What the hell is in the r32 at the 4min 18sec mark?

Another RIPS RB30'd car?

Lol, yeah thats Joes GTR, runs mid to low 10s and on that run I gave him a good head start so I could wind the old turbo up for a nice wheelie, lol.

Joes been around in that car for a long time and its bloody quick for a full weight streeter, he's a top bloke too.

I remember after one race we had about a year ago, he came up to me and said in a joking way said he was pissed off and going home casue he'd never been passed by someone who was on the back wheels before, lol, it was real funny at the time.

So close to the RB26 record :)

Whats Marks best time and mph now? any idea of the weight and whp of his car?

I'd love to get on a decent Aussie track, Reece is very sure we'd drop 2-3 10ths and gain 5-10mph on your FAR superior strips.

Not 100% sure, dirtgarage will know for sure, but isnt 7.57 still the record?

Ah, I thought you ment Mark, Yeah Reece has run 7.57 in Aussie but I'm not sure if he was still 26 or not.

We have run very close to Reeces quickest NZ time so thats good enough for me in what is basicly a back 1/2 street car.

      Original window sticker?

      By Celticsfan03 · Posted

      Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
