I'm not sure if any of you have been following this monster, but Dave a local Mandurah guy who has been building up this monster over the past 3 or 4 years.

We spent some time this afternoon messing around. This is just at low boost 15 psi at the track will see 45 psi & nitrous. So I'd thought I post it up here as its WA related.

It's a giant Godzilla painted over the vehicle. Transmission is a BMS built RE4R03A Jatco transmission bolted to Standard GTR transfer case, featuring Full manual reverse pattern valve body assembly with transbrake and attessa control, all shafts and planetary sets softened and rehardened and chryogenically treated, carbon band, raybestos plates and kerwen steels, Vasco shaft from box to transfercase. The gearbox is the first of its kind to be setup for drag racing.

Seen this beast in the flesh, both before and after the transformation.. all my boot trim came from it. (and spare tyre :D )

Stop teasing already and let me know when it is going for its first run, I bloody hope I am in perth to go and see it.

real GTR's are manual *cough*

jks

will be interesting to see if it does the numbers :blink:

Not like those silly R35's those kids are driving these days :banana:

That car looks pretty nutso, keep us informed of when its in Perth and doing something we all can see, I'm sure there will be lots of SAU support!

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
