Yup that's it, attention to detail of every inch of that car is an understatement. Not to mention the 1.37 was done on a damp track with a busted front right CV.

Yes Sam builds and works on race cars for a living, and his car is always impressive and immaculate. We talk a lot on the phone, and it was great to catch up. He got my attention last year at Phillip Island. We shared a garage at this event and lots of people were coming to our garage to check out the two Nissans. I have been to his workshop, which is big immaculate shed 25 mins out of Albury on his property.

That Torry must have been the white Sports Sedan with massive gaurds and rubber.

The event was not promoted well and very late as it was approved late I heard.

Yea your right JP the xu1 was the sports sedan.

66 entrys is crap,,we get more to a state round,,,apparently it's on again next year in Vic land then the year after in QLD.

I have to echo everybodies comments on the GTR,,,bloody great looking,,,clean car. Those front brakes are bullshit. The only other GTR I have ever seen to that standard is Terry's ex-Gibson car.

I personally had a great weekend,,,9th on saturday and 5th on sunday with an overall of 7th and a 3rd in class all done in absolute disgusting weather and on shagged old tyres. Seems my suspension tweeks over night worked. A little icing on the cake was beating John on sunday and beating dennis (ex-owner)overall. Now if I had only done on saturday what i changed for sunday,,,.

Oh did I mention my body is bruised and battered from 2 days in a fibreglass seat.

John Harper is the owner of the torana sports sedan, Its got a big dollar FJ20 in a 3/4 space frame chassis, the engine is your passenger.

Its always out at the club sprints and usually one of the faster cars on the day.

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I said Garrett style. Not Garrett genuine. And something in the G30 550 range is what you want. Not those pokey little old fashioned T28 sized things. The intake ports in the head are small. There is little benefit in fattening up the runners and leaving ths actual ports small. Just run what you've got. And on the subject of Nistune vs Haltech etc..... You know you can control the transmission with decent standalone ECUs these days, right? No need to keep any of that old Nissan bullshit. Don't get me wrong - I use Nistune on my Neo. But it is a DET, so the number of bodges and workarounds I had to do to make it work in a chassis without ABS, TCS, etc, is quite small compared to the herniated arsehole you will have trying to make it work on a motor that doesn't have some of the things that the turbo ECU wants to see. Just easier to bite the bullet and go aftermarket outright.

      Hmm. Only when the f**king thing is actually working. Still can't find the leak. And that's with dye being put in the last 3 times!

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By R34_GT to Turbo · Posted

      Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?

      You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.
