ok guys i may have a pit lane garage for sale after not having a enough time to build my engine cause i was going on holidays i paid one of the local engine buildier to do it for me. So we got the engine put it in the car wired it up made all new pipes put it on the dyno and every thing was looking great.The car made 600hp on just 20psi not bad i though.So lets go do some kms before we give it a full tune up but very sad to say the engine didnt even last 200km before spining a bearing. So the holidays got cancelled and we stripped the engine down and could not belevie what we found standard size rings on 20 thou over size piston 1.5 thou piston to bore clearance the crank was now bent 25thou. so i went back to the builder to tell him and all he has to says is get an engineneer to show me where i went wrong and then i will pay for it but by the time i do that i could have the engine back together and maybe get to power cruise. So if some body wants it pm me and i will let you know on thursday if i will make it

the car is alive again :)

Top Stuff!

Ill be gating it with another white R33 then :down:

Anyone going to scrutineering tomorrow?

Im going to get out of the way so im not in line on friday missing out on track time.

Friggn awesome weekend for me!!

Car never missed a beat, apart from a few cooler pipe blow outs.

There is nothing better than smoking the treads in 3rd gear, powerskidding and drifting all over the circuit!!!

Big thanks to Jarrod at A&B Motorsport for lending me some tools and letting me stash my fuel and tyres on Friday, much appreciated!

Sitting in garage 24 and eating my first real food that isn't sausage/bacon in days. Relaxing with guilttoy, benm and the boys, waiting for the racing to start. Massive thank you to dave and his tool wench for their assistance in removing the gear box, helping to rebuild it and putting it back in. Totally unexpected and appreciated.

    • Nah, turn the boost up, break the gearbox, and enjoy leaving it parked for a few years while you save for a better box...
    • I see those two Stageas have the "punched 40mm hole" deregistered Japanese number plates 👍 Nice kouki group shot with the different colours too. 
    • Ended up just being a loose exhaust bolt luckily.
    • Yeah I made that post way too early, sorry I must have assumed it was bad because it's a 20+ year old thrashed shitbox lol. It was just a loose exhaust bolt. 
    • Like others have said, drop the power to give your drivetrain a % of reliability until you can up the drivetrain reliability  It isn't rocket science, build power to the weakest link with a % of safety Whilst upping the the reliability of the drive train is costly, there's no point in having the engine make big power if it keeps eating the drivetrain....ask me how I know, I had the tow truck on speed dial for a few years, and I spent huge amounts of money fixing issues and breakages that really would have been cheaper in the long run if I did it right the first time Me, I like a nice sized fudge factor, that keeps me off the tow truck
