Project Gtst Finds A Sister

[trackdayaddict]

Hi guys,

hope you are all well.

We are still cracking on with the skyline & hope to see lower times soon this season & we will upgrade the cage to unlimted for next year & switch her to methanol, we have also been busy looking to the longer term future & well here she is Project Zed - hope you like

Hoping to start running & learning very slowly from august this year - will take us a fair while to find our feet for sure & no expectations for quite a while to be honest.

cheers

John

Awesome!! Looks incredible mate!

Any more info you can give us? Engine/drivetrain combo?

I may be confused, but that looks a bit longer than our z?

when will it run and how quick will it go?

[trackdayaddict]

it's original sister car ran 6.6's in 2005 @ 215+ mph

this car is brand new & has been sat for 3 years doing nothing out in the states before we picked it up, it's slightly newer with a better chassis than the original & we are not handicapped by the same NHRA rules surrounding turbo sizes etc.

It will take us a long time to get our head around it but we want to run this in the FIA pro Mod class here in Europe in 2011 - to be competitive we need to be seeing 6.3's or less - god knows if we can get there or not , it won 't be for lack of trying - be great to see a jap car v the monster v8's :-)

It's running a 4ltr VQ block on methanol, 5 speed lenco box

Fingers crossed

Holy shitballz John, That looks more like a rich aunt than a "sister"

[Newy]

bloody oath looks amazing!!

RJ chassis eh...nice work. Ive just put a Vi-PEC V88 and a twin M&W Drag 6 CDI system into an RJ car here in Aust. Toyota though so its a bit slow...lol.

Ive been involved in discussions with a big race team here in Australia about running a R35 GTR RJ chassis 'PRO FX' car here...3.8 litre V6 twin T51 powered monster running a lenco. Custom engine block running Nissan heads etc. They were meeting with Nissan Australia in Melbourne this week to nut out a sponsorship deal. These guys are behind a well known team and if anyone has the budget and experience to pull this off and get it happening its them.

Stay tuned

When is the Z debuting John?

EDIT: August hey...keep us updated.

Pro bodied 35GTR would look amazing

We were going down the same route at one stage but the cost of getting a body developed & moulded & we were worried about the likely size & look of that body put us off a bit - be great to see what yours will look like.

Twin T51 will be nuts, the SPL is a great great turbo that we loved to bits when running on ours, god knows what 2 of those babies would feel like

Some great great cars out there now & in the making - be just bloody awesome if we ever see a 5 sec jap car in the world over the next 5 - 10 years

She's a bit of a monster

I think when the bonnet's on the car, the car will look amazing

people will either love it or hate it BUT at least they should remember it which is the main thing :dance:
