That is exactly my point! And the same point a number of others have had (Marlin, djr82 etc etc).
Over Kaido's threads (there is a massive one in MSport), it's just about him buying parts without any thought or experience.
He is building a track/circuit/club GTR. The best thing initially it get it reliable, which he has done with oil cooler/turbo swap and so on.
The next part now is to stop worrying about spending money and go and drive the car. Learn it, talk to others @ club days to see what makes their car fast. Workout what they have tried/have not tried.
I think that's the best advice - and best of all, it's free!!!!
I'm not having a go at him or anything like that, I just think it's very silly to be talking about spending thousands of dollars without even knowing how to drive the car fast at this stage. It's the same thing many have been saying for 6 months now.
I'm in a similar boat. The GTR I've purchased has very similar spec/proven formula to many other cars and at a recent hillclimb i was 8 seconds slower (over 60 sec lap).
It's not setup slow - its driver slow. It'll take me many sessions to knock off those 8 seconds. I will get there eventually but it won't be by spending $1,000's on parts i don't need. It's simply experience which costs nothing but holds the most value
