Apparently I subscribed to this thread, so I get emails when people post in it :whistling:

The car is in my garage, covered nicely and on trickle charge. Hasn't been started for about about 2 years and I'm sure the tyres are out of round now :(

I've been busy with work and haven't had time to work on the car. I actually contacted Steve Thatcher back in September to enlist his help to finish the car so I can drive it since I don't have any time to work on it myself after starting my own company nearly 2 years ago.

He said he'd call after he got back from Targa, but I didn't hear from him and I let it fall off my to-do list again.

Unless someone wants to do a part trade for a Lotus Exige S or Porsche 911 GT3, I'm not selling the car... I still love GTRs and want to finish this, but sometimes life has other priorities :(

As a bonus fact, I also learned that I have a smiley named after me? :merli:

Brad - Are you the Brad from Autosports who had an S15 that knows Alan Smith?

Good to hear its still around and not being parted etc.

Yes same brad but I'm no longer at autosport. Left a couple of years ago and also ended up doing my own thing, race fabrication and preparation specifically.

Haven't spoken to Allan in ages, is he still around the scene or got himself out of racing?

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
