Imported/already here???

[floody]

Thats a big ask... I REALLY WANNA SEE IT NOW...

whats it gonna be, drag/track/targa/street car??

remembering that Rickards has run an 11.06 on his old setup,

I was thinking the same thing. To throw a cat amongst the pigeons, Max Griffith's HR31 being substantially lighter than most GT-Rs, and with 383kw at the treads - I wonder what would happen if they stuck big slicks on that and ran it down the quarter? Rear end squat could be a big problem, but if it could hook up at all it would have to run a good time.

Yeah its a big call but when you see the car and its running gear i think you will understand why it was said.

My understanding is that the car came from one of the car companies in Japan and it was a demo car that they had built to show what they are capable of doing.

Now the car has been dyno'd in Melbourne i believe and the figures were similar to Ma'x R31 but the new owner (jedinathan's old man) is having the car changed back to GTR 4wd, which in my book is a wise move with this car if all the stories of it are true.

Would be very interested in seeing them both run the 1/4 and what times they would get and that goes for any other import doing the block these days that has a bit of work done to it. Just take Rickards's car for example, one very tidy import that has had the right mods done and producing some very impressive figures.

I have had a good look at it actually, and I wasn't saying it won't be the goods.

I have no doubt it should be right up there. Lets wait and see what it does.

looks awesome in that first pic but not sure I like the other angles.

Will have to decide when I see it in the flesh.

Sounds sweet though so congrats to the new owner.

Now in regards to being on the road - it's not yet. The best part ofcourse is to try and get it registered with all the gear on the car...which unfortunately wont be in time for drift mania.

I have uploaded 3 photos to the gallery, but can't seem to link them to my ID - where it would show that I have 3 photos against my name.
