Nice work russ sorry i didnt make it up to give you a hand today i managed to break a oil ring last week and hks wont have them in stock for 3-4 weeks so i have had to organize and put some suspension in the missus car will be taking her car to track day on fri and be forced to use her car for indy rally.As mine is now on the back burner untill my rings arrive cant wait to see it in action once the wick is wound up if i dont speak to you in the meantime i will see you on fri take it easy mate.

hey guys

sorry m3gtr! i didnt deliberately skip your questions, just waiting for a bit more time! had a huge weekend this weekend building and fitting the engine. not sure of the place the uss auction was at but near chiba/Tokyo( i think that's how you spell it) and and no the car was passed in , we tried to bid but we were to slow! lol so we went and made an offer. ( not saying what that offer was :P )

my lack of answer was definately not to do with what you do or dont driv. The build will be expensive but most of the parts we already have, engine/transmission/ brakes/ interior/ and most body panels will be coming out and be sold, basically only want the shell and some runnning gear and steering.

roy - that evo is the business, bloody hell! i am sure we are in for an eye opener, we will give it our best shot and hopefully take the 34 back the next year.

angus - we are going in the open class! :D

T04GTR - umm the 5th gear was circlip had slipped along the shaft allows fifth gear to move along just out reach of the selector so you cant get it in. we made spcer shim so that if the circlip moves the gear cant go anywhere, we were seeing the problem mainly when we would miss shift from second to fifth instead of getting third.

hey dazza - the would give ya the sh#ts! whats she think about using her car for indy? lol like my wife sarah last year !! haha see ya friday!!

okay update

engine is built and back in the car!! :D and gearbox in too, will finish tomorrow night but have to get new front section of exhaust made tuesday as we had to fit neww dump pipes as the old ones were cracked.

thanks for the heads up Giant. Its so good to see you guys so dedicated towards this goal. Im secretly hoping you can show them a fair whack of aussie know how and ingenuity.

LOL...i can totally understand why you wouldnt want to tell me the exact price you paid, but you and i both know it was a hell of a lot cheaper than you wouldve got it for in Oz!! Good for you...Nur edition is it?

Id like to know when youll be here in tokyo. Ill come up and give you guys some support...throw a few beers on the table in salute of your efforts.

keep it up mate, its going gangbusters.

Yer he told me that he was going with you to Japan. And your right he seems like a gem of a bloke, he is working on my mates EVO and its now bloody quick. So quick i will have to forge my bottom end to run more boost just to keep ahead of him :-) Yer and a very small world

Hey Russ - are you worried about not being used to the new car/setup before going to Japan? Not much time to familiarise yourself with the new setup....

IN A WORD.... YES!!

Would be good to have more track time, with this set up but hopefully we will get two more full days here before it goes and a full day a Tsukuba the day before to practice and set up for the track, and we also have secret weapon!

intial testing has been that the car is faster and is easier to drive, so that can only be a good thing.

the new motor should give us another 1000 rpm of useable power , which help ratios heaps.

this friday is an important test!

cheers russ

Coming up quick Russ! Good luck with it mate, looks like it's coming along nicely!

Those dump pipes are a work of art, beautiful stuff.

Troy: I've got the Super Lap 2007 on DVD if you want to borrow it, I know you were trying to track some Super Laps down. I bought it from the US for $20 or so.

more superlap madness - Saurus R32 GTR at Tsukuba. probably a bit more like what Giant's car will be like than the all carbon fibre HKS Evo - that was pretty extreme!

Wow, looks kinda fast. They were saying in the clip that it is an RB26/30, tuned down from over 1000hp. And it does 8 sec 0-400.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
