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!

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
