Hi Guys,

Just joined but i will be mostly lurking and keeping up with the scene. Recently finished up my GT-R after what felt like an eternity off the road. In that time i was playing with my S14 S1. That was lightly modded with exhaust, 15PSI, front mount, SAFC but i managed to get a 12.80 out of it with a dead clutch. Don't really go on many cruises any more from fear of EPA but i do try and get out to the drag strip. Have built my GT-R for circuit work/daily street but i hope to improve on my time with the 200sx at WSID.

GTR has:

Twin T517z

HKS twin plate clutch

Hard pipe kit

Twin oil coolers

Koyo rad

Power FC with twin Z32s

Ohlins coilovers

33gtr Brembos

Black TE37s

supporting fuel system

nismo underbody braces

Tomie cams

ETC.

Yet to get a real tune through it but hoping for 360awkw+

i notice you have a P plate on the GTR in your pic. is that still current? just asking before i go on a bit of a rant. if it isn't, then welcome and ignore the following.

i thought NSW had P plate restrictions? do you have an exemption or are you simply disregarding the laws? if the latter, do you realise that you are part of the reason why imports get a hard time from the cops. the laws are there and everytime the cops pull over a P plater in a restricted car it only hurts the image of imports both in their eyes, and the eyes of the general public. this means that more pressure is put on the police to give import owners a hard time. it doesn't help other P platers either. not to mention the possible implications for your insurance in the event of a crash.

sorry for the rant, but we have plenty of people starting threads asking how to get exemptions so they can go buy a turbo car, or threads about how they bought one anyway and then start going on about how they race everything they see. doesn't do the image of the forum, and import owners in general much good.

Yes that's a current picture. And yeah from my time driving i have noticed quite a few traffic light kings young and old quite annoying really. But i guess that's what you have to put up with driving a car that stands out in Sydney. I am more of a sedate driver no point driving like a lunatic on the street i save that for the track.

How over sensitive have we become that instead of congratulating a new member on the purchase that most of us aspire to (R32 GTR) we give him a hard time for driving it on his p's. The police and law makers already hate imports, this guy driving his GTR on his p's, while a risk personally, isn't going to do any more damage to our rep.

Top job Desavona, hopefully everything goes well.

Very jealous right now.

    • 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.
