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.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
