Well after 7 months off the road/track the car is starting to take shape. :)

Really hoping to be finished by the end of June.

A lot of changes made to last year that I hope will help the car drop the times a fair bit from last year biggrin.gif

The RB25 we used last year has now been swapped for an RB26 (we will keep the RB25 though & drop it back in when the season is finished in October to drop last years times further on the RB25 - 9.93)

Hope you like what we are doing

Cheers

John

Still the existing GTST shell (with a lot taken out), std front wings & carbon doors, bonnet & boot lid.

Car has been back halved - I would have loved to have gone with a full space frame but not just yet.

Holy shit. That's some serious gear in there. So apart from the engine bay frame rails, outer skin on roof, quarters and front apron it's all tube?

5 speed jerico with air shifter - should make a huge difference to last year.

be great to be able to change at full throttle :P

Everything's good here John - my minor upgrades to the gtst pale in comparison. Which box have you put in it?

Thanks mate - certainly wouldnt be a grudge match as would be great to see a number of very very quick GTSTS out there as I get so pissed off with people dismissing them out of hand :P

Would love to start "rocking the boat" over the next few years to prove some points :mellow:

Nice work John ;)

Grudge match between your beast and the CRD/India GTS-T when its done? :mellow:

Guys hoping you can help :yes:

The car is being shipped off to New Zealand in October for some work to be done & hope that it's ready by feb.

I've got a good mate here in the UK who's emigrating to Perth & tells me there are some fantastic drag competitions in Feb/Mar.

I would love to ship the car from NZ to Aus to take part in a couple of comps before shipping the car back to the UK :)

Could someone let me know of any decent meets in Feb/March 08 - would love to run the car in Aus next year :(

Many thanks

John

    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
    • Assuming that they will come off without damage at all.... i would have thought just pull straight up off the spindle with a something or other than can reach underneath. Have you searched for youtube vids of people doing similar on R34s or any other Nissan from the same vintage? They should be the same technique, in all likelihhood.
    • Keeping in mind that sandblasting is really aggressive on softer metals like cast alloy, and you can do damage that you might regret. For trash wheels, not a problem. For wheels with value/scarcity issues, etc.... perhaps a less aggressive media is a better choice?
