"Tourists heading for Greece are urged to take enough cash with them to last their entire stay as Athens announced banks would be closed Monday in a deepening financial crisis."

Maybe I should just paint a big target on my back while I'm at it..

what level of work you getting done? prices reasonable? what about (wait for it)... timeframe?

We are creating in his words a torque monster.

Prices are reasonable by the sounds of it. Timeframe ETA is about a month once they get the car, so using the workshop project multiplier, probably ~3 months. Barry isn't building the engine, just assembling, but there may be other issues I need to address such as clutch, diffs, gearbox etc. which would hold things up.

Excited :)

Lol, never gets old

Simultaneously the strangest and most normal thing I've ever seen in my life. It was a rational and legitimate proposal; why can't they accept 50 x 20 cent pieces as a cover charge, is it not legal tender? But, you just don't do it.

cool. low-down torque or never-ending-spool torque? im sensing stroker kit and mild cams (but strokers so pricey).

whos building engine then? or is that trade secret?

Is it the 750 that is the original or was that a special edition size?

750 = not AU market

Am I the only one around here happy with beers?

no, I LOOOOOVE beer. it's just that it's not worth talking about like scotch

Torque everywhere torque

Real McCoy "Another Night" torque (I torque torque, I torque to you)

Engine already built; under wraps til it's done!

I got torque and my turbo is literally too small, so go get some 500KW low mounts

Also expect 1 year until its working

Unless you are just flat out buying an engine which is in stock which c'mon man does not ever seem to exist

We'll see - full story when it's put together :)

But yeah I may not be keeping my HKS GT-SS

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
