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.

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

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 :)

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
