^i dont think it was a "blow you off" responce, he made a valid point.....and if i just spent 150k on a car i would want to focus on work to try and re-coup some of that money back aswell, not play around with cars in a carpark....all of which they have raced before :O

madaz, good luck to kier etc but haltech already have a development gtr that they have been playing with, finding it quite hard to get past the supreme computer onboard these cars, they have managed to defeat the 180km speed limiter and increase the boost, gettin the gtr down the qtr half a second quicker. (its all in the latest MOTOR if you want a good read ;) )

I think if you do your homework you'll find that he doesn't own that car but Mr Wilson (who's not short of a quid) does.

His reply stood out to me and it clearly upset Dohmar (I don't think he wanted an hour of his day) so all I'm saying is he probably didn't handle his reply too well........I know, take a teaspoon of cement, blah, blah.

Mate if you want to know busy, step in my shoes for a day!

Well I think it's fairly obvious what Keir & Martin are going to do with it... Drive it everywhere!!!

I drove the car today for a short lap out on Port Wakefield road & even though I didnt get past 4th

gear you can tell it is a very fast car. Going to be lots of fun in the hills, particularly a bit further out

where are more open stretches.

New gearbox is excellent, driving position great, love the interior & general quality of this car.

It comes on boost almost instantly & you have to be quick with the paddles before it runs out of revs.

Not like a modified RB26 that just keeps on pulling but you have to wait for it or be in the right gear.

I have only just had a little taste but will definately be back for more.

We have lost interest in Drag racing due to a number of factors (no track & too many breakages)

& have been taking our cars out to private track days at Mallala. Next month the new GTR is going

out for some testing against Keir's Gallardo which will be very interesting. The Lambo is faster & will

out brake the R35 but takes lots of skill to drive to the limits where the GTR might be easier to push

at 10/10ths & may surprise us all.

It will be my 3rd time out there in my R33 & cant wait to race against the R35.

I am sure it wont stay standard for long & is very exciting to see what will happen with this amazing car.

Back in 1991 Keir was one of the first customers in Adelaide to put his money where his mouth was &

actually buy a brand new Aussie delivered R32 GTR & that same car is now a 9 second street driven legend.

(The 8 second R32 was built up from a shell so he didnt have to cut up the Aussie one)

Now, 17 years later, he is the first to own the R35 GTR in Adelaide & he deserves to be. Good on him.

He didnt do it to be a big deal, he is a genuine enthusiast, & he has done it for all of us to enjoy with him & why not!

Hopefully by this time next year there will be dozens of them cruising around. GO R35.

While on the topic of Keirs Silver 32 does any one have a copy of the vid of it that used to be on the old JMS site?

The vid was taken from the right lane with Keir in the right lane. From memory it ran an 8.8/8.9. The noise of that thing was awesome.

Well I hardly see the difference between an invite to come down to a workshop to check the car out as being anything but a pr exercise, and its granted people are going to want to take pics if they are so invited.

Either one is going to take time, or put traffic in their workshop. And I did ask for a convenient time. But stuff it. Theres one more customer those guys will never get. I'm sure theyre positively shitting wads of hundred dollar bills, so I don't expect them to lose any sleep over it.

I've got one of him doing a solo run in the right lane from the old JMS site, runs a 9.51

Well said John.

Most of the current SAU crew weren't on the forums (many didn't even have a licence) when John, Kier and Martin - along with a few other - were regulars on this forum. If it weren't for these guys the skyline/import scene wouldn't be a fraction of what it is today. They have all earned a certain amount of respect, so let them say their piece and move on.

Good to hear your 33 is going again, hope to see it in action some time.

does it really take an hour to park a car in a line up of waiting skylines and take a couple of photo's???? :D maybe its already in that high a state of tune it no longer has park. :D

there car there choice but it wouldnt take that much effort

I'm sure gran turismo and the fast and furious played a fair descent part in expanding the import scene too :)

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      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.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      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?
