which would mean that mario still owns aussie record.

That is correct.

I understand its anyones right to have their say and view their thoughts on matters,but I think its time that I set the record straight about mario and his involvement in HIS GTR700 project,Comments on the forum about cheque book racing etc.Its fair to say that Mario has paid for the project and owns the vehicle in full  

Its not fair to say that thats all his involment in the project is.  

Mario has been very heavily involved in the development of the vehicle .Componentry ,combinations,set up.Those who have been involved in a project of this caliber will undestand what its all about ,for those who havent I hope you understand when I say that ,building a vehicle with the potential that marios has  

is never as simple as FLEXING YOUR MASTERCARD.Who in their right mind will SELL you a combination that will ultimately challenge them.Mario spent most of his spare time reserching  

possible combinations and ultimatelly had the final say.Mario definately didnt just buy myself (CRD) or Andrej the driver.  

Its a full team effort to build and all involved have a purpose and their place. Understand this first then comment.

there's your prescious FACTS!!!

I agree with RONIN, there is no need for snide comments.

I think the times both Reece and Mario have achieved are amazing. I just wonder what time they get without slicks and running Nitto's, like most do in Japan.

See'ya:burnout:

Congrats!!!!!!!

Another one for tha SKYLINES!!!!!!!

Both GTR700 And the heat preparations R32 deserve RESPECT!

The cars and their owners!

We all knw how hard it is to do up, develope, maintain and continue to progress, in our hobby we do it on a smaller scale to these guys they must have it 3 4 times harder, so much deserved respect!

Its one thing to be critical (and i only see it fitting to be critical if you are on or passed the person or thing you are criticising) and another to be jealous!

Once again a MAJOR CONGRATS!!!!!!

Its a step forward in our hobby/sport for our cars (Skylines)!:D:( :burnout:

    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
    • February update 🙂 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear!
