Nice one! I doubt I'm going to bother with the cage and getting it andra spec but I'll cross that bridge once I get there. Once I get kicked out of WSID I'll do the odd trip to Heathcote and then probably find something else such as Wakie to occupy my time :)

Funny you should mention that... I've got an R33 GTR Vspec box in it at the moment and It's not real happy with me after the last trip. It's currently at CRD getting the box rebuilt with an OS Giken 5 speed gearset. I've got to say though, the box that was in it did handle a fair hiding and I was suprised it held up so well!

Nah I will not be putting nos in it, that's probably the last thing I'd do.

I'll most probably b looking at sum suspension or diffs to help get off the line better and I'd look at e85 to get more power out of the current set up.

But these things will happen over the next year or so

Yeah i understand that.

Just thought it might be a good idea while ive got it out to get it stripped and checked out before it copes a beating

Also the fella thats goin to do it for me is goin to do a mod to stop the 4th syncro from wearing out which seems to be a pretty common problem

hey man good to hear you got 10s after all that hard work that nyt after u ran 11.007

i ended up leavein after that run still couldnt get into fourth gear..

i ended up with a 12.4 rollin the last quarter so now im gettin my gear box sorted

they told me that the standard fourth syncro just didnt like the high revs and high speed so wouldnt go in

so now looking at getting a fourth straight cut gear put in the back to the track

    • Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.
    • Ceramic coating and heat shielding, you mean?
    • Turbos don't require pulling the motor apart so that's "easier". I would recommend the Nismo R3 turbos instead if you want to do stock twin turbo. It doesn't make as much power as the 2530s but it's only like ~50 whp off the mark and should have better response (ball bearing CHRA, slightly smaller turbo). A local that went with a Garrett G30 and 6boost manifold recently nearly burned his car to the ground after the hood insulator started melting and and burning so if you go single turbo I recommend doing a lot of research and validation work to make sure you don't do the same.
    • New rear lights, filler panel sprayed, cleaned and back together    before, during, after shots 😍
    • 100% is gyprock, I agree. Slip of the keyboard. Haha! I left my indicator bulbs out to save a bit of weight.
