Ah Russ The Brakes! (It has a whole new meaning now).

Sorry to hear mate and I hope you get it all sorted out ok. Although maybe if it's only half fixed by September that won't be a bad thing. Infact Duncan - how much do I owe you to not give Russ a controller before Oct? lol

Well since we've now already won our 58-0 bet against thise 2 hacks by default is there anyone else out there up for the challenge for Dutton Vic??

Looks an awesome layout this year with 2 days at DECA and now Sandown thrown into the mix. Should be a much better GT-R event now.

dont get to cocky or i may have to bring out the new toy early!! :laughing-smiley-014:

The for sale add has been in my favourites folder for ages...mylotto numbers just didnt come up. :3some:

The only thing that needs to be changed is that front bar...then your in business.... :laugh:

You going to run it as is, or plans to dump the single for some smaller twins ???? Be good to see how it goes compared to the R32

If your lookign for a co-driver who will bve sure to bin it far worse then that then im your man :whistling:

I heard you were building an EVO 9 (which I was most disappointed to hear) but unless you are putting an RB engine into an EVO then I take it those rumours are false.

So which car are you bringing to Vic (I take it you are coming to Vic yeah?)

HEY ROY

Our thoughts exactly front bar has been removed & getting a new lower lip, also getting rid of the two tone

lower side skirts. not sure how it will go against the r32 as far as drivability should be interesting.

the engine in it will be only good for drags i think, we are dynoing it up and then may sell either the whole engine or build a twin set up for it, I HATE LAG!! main reason we bought it was it was to good a deal to pass up.

Snowy the evo is my wifes car, i may drive it sometimes, i think they are a great car.

but when you get out of a great supercar like a modded gtr everything else feels a bit ordinary and boring as you guys would know. :)

cheers russ

LOL - I was going to say that this isn't exactly motokhana friendly!

The R32 I trust will be ready for Vic though Russ? Changing the Sunday to Sandown has really made Vic a GT-R event as Sandown is a drag strip like QR. My new engine finally goes back in tonight so hopefully by the weekend we'll know how ready we'll be for you this year.

And its the older style bush bearing T51, not the latest ball bearing T51. So the OS would want to have close ratios...but who cars. The car is absolute horn and the noise of the thing at full song would make children at the playground in the next suburb cry :)

Haha - so what you are saying is that it won't pass the 90dB limit het Bris??

Speaking of - Russ did they actually check anyone this year for dB as they have been harping on it in all their emails etc.

NAH they havent checked any noise limits to either event so far.

there is only a slim chance they we can go to VIC which is a shame.

cheers russ

apparently that turbo has been zanitani tuned, not sure but was told its either titanium shaft or impellor or both, maybe you could shed some light Roy??

The Zeni Tani thing is all i know, i thought it was a Titanium turbine...i only know what i have found on the for sale adverts in overseas websites/publications and what the original owner posted on SDU years ago. Ill have a hunt around SDU tonight and see what i can see

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
