  1. Went to the drags last wednesday night for the skyline night for the yolos last minute just made the last entry,
    I knew I wasn't going to get a good time down but just wanted to get the car on the strip again hadn't driven it for a few weeks. Rear tyres were bald as from RW still, and didnt have any gear with me to let the tyres down etc.

    Ended up running an 11.0 @ 135mph, Just couldn't get traction off the pad , i was slightly impressed as everything is still setup for track rather than the strip so I didnt even think i would run a low 11. But now ive got Got some new tyres now so hopefully if an opportunity arises I can get down for another crack with some more attempts

  2. To any of you that aren't graced with my presence on facebook, I'll chuck a couple of these up. Car got put on the Racewars & F&F 7 promo at morley galleria week after collie, got it all cleaned up nice, Had alot of interest.
    Was a good night apart from my Parking lights button on the dash having a burnt out LED and me not knowing it was stuck on , Dry cell didn't like that one at all.
    PPG straight cut box is being swapped out for my old stock box for racewars so I can have a 5th gear in time, And hopefully lasts long enough to get a Vmax crack out of it. Will also be on its full power tune to so should be in for some fun :)
    Orange indicators have gone on to replace the old smoked corner ones, and finally sorted some side indicators!, Next up probably some Gauges, fix up the interior lining, and probably get the boot relined. Small cosmetic things.
    maybe a holinger

    at racewars had a Good weekend had so much fun, Wish I had my ppg box in! but i bent the 5th selector fork so back to stocker. Stock box held up well,
    First pass I just wanted to feel out the track over the 1000M and get a feel for the shorter braking distance as this is the first time I'd had the GTR out for some real speed runs to really open up, after some encouragement from Brockas basically to not be a bitch I nailed it on the 2nd run
    Felt like I had enough for a 260-265 km/h pass with a better 2nd gear grab off the launch, but really couldnt be bothered lining up again against that headwind! All in all fantastic weekend, Had some serious fun lining
    up the other boys on the 800 and 400 roll ons and stop starts, Can't wait for the pictures and videos to start popping up I have seriously got to hear what that launch looks like from the outside haha.
    Good to put some names to faces off the forums cheers for everyone coming up for a chat and supporting my build from start to finish it's really paid off! And to the guys at the workshop and the spectators and organisers at RW for making it so fun.

  3. Brought car home from the workshop, time to put some run in kms on it,
    Can confirm, Sounds like honda tractor with the silencer in, Still loud. Tomei Ti ftw.
    Can confirm Straight cut gears are LOUD as f**k.
    Can also confirm no A/c, Such regrets, Much why's. Should be ok when weather cools down a bit, I like driving with the window down anyway.
    Filled the tank up full , Drove home, Did a nice freeway run, then took a fair few backroads near my house for a bit of stop start, Quite happy with where its at, Will try to get a power tune in the next couple weeks.
    So happy with the effort and countless hours the boys have put into it, All the extra bits and pieces absolutely finish the car off, Still a couple bits and bobs we need to get sorted to finish it off, but for now RUN IN ;)

  4. Don't forget to put the cap back on the brake master !!

    Friken looks great mate congrats

    What sort of numbers are you hoping for once it's all done ?

    Haha it's all there now, With the current setup I'm looking at anything around 650 although Closer to 700 the happier I'll be but originally decided to settle with the OS giken twin plate and maybe the turbo might hold us back from a figure nearing closer to that, But anything near 490kW I'll be happy with everything's there for future power provisions anyway

  5. Here have some more pics. Street tested today, Car still kicks over first shot on e85 everytime, Even after not being started for a week which is awesome. Hoping to get some run in k's on it sometime early in the new year when I'm not yolofifo'd , still working on getting the startup vid on here, But cant seem to embed a facebook video tried everything. :|

  6. Couple update photos, Fair bit has been done, Mainly Radiator, Killswitch/Isolator in bay, Fuel Reg, Fan shrouding, all bits and pieces and finishing touches up , Engine bay is just about complete, So very close. Couple porn shots to keep people excited. Forgot to get a picture after we popped the new Nissan GTR Ornament plate I bought on the engine covers, It absolutely just sets the finishing touch off in the bay.
