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

"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.

My Friend Tom Higgins have made some wallpaper size photos for me.

I am amaze what photoshop can do. Tom is not a professional photographer, but he is great at photoshop.

He is trying to be a free-lancer; but like everything, he is still learning.

If anyone here is a pro photoshop artist and got any pointer, please feel free to let us know. :(

Okay, On with the show. (Click on the picture to get full wallpaper size jpg)

    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
    • Literally looks like direct port nitrous haha
    • They are in fact just nozzles. They are there only to produce a spray pattern and limit flow. The injector itself is what I use to control flow to the 7x nozzles. My old system had no injector and only PWM the pump. This lead to a lot of inconsistencies, and poor atomization at low pressure when the pump was ramping up.
