Mate your insistance on the car having a back seat is ridiculous as in Australia you can not run any quicker than a 10.99 without ANDRA requiring that you have an approved roll cage. And if you have a roll cage (any decent and safe cage) then it is not possible to keep the rear seat. And if you have a roll cage then it would add a lot more weight than the removal of the rear seat. Rear seat weighs approx 8kg while a roll cage adds around 60kg so by my maths that would be be an increase of 52kg. And as stated Pauls car is engineered as a two seat car and is legally registered and does get driven on the street so if you think that this car does not qualify for your list then i think that makes your list fairly irrelivent mate. I think you will find most people would agree as the insistance on having a rear seat just seems overly padantic. Is it that you would personally prefer to see another car at the top of the list ?.

As silly as the rule is im planning on re-fitting the rear seat soon. My friend who is a trimmer has carved the rear seat in 3 pieces and is fitting the insides of the cuts with velcro so its easy to fit as well as modifying the rear side trims to fit. Im doing this for more reasons than being top of this list...the main reason is ive had enough of people saying my car is only quick cause its stripped. Its quick cause its a bloody powerful well set-up car for its purpose...drag first, street second and a race weight of 1571kg including driver shows the car is still quite heavy. The reason the seat is out is to save a misunderstanding when or if i get pulled over by the police...the engineer sugested this was the way to go.

Ill go to the top of this list very soon...and by quite a margin. :)

I'd hurry up with that Paul...soon the rules will be changing. You will have to have a weeks worth of shopping for a family of at least 4, dinner for 4 people (Mac's allowed if 4 x med size Big Mac meal deals with apple pies), 2 kids school bags, local street directory, min 20 CD's and a sub woofer......ROFLMAO :)

you left out the pure bred Rotweiller that must be seated as a passenger.

the stupid thing is the car now has to wear a steel scatter shield around the bellhousing...add another 5-10 kg. Ballistic blankets for manual cars have now been deemed unsafe by ANDRA....Overseas cars don't need to run 1/2 the safety sh1t we do here.

I believe RIPS drag R did it with back seat etc etc, though agreed - its all a bit excessive at times where you need a cage and a chute and they are clearly not really streety street cars anymore.

I know you will and I love to see you at the place you deserve.

Remember to some of your crew make a video of the car as we talked before... I love to see that 8´s in a full trim GTR.

From my point of view and many other in the world GTR comunity there is no other change to the rules on the future.

A. complete interior

B. stock weight or more

C. DOT tires

i bet the officials weren't to happy with that run and no cage. 147mph and 9.9sec, that would be a stupid fast car if u got some slicks on it and got it hooked up from a launch. My buddys Camaro (100% dragster) runs 8.8 at 157mph. His car isn't even a real Camaro either, it's a tube chassi with a fiberglass drop on body.

That r32 could take you, 3 friends and a pure bred Rotweiller to Mcdicks and then get waved through police roadblock on the way back.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
