that's not fair Roy, they have had some excellent drivers, and docking knows how to prepare an f3 car. something else has gone wrong there

The word I hear is that certain team principle is more interested in having a good time, getting drunk and partying than spending the time and money on running a competitive team. Maybe that's why they have trouble finding decent people who will work with them anymore.

Cheers

Have they paid for the thing or are GReddy using it as a demo. That would make more sense. No doubt Nissan knows about the situation here in Oz with the grey import rules and messers Buckley and GReddy are part of Nissans performance chain - they have been for decades. Theyre not some local shop selling other peoples products. For CRD to get their hands on one and claim to be on the road to development gains before the official release is dubious for me no matter which way i look at it.

Yeah, feh sure, i can just see GReddy singeing that bridge with Nissan Japan right now, dontcha know?

i spent ALOT of time with GREDDY in japan, and some time with JIM and GREDDY at TAS and i can tell you junichi (GREDDY boss) hold great respect for them (CRD).

and its good to see it end up at CRD, jim was jovially hassling junichi and daniel for a thrash at TAS and a later on at a killer night club we went to (all nighter too) he also mentioned the possiblit of buying it :down: .... i could only dream of coming up with the 80-odd k +shipping + compliance ++++ :P

The Electronics and drivetrain will be the biggest question mark and require the most smarts. But the global market and application of components is huge, so a great opportunity if there is enough kitty to get the development under way

nice and close for MOTEC to have a play now :down:

Probably not. They have had Will Power etc, but the drivers that get the more consistant drives have not been our most promising young drivers. And Docking know a hell of a lot on how to win, only i imagine the funds are not there for the Docking team to do what they need to do in order to move up the grid.

Envy Imports has Haltech stickers all over there r35.. and like URAS said motec will sooner or later get there hands on a car be it the CRD car or another..

I realy do think people over estimate the japanese scene and the opinion that there parts are superior, the only advantage japan has over other countrys is that the car's (imports in general) are pleantyful and released in the country and easily accessable. I would have though a bucket load more parts would be available from japanese tuning scene seeing they've had the car alot longer than any other country. I wish i had an r35 GT-R, there's a massive list of parts I'd be making/testing, bigger intercoolers, hard intercooler pipes, adjustable suspension arms, remote oil filter just to name a few.

Only time will tell.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
