Yeh i think enrico is right

I doubt he'd ever sell the try09s R33, would of spent like 100K on it,

And probably would only sell for 40K

No point building a car to that level of performance and then selling it to someone else for them to have fun with

No he wouldnt seel the plates, he owns the red ss. His skyline is no longer try 9 but i dont think im aloud to say nemore, should be finished in a few months tho keep an eye out for it, it wont be registerable.

He keeps performance forums up to date with his car, so posting a few little details should be fine id guess. Last I read he was going for 8's, last time i saw the car at DMD, it was painted another colour with mini tubs I think.

Try O9 Still Exsists But Under New Ownership. The New Owner Had Fall Out With The Cars Original Builder (cant Name Any Names) And It Has Had A Colour Change (not Sure But I Think Its Now Blue)and Some Other Mods Being Done At This Point In Time. The Ss Is His Other Car Which He Has Put These Plates On While The R33 Is Off The Road.

Keep Yours Eyes Out For It Soon.

Dude dont know where u get ur details from but his skyline will never be back on the road

Nismo King has it right. the car is yellow, and yes is mini tubbed, no interior, and yes 8's and optimistically, well the mechaic building the car says 7's. It only weighs around 800kg's now, RB30 block with GTR head, hug big custom made turbo, custom plenum, custom manifold, dry sump. I know i helped put the engine together while i was still working.

secretgarage, you know you don't have to put a capital at the start of each word, makes it really hard to read!

try09's has been sold before hasn't it?

A few years ago when it was first built under different rego, it came up for sale. And brett? or what ever his name was bought it and built it up under "TRY09's".

      People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now.

      Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.

      They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.

      I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
