pit while you were going through 5 and 6

Lol it was only on gate pressure so not as loud as normal! :P

Car sounds awesome Matt, are you going to texi?

Thanks man! Might be coming down for the day but the car wont be... Ill be saving it for some bigger events :yes:

Hopefully I can join you for SAU Nats this year. Car is coming along strong Mat!

Hope so man! How is the new beast?

Here is some more of session 2... Also shows 5th gear is starting to suffer, i keep getting a gearbox full of neutrals when trying to shift hard :/

Nice vid. My 5th gear has been grinding in ever since I got it if I change into it at anything over 80km/h :(

Still hasn't passed compliance.

It's been at their workshop for 2 months now due to paper work delays.

Hopefully it will be ready this week.

Damn :( I want pics and stuff once its done!

I had a chat to my Diff/Gearbox guy today and he said it needs a freshen up! 4th is tricky at times too! Apparently the synchro on 5th is really small and normally doesn't have issues as its gently shifted on highway speeds, but once you start tracking and smashing it into gear i guess it will start to hurt :( Also, need to extend by diff and gearbox breathers in the near future!

Good to know haha. I never do track days that require 5th so hasn't really bothered me as yet lol. The guy that owned my car before me did a lot of highway driving from Bathurst to Sydney so I'm just guessing he didn't change back when he should have and put too much load on the gear through the moutains or something.

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues
