Awesome, thanks for taking the time to share your story :rofl:

I think it truely shows whats needed to get a GTR into the 9/10 sec braket, and how its definately not easy or cheap!

So when are you bringing your ontourage of high powered GTRs to brisbane :rofl:

Wow, this is an old thread. I cant believe it has taken so long & it's still not ready.

The age old saga of "while it's apart - lets do this & this" has taken over & caused the current build to drag out to long (no pun intended!)

The GTR has been in hibernation at Tilbrooks for too long. The new engine is built, with dry sump, mechanical fuel pump, 12x 1600cc injectors & TA45 turbo on custom manifold.

Eveything is there, just need to fit water pump, wire up injectors, fit & paint new custom bar, & tidy up a few things - but generally, it is mostly done.

The main hold up has been all the breakages on my street GTR - but the latest (& hopefully final) engine build is in, along with a 6 speed sequential OS gearbox & I have been promised I can pick up the car this week.

After that is finalised, the last remaining jobs will be done on the race car. I still have to get some new wheels for it(looking at 16" Racing Hart wheels with ET street tyres) & would love to get the exterior painted to match the R34 blue interior, but due to funds I may have to wait till next year to finish the detail parts of the project.

As far as time cards go - the race car ones dont count as the 9.45 I ran was using Elf turbomax fuel. The 12.1 from the R34 was given to Ben Ellis/Martin Donnon & I didnt get it back - check with those guys if you dont believe the time.

When the new setup in the street GTR is run in & sorted, I will be racing it, & if it pulls a good time I will certainly provide proof of the run so it can be listed on this forum.

In the meantime, keep up all the good work you guys & keep cruisin.

PS. I was in Gold Coast the other day & caught up with Theo Wollet for a cruise around the broadwater car park on Sat night.Great to see so many Skylines there. Definately looking forward to racing up there & bringing my street car for some cruising Qld style.

Cheers,

Keep up the awesome work

Mate, that only matters for the HPI list - NOT for the timeslip registry in the 'Motorsport' section of this forum.

Not that we don't believe it, John. Just that the rules are the same for everyone. I think I know which timeslip we want on the registry :P

My car still lives!!! But not as a drag GTR anymore - if AIR ever got their act together it would have been great.

Anyway, after all these years we have detuned the GTR & turned it back into a more useable circuit car & will be making

its debut at time attack shortly. I have been having fun in my other street R33 all this time, but cant wait to get out

to Mallala & try my hand at circuit instead.

No, I am happy to drag it again if AIR opens up.

Too much time/hassle to race interstate so will just stick to circuit

& have some fun till then.

Did 1 min 16.4 on our first outing to Mallala but had fuel pressure issues with pump

that was designed for drag so had to trailer it. I suppose a new set up always

takes time to sort out & I am going to have great fun trying to tame this GTR on the track.

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
