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".

      Anti Squat Kit

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      What are you doing with the car? street car or race car? People get hung up on the squat of the s/r chassis rears. There is positives to the squat if a car is setup and driven correctly for it (correct ride height, spring rate, alignment, damper valving). Generally just lengthen the rear traction arm by 5-10mm and that will help the squat and bump steer too. You are also correct with the roll centre too. This too also needs to be adjustable if you start messing with suspension geometry.   Having done quiet a bit of testing on race cars this year in regards to rear squat, I've seen some big positives from it in regards to drive off corners and traction.

      I find I am using the MX5 for everything except long overnight cruises with Jackie, or, if picking up the kids to go somewhere, the SS has so much more room inside, and is much more comfortable if your going to be doing Hwy driving for 6-8 hours And the MX5 isn't bad in stop go traffic for a manual transmission car, whilst the clutch kit has been upgraded from stock, it is still light, and also not having a stupidly light flywheel in it helps as well, I've spent alot of time sitting on the M5, M4 and M7 stuck in traffic when plodding around the Greater Sydney Region in it Another benefit is MX5's are not really a car that gets stolen, you can pretty much park it anywhere, and it will still be there when you return

      I can totally get why you like it for that sort of commute. I was thinking BoganDore because it's such a lazy drive, for things like stop start traffic.   I used to do over an hour in stop start shit from one side of Bris to the next, twice a day. My choice of car was larger displacement, with an auto. Basically for torque in low rpm/very low speed, and no clutch pedal. But loved a fun manual for the weekends, which the partner has (plus had the LandCruiser too for other fun drives). I now have an EV as a work car, and I tell ya what, ultimate daily driver, especially if youre out of energy, like I often am after work. I don't even need to touch the brake pedal   That said, I'm presently rebuilding the Liberty GTB to get it setup for weekend drives and track abuse! So small high revving turbo engine with 6 speed cog swapper!   But for your style of commute, I'd probably take the MX5 too!   For those choices, I'm ignoring fuel economy. Because I know how atrocious V8 daily life is for fuel from when I used to daily a manual SS, ha ha. Hence why I know I love the daily rumble of a V8

      People just don't understand how good MX5's actually are and how fun they are to drive, park, manuever. You feel like you have got some fun cheat code, while everyone else is sitting in their luxobargeSUV like normies who missed the point of living. It really is that noticable. As long as you/your stuff fit, and you're comfortable (they are), a MX5 is the best car on earth to daily around.
