it looks a little too .."butch" for my liking..Dont get me wrong, its a beast especially the bloody calipers! 8 pot on the front 6 on the rear!!?? ever been for a trip through the windscreen one day when you forgot to put the buckle in and came across a stray kitten?

its like the soft lines from the tip of the headlight dont blend with the hard edges of the pumped guards.. You can see it in a 3Q front shot..

im surprised the constabulary let you get away with that shit in britain! In oz mate, youd be defected for life!

Thanks Guys... I will be getting those pictures in hi res later, still waiting for it from my friend... I need a new wallpaper also. :rolleyes:

I'll post it up when I get it.

I actually know what you are talking about. I kind of thought that myself also. However, it is the only way of realistically "extending" the flare so it comes down straight... So it is a case where you have to give up a clean design in order to make it look more "Butch" ;)

Thanks for the comment though... And so far the police have left me alone, so that isn't too bad. :D

Oh, and always buckle up... at least in my car anyways. :(

I know this is digging, but dude!.

Holy muddaf*kka.

That is one shweet ride. got boost?

bahaha i think i am speechless.

umm yeah...awesome, insane, whats your number i am seeing this thing next time i am in the UK.

the front almost looks R33.

The Front Bar is a TBO Front Bar from Japan. But you are going to have a hard time finding it because the company no longer exist... There are still some copies around, but it isn't easy to find. It is not like you can just call up Top-Secret and ask for a G-Force Front Bar if you know what I mean.

There's a couple of shops in australia that sell TBO copies... not ones that line up to Garage Yanack fenders tho :P

That car looks awesome... not a fan of the Yanack Kit though...

we had one come down a while back, n just disn't like the square lines on it.

Hello Guys, thanks for the comment. Sorry for not checking for quite a while.

Several things had happened since I last check in.

The car has been featured in Banzai Magazine this Month (OCT 07)

http://www.banzaimagazine.com/latest-issue.htm

The car also have when down to the drag strip and see what is what.

The Result:

11.61 @ 123MPH (Don't have the Video for it)

Video: 11.9 Run with 1.89 60ft. Turn your speakers ON!

So Overall, I am happy with it. :thumbsup:

lol nice personally i dont think there that hard to launch but i dont know if that changes the more the KW's increase

They are not hard to launch actually if you ask me. It is hard to launch good if you wan a sup 1.8 60ft, especially with a big turbo and a narrow powerband...

Once that is done the rest is pretty straight forward. But to get a 2.0 to 2.2 60ft isnt that hard at all...but I don't know if that is consider as "good" launch in drag time. This is my frist time down the strip in the car afterall. I was just hoping for sub 12 seconds run. :thumbsup:

Oh yea, the Rear Bar is Do-Luck by the way. ;)

Edited by Nocturnal

ah well its a very good effort i havnt yet had the chance to take mine down the drags

i have a shot on the tube of doing a night time launch first 20 secs is a mates GTR

i would be happy with low 13's my even be high i have no idea what a pregnant pasty should run

Eh? I thought this car had 650whp. I expected faster times and MPH? :(

Actually, UK seems to quote Engine Power. :)

It should make about 600bhp at the hub on a DynaPack...

Overall, the setup on this car isn't "modern" if you know what I mean.

Short Stroke Engine (RB26) on a big single, low rev limit (7600rpm) and long gear ratio isn't a good combo for a good drag car. Being full weight with things in the boot doesn't help either. And I am runing on hard springs (10kg/7kg), so even with the damper fully made soft, the car still dosn't squad... :laughing-smiley-014:

I might be looking into a GT40R in the NEAR Future...and maybe 10's sec. :)

Again, thanks for the comment guys....

Edited by Nocturnal

10kg/7kg is relatively soft but i got no idea :)

my springs are 12kg/10kg 32step dampers

still looks nice i think you revved to high also and it bogged down just a little before springing into action

im thinking 5,000rpm 5,500 maybe :( have you tried different revs,

one thing ive noticed in my car is if you try to hard you stuff it up

10kg/7kg is relatively soft but i got no idea :P

Agreed....

If you try too hard you really do stuff it up.... My best run came from just letting the clutch off very slowly... Before I was trying to pre-load the suspension and all the other good things I read on the net...

if you just drop you clutch slowly and slip it through first, you won't shock load the transmission either...

As for how people get 1.5-1.6 60ft... I am all ears... :)

Oh, REV was 7K and just let it slip... :rofl:

yeah i always slip the clutch but i dont launch no where near as often as i used to when i first got the car due to having a front diff blow costing $$$$

but what ive found with my car is it seems to know when im going to launch and it slips really well

i only have a single plate clutch a Xtreme HD 9puk 850kg pressure plate

and with the car being a GTS4 it doesnt have the same gearbox as GTR so the gears are shorter

  • 4 weeks later...

"only thing was the sky decide to rain, then shine, then rain, then shine again" thought that would be a normal UK day ;)

man that looks crazy as, very nice work. :D

only thing id think bout changing, maybe paint those cam gears and move the petrol lid so it lines up with the wide body.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
