The problem with ants car is gearbox.

To that last statement i say it comes down to drive skill, not cheaque book racing. ie i wonder how 1 car got tuned b4 another :Oops:

hopefully no more ****ups danny. i Bet u are giving it to shane even more now that things are almost done, and the rx4 is further away

I think Anth and myself are both aiming a little higher than 600rwhp,we both have standard cranks with lots of work been done to them and yes this is the weak point in both motors as all other parts have beem replaced.we do not see this as a major problem as there are many cars over east with high hp built on standard cranks,without failure,we may be wrong but only time will tell.As for check book racing all forms of racing cost lots of money,time ,effort and sacrifice by all involved,now lets thrash them and have some fun.

Danny keep your R locked up otherwise some italian men might accidently borrow it overnight before returning it with a much less rattly gearbox :D

Well the decision has been made something is not right in the motor and we are going to pull it down and check whats happening.Since picking the motor up from the last so called performance workshop the motor only had 90psi combustion presure and the assumption was made that this would increase once the motor was started but this was not to be the case.Will keep you all posted but it look's like were starting from scratch again,here's hoping it will only take a few weeks to rebuild and will be back on the track soon.

Jesus Christ Danny. I feel so bad for you having been told alot about what the GTR has gone through to get to this stage and to now hear about this is just pain.

I hope you take to some people because heads need to roll. Seeing as how your nearly as big as me im sure this will be an easy job.

In all seriousness i think legal action would be a good way to go here. Youve been screwed around too much for this to be just a trivial matter anymore.

I really hope to see you back in action soon and the best of luck with everything with this rebuild.

Cheers and good luck with the head kickng

Tom

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
