I dunno if we are or not. You tell me if we are talking about me... Although you didnt use a question mark, so its a bit ambiguous.

You asked a question so i answered it. Thats generally what i try to do around here when im not on the "use search button band wagon"

Good on stace for running an 11. Even if it was a 13 or a 15, i wouldn't laugh. People are giving it a shot.

Better than not or on the street, just remember i aint calling people names :)

Of course the modes aren't important :blink: you wouldnt care so much if they werent right?

Certainly not the first time i've raised the point (choice of word over biatchin')... certainly not the first time you've dropped them either.

Much of a muchness really

Paul time to start taking to the car with the Drill and holesaw! it is simple really, then its off to talk to the composites guys about a carbon laminate :)

or you could just get stace to drive it :blink: there is 60kg surely :)

I know GTR-700 is on a high fibre diet right now, so maybe thats your next move also?

you should be able to easily get the car to 1250kg dry....

Bit of a joke....ok so were talking about you now are we

My wife runs 11's.....so your 12.1 is the laughing stock now

Dyno modes are not important to us....you were the tool who thought it needed mentioning!

EDIT: Ive just been informed that this isn't the only thread that youve been bitchin' about this ....... you really must get over it. PM me if you feel you have more to say....as this is getting off topic

Can we possibly have one thread without the dick swining/bitchfest, I mean is it even possible?

A few people around here seem to be overly obsessed with continually ramming home how much HP they have or how fast they have run down the quarter.

To think I was going to post a thread with my build results and tuning numbers but with the way such threads have been going lately, I might decline.

Ah, good old GTR-700, I actually had a quick browse at exvitermini.com a few minutes ago to see if Mario had posted any further updates! :)

Yeah GTR-700 is just a shell with some expensive shocks and motec data-logging cables right now! There is nothing left on or in this car.... All I know is that it is on a serious diet, and 2 engines are in the build :blink:

Get that car down to say 1000kg and now that would get me to a WSID to watch :)

oh and to all those that say its not possible to get a GT-R to that weight, think again....

now.... back to the topic :)

I want to see Marko and Nick running on the same day!!! and while we are at it, Mik should have his car going by then also????

I have no idea Mik if you are staying with GTRS? or going bigger?

Hey Mate,

Nah I think you didn't get what I was meaning... basically I think Paul and Stace have done an Uber job!!! and if they make 400 or 450 or 500 who cares? Im sure that is the last thing they really care about....

What I was getting at with the 10.3 there are a lot more factors that just power figures to getting a good time :)

-driver

-suspension

-gearing

-weight!

-mechanical grip

-aero

-drag

-weather

-track condition

I'm no Drug racer, but those are to name a few... I would say there is more to be gained in suspension, tyres and weight reduction than most consider to do, and having taken a peek at Twoogle with you that day out at the SAU show, it certainly was heading in the right direction in those things ;)

I'm going to be at EC on the weekend, you should come and watch a few GT-Rs in action... turning :blink::P

how many more km to go mate also? I can't wait to see how well the new engine goes... :)

Ben

ive clocked almost 2000km so dyno tune will be next week with crd!

there are definitely many other key factors in running a great time like pauls - my point was that u need over 400awkw to run these times ;)

Cant wait to see your tune results Marko :) Im planning some nice long drives to clock up those run-in km's

If I got my way, my car would be on the road tonight...I hate waiting for stuff :blink:

Nah...definately not going bigger than the GTRS's

Nick,

I did the good old bathurst run for the 1st time (via berry/penrith etc...) & i clocked up 800km in 1 day - plenty of gear changing with hill climbs etc...

Hows ur car? I spoke to Jim & saw ur 33 (btw its tidy)

When will it be ready for you to pick up?

Marko.

Marko, thanks mate :blink:

At this rate my guess is around 2 weeks give or take.

The Bathurst run sounds great, its been some time since I have really taken the car for agood drive so it will be great to hit the open road.

PS: Check you Pm

Ben,

Great to see its come along so nicely. It's been a fair while in coming but it looks like you've made all the right decisions.

Now you just have to hope the NSW cursed SBS doesn't hit you!

But it would be great to see you down in Vic sometime - have you come down and play where the real track GTR's hang out!

:blink:

    • I got the four AN10 fitting welded up to the cam covers and started up making the head to sump breather/drain lines. The front passenger side cover I used a 45 up top and a 90 at the bottom into the stock VCT head drain spot (3/4" BPST to AN10 adapter) thats unused on the RB25DET NEO with some speedflow flame shield to protect it from the manifolds heat.   back passenger side was a 90 up top with some flame shield and 45 at the sump end. The rear drivers is 45 at both ends   the front drivers fitting is capped off for now but ready to go if i want to try moving the breathers around. I was told by the fabricator to leave all the welds raw for now to make sure there are no pin hole leaks. A lot of cleaning up, re bundling looms and degreasing to go as well as final assembly on the cam cover baffles. The first real test will be 28th March at a Circuit event. added complexity and more spots for leaks but overall looks relatively neat imo
    • Yeah i think the dash needs to come out. To get the loom or maybe just climate control and radio cluster. My mirrors are done i think the motors don’t work so well after flood haha i need the ac fan, you said you wanted to keep it for your 31 and interior loom not including boot. The wiper motor. I’m not sure how good the window surrounds are on the exterior on the pintara.  I will message you to get your bank details shortly 
    • Just another barrier put up to stop cars being modified. When we're all driving Chinese sewing machines, you won't want to modify it anyway, and you'll likely already have slashed your wrists and be locked up in a padded room for your own protection.
    • Yes, but no. I wouldn't want an IC7, because I think they are ugly, cramped and most of the displays I've seen are garish (and granted the last bit can probably be avoided). I wouldn't want to pay for the UC10. Probably wouldn't want to pay for the IC7, for that matter. And, it's an R32. I have cable drive speedo. Although, thinking about it, that's not a big obstacle, because at least I can throw the electronic sender back into the R33 box and then find a way to emulate the original (R32 or R33) speedo head's conversion of the saw-tooth AC speed signal into the square wave that the ECU wants, without the 1990s approach of hiding a gutted speedo head behind the dash. (another Arduino project, no doubt). I like the technical aspects of the big digital dashes, but I aesthetically and just general originality and feel-wise, like the original dash enough. More? Yes, more. If I had a UC10 I'd want to make the dash look as close to the original one as possible most of the time, and only flash up "DANGER TO MANIFOLD" when it needed to. But the other aspect of the 3-DIN slot digi gauge that I'm contemplating is that I'm a tinkerer and can barely resist a project, even if I don't need to add another to the list of unfinished ones. And I think there's enough precedent of others out there that have proven which equipment works (ie, is not washed out, or slow, or prone to failure, or all the other problems that can afflict such a project). I'm not quite enough of a micro-controller tech head that I know the best way to approach all of these decisions, and so striking out on my own to achieve it years ago would have led to unhappiness. But now, it seems like a project that I can actually achieve on the first or second go, with only a few sleepless nights. And that's why I'm actively thinking about it now. I would much rather have a thing in my car that I made from more-or-less scratch that does what I want, rather than something that someone else made that does some of what I want, not other stuff I want, and/or annoys me in some fashion. If I'm going to be annoyed, I need it to be my fault, so I know who to blame, and who needs to fix it. As an example of that - I have surveillance cameras at home. No, I did not go buy a kit with a DVR and 4 or 8 or 16 off-the-shelf cameras in a kit. No, I did not want to use any sort of could service to record or access the feeds and recordings from outside the house. No, I bought my chosen cameras directly (from China, lol) and built the DVR myself using a couple of different (ie, this was attempt 1 and attempt 2 to get a system I liked) software packages, running on Linux, with the server being a virtual machine running Proxmox. I found a way to offload the image recognition part of the system to a dedicated AI processing board (a Coral TPU, for anyone who cares) with the hardware passed through to the server on the VM, motion detection offloaded to the GPU, all storage is local in the home network, accessible from outside via my own self-hosted VPN). All done so that I could seal off the Chinese cameras in their own network where they can't access the internet and dial home to the CCP and backdoor my network. All things that you can't have if you do what is commercially available. And even with all the f**king around it has still cost a fraction of what it would cost to buy commercially.
    • ..could be worse... but out here, renting private affords some luxuries ...we've even been told the Sept dateline isn't critical, and I'd rather move stuff in the cool of winter, than slogging it out in the heat. Recall we were talking about the million dollar view this place has?...that's what he got for it... (won't be so nice when the quarry happens at the back in the future...lol..)... ...cool, I'll stick the wiper motor in a wee box...umm.... the pinny is GLX trim ~ I think that's about as close as it gets to Silo spec when it comes to the S2 pinny...ie; electric mirrors etc etc...dunno about the trip computer/wiring...I do electronics repair, I'd be willing to take a look at it for you. As you saw, all the dash is there in that car..and thinking about it, it'd be easier to pull the whole center section out, rather than just the ashtray and rails, but your call...
