R33gtr Drag Car

[Nismo 3.2ish]

Interesting build and looking great.

WHEN did you start the work ?

[Ryan1200]

Cheers mate. Was working on it every day from about mid October to Xmas but the motors has been a long process maybe 2 years we used lots of non off the shelf bits which took awhile to complete and I wasn't in a hurry because the car wasn't done anyway. Hopefully around 2months fingers crossed ready for tuning.

I am newish to all of this and think you blokes have great patients, I am struggling to handle 4 months of being treated like a mushroom ,lol

Guess when you are hands on it is more personal and interesting and time just gets eaten up.

I get impatient waiting for other blokes builds to be finished

What you need to do then is buy yourself a second one incase of this type of situation haha

They are just fabricating the oil pick up, the sump goes on and the motor is ready to go in

That colour is amazing!

[Nismo 3.2ish]

agreed ^^^

Had a TT300ZX close to that colour, loved it.

Is that a factory colour?

[Ryan1200]

Cheers. It's actually a Mazda 6 colour. When in the sun it's quite a bit lighter in person.

Had 2 300ZXs, one was red the other more maroon and that was a better colour for that car..

I think it is David that has a red R and looks amazing a well

Said I would never have a black car, but have one, looks great just cleaned, but give it 10 minutes ,LOL
