Yeh I saw it and its not ment to drag race its from G-Tech and the car has balls its a handful i see him come down the street near my work an i bet most peoplke would have a hard time driving it as when it hits boost its all over the road. I was surprised on his first coupling attemps that he was not all over the strip, in my books he is a skilled driver to keep that thing straight

I just got back from heathcote. Ran my GTR. Only 2 runs.

First 13.3@108mph, Second 12.8@06mph

Car is stock, besides catback exhaust & hks air filters

how come you only got 2 runs? were there heaps of cars running?

normally should get alot more than that!

i cant wait to get mine down there bit of a hike 6 hrs but i think it will be well worth it wanna run a got time with all the work done to it

Is there a 1/8 mile track in Mildura?

I remember my first attempt at calder. Pretty intimidating. Racing a 12sec 1930s hotrod, open exhausts. couldn't hear my engine. could only took at the tacho to see if it was still running!

Actually, there were only around 8-10 cars racing :D I didnt see a need to race anymore, 12.8 is pretty much the best the car can do with stock boost, and just catback exhaust. No need to stress it out anymore in my opinion.

yer there a 1/8 mile but i waana run a 1/4 time and as mildura is a small town word gets round quick n ppl talk shyt nut im guessing that there aint mush diffrent were ever you go buy the look of things just cause you have a bad day at the drags ppl on your case

Nothing to be intinidate about...just let this noisy bloody things hammer off down the track while you sit there and listen to your tunes...When they have cleared the 60ft then let it rip. The noise thing from open ended pipes and V8s makes it hard. But i find you forget there are ppl around when you start to concentrate. You almost zone out

my first ever run was a against a 33 GTR that almost broke into 11's....12.1 or 12.2 i beleive he ran...

i honestly paid no attention to what he was doing, and im certain he paid no attention to me...everyones there to beat their own time, and rarely racing the car next to them....dont be intimidated...sure i was nervous for my first run, but once i hit the finish line, i couldnt wait to run again!

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
