Hey Bris,

Since you seem to know so much baout this car - how does it stack up against say Benno's or Sams?

BTW - Russ - you know about the Nov NSW excursion right? John (UAS) said he spoke to you about it and it would be awesome if you guys can make it down too.

I don tknow that much at all about the car. Liek i said only what i have seen in adverts here and there and years ago when the owner was talking about it on SDU. So dont really know how it compares to Sam or Ben's car.

Though i suspect it would be more Sams car then Bens, because of the weight of the thing...but really who knows?????

I KNOW its quicker then my car :wave:

oh and its faster than mine too! it doesnt go at all at the moment!! ;)

Neither does mine...first my car looked like this...

Then i hit something on the track...

Then a lap later the gods caught up with me when that damn cat told them who did it...

Which up close looked like this...

But JAG33 came dot my rescue...

So after fixing it i thrashed it around for while, was within a second of Snowman around Sandown the one session we did together...then parked it for a paint job which is about done.

I repeat, for the record...Sandown Sprint Session Three. The only time we have been in a Super Sprint together.

Lap 1

Bobo the Snowclown - 1:31.0100

Roy - 1:31.8900

Just warming up.

Lap 2

Bobo the Snowclown - 1:25.8500

Roy - 1:25.5800

Would have gone quicker but 1600kgs of steaming blue sh1t was blocking the track in front of me.

Lap 3

Bobo the Snowclown - 1:23.8200

Roy - Spun at Turn 4, but my Data Logger had me 0.4sec quicker then my best to that corner. I only spun because of the road block's corner speed was so slow that i almost t-boned it mid corner :D

How much power does your car have Bobo? How many times have you driven around Sandown Bobo? ... that was about my 10-11th lap in the dry.... :(

I would stop putting sh1t on my car as the fact that you are not really that much quicker then me in my POS, suggests something about someones ability to drive his finger up a dogs ass :mad:

Perhaps Bobos car is has never recovered from its stage fright either. I should mention my car isnt as pretty as yours either so dont have so many ppl willign to help push it

LOL... i miss all the smack talk on the Autosport site :laugh: Ive got nothing except personal attacks on a bloke who drivers circles around me :O

The top few inches of the guards and doors are painted gunmetal grey to match the stock colour of my car so you could either veeery carefully sand it back or paint the same section to match your car.

Just weighed them, bonnet is about 7kg (stock gtr ~10kg?), doors 17kg ea (stock ~30kg) and guards 1.2kg ea (stock gtr ~2.Xkg). That's with all electrics, hinges, handle, window, motors, speaker etc so i imagine you'd knock off a fair bit with an acrylic window.

you have pm neil

Fire started when the heater hose into the firewall split and sprayed a mist of glycol ethanol over the glowing red exhaust housing/manifold...the stuff is flammable when in a 5% mist with atmosphere, and is preheated above 90 deg C. LOL a few things had to happen for it to ignite, if it happened a lap earlier or on the street it would have been just a coolant leak. It just happens the split was fine and the coolant temp was about 94 when it split.

I now run sheathing on the line to protect it from the heat

Ill ask what the PM is probaby about ;) How much do you want for the doors?

    • 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 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
