sh!t, yeh!! who wouldn't... but not for 330K..

here's some more whilst I have nothing better to do. FFS.. you really have a problem. And SURE THE MODS HAVE TO CHECK THIS ONE OUT.. wa wa wa wa :gaga: .. sort of ironic.. baby sounds, coming from WA Your experience really shows, your knowledge is certainly a great benefit to all.. geez I think you could even teach ben from racepace and sydneykid a thing or two..

well done 600hp, good to see some realistic genuine numbers, unlike some dyno queen d...'s who need to grow up and get on with it. Most of us were holding our breaths waiting for merli's result, and I never really found out what hapened after his problems, and was so keen to see the results.. I think he even had some NOS planned aswell.. Anyhow, you must be pretty happy with the result as most were saying the GTSS's would struggle getting over the 300-310mark... That's an impre$$ive list you there... looks like you spent some well earned $$. as far as response, how early are they coming on boost? I "think" I agree with SK, but he's looses me a bit with his tech talk (probably has something with getting kicked out of school at 15) but why would want to change the plenum.. SK and others have confirmed the GTR plenum is pretty capable of "I think" 800hp or more..

aaargh! my mistake.. read it too quickly...

CSL and Standard M3's, I got this from the No1. Managers mouth... I just rang him again to confirm, and he says yes they will cover you... he rasied a good point aswell, saying "BMW themselves organise race days, where clients can bring their own M3's down and race, and if anything happens they will still be covered".. I could be mistaken, and this might only be a "mate rates" package for us, but as far as what I've been told (confirmed only five minutes ago) from BMW themselves.. if I buy an M3 today take it sandown on sunday, blow a diff, I will be covered.

Leewah, the NOS is making you loose your sanity kidding... they're a very very nice car, infact they are one of the only cars that are covered under manufacturers warranty on a race track and they're a super balanced car. a stock gtr will still getaway rolling or off the line, I've got a few mates that have them, in SMG, Manual, and a mate that just sold his M3 Convertible SMG, Silver on Red with 19's... out of pick the coupe manual is go, the smg is fun and easy with off the line, with it's launch control, but too many buttons to press, if your put on the spot for a run off the line... the convertible is purely hollywood and goes like a stock WRX, very bottom heavy and ways about 200Kg more. if your over the jap scence then yeh a m3 will do. Leewah, I know of a carbon black on black coupe, which has had and chip, exhaust and airfilter upgrade, it makes over 300kw, that for sale..

fatz, :slap: I just a call back from them, 100K... you kidding. it's 330K landed & complied the process is they first import an stock standard R34 which has been hand picked by nismo, the is complied in AU, then sent back to NISMO for the Ztune mods... it returns to AU as a Ztune... loophole? probably... but for 330K? they better be stamping the name "Carroll Shelby" somewhere.

WTF! 100K.. Well I just tried calling powerplay, and just got an answering machine, I left a message to some girl called joanne?, and called the mobile aswell, and left a message there also. If what youre saying is true, then I'll do it the deal now. But if I recall, funkymonkey saying they are no able to be complied into australia?

edited by me, meshmeh.. I need to grow up and not get sucked into girly slang matches with warriors...

OH, and to settle the matter on this old thread we ended going keeping the plate "NUR" and cancelled the "NURN.1".

classic... must be fans of mine.. people actually go out of there way to search up my post history, Daniel, it's all because I disputed a forums members dyno figures, for a stock gtr making 410kw at the rears... only in WA ofcourse. gatty, dragqueen, pnblight.. etc thanks for the warm interest... but don't worry, I'll soldier on, and I'll be ok! again thanks for the interest.

hi godzla, The eleanor varies, there's a few mobs in the US making them the 3 main coy's are 1) the original "cinema vision" kit US$5K just the fibreglass not inc, lights, billet grill, rear light set up.. etc , 2) mieri racing ~spelling "probably the best one out there for the refinement, and fitting US$4K just the FB 3) Rebel which is around the US$2.5 again just the FB. but has been known to be poor quality. then you've got to buy the wheels: originals are hand made by PS Engineering, or you could go hallibrand replica GT40's, or Edelbrocks 454's. I had spoken to a guy called peter from OZ Wheels in sysdney who hand makes the GT40's to just about any size and offest you want.. and they worked out to ~$600each for 17x10's, 17x9's. all up a complete kit fibreglass, grill, rear taillight set up, PIAA blue lights, spotties and depening on wheel choice, etc.. would easily be close to US$10K+shipping. Then you can go silly, and get the "go baby go" shift kit with NOS switches... but you still have interior, suspension, engine, etc to do... bla bla bla.

hahah... yeh forgot to add that one to the list... was offered a couple, through a mate at BMW between, 75K-110K.. stillwells had a nice ~01/02 black on black. something about the update model I think "00 onwards apart from the 7inch screen, they changed the Variable cam, or was it valves, or something like that.. fun to drive, a little slow, and looks are ageing... for the same money I could pick up a current 545, but I don't need to right off any tax just yet, had a C32AMG we could have picked up for 70K.. but again a little gutless. Ronin, yeh I know!! The heart say 34NUR, the pocket says "you must be mad paying 100K for a rice boys car" the misses hated the GTR, but now she says "just buy the gtr, because your driving me mad, the more you think about it, the more crazy your ideas are" I saw a HQ premier ute with a side step body, found the company who make em, in QLD "hughes".. now that looked awesome, even thinking about one of those aswell... ...maybe the misses is right :kick: I think I'll stick to driving whatever I get my hands on, and the work trucks for now...

do you have a copy of the engineers certificate, if so would you mind sending me a pm.

Hey Shan, thanks for the link, the only reason we thought cobra, was to have it running a GTR4WD setup & engine. Otherwise, not really keen on it. Funny you say a GT500KR, I found one the other day, put in my offer and just an email this morning from Bob Eliezer, saying it was sold 2weeks... http://www.shelbymustang.com/cars/1968_she..._pictures.shtml PS: US$56K... Bit of a bargain I reckon, considering they fetch well over US$120 no problems. As far as the hertz version, a black and gold one sold for AU$140K, not that long ago.. but then, I would have to have "stupid/or sultan of brunai" written on my head if it was going use it as a daily driver. Snowwy, :spew: each to their own, but sorry mate thay just dont do it for me! the misses is already freaking out how I could even consider a cobra which she calls a "gogo mobile", and says the stang is a MUZZA Mobile?? go figure!! I think she spend too much time watching Dr Phil.
