"Street" GTR nearly ready - at last

[Guest RedLineGTR]

Good luck with all the cars & work. Rob

[Clint32]

Martin any probs yet with the xr6t manual box, im getting mine in a week or so and have ordered a manual for the work hack.

I was interested in the Capa set up, but after going to Melbourne to see simon at Nizpro I decided to purchase one of his stage II bolt-on upgrade kits.As this is my tow ute I am not keen on going further than that, & just wanted a simple, ready made kit.The R&D on these kits is impressive & the product look great - hope it goes well too.

The street GTR is the one I am excited about - should have it by the end of the week.

[Clint32]

whats invoved with the stage 2 nizpro setup Munro, and the $$ involved, i dont think we will be modding either of our utes for a whhile thats what the skylines are for but in a while it would be good.

Also good to see both your cars are getting there Munro, cant wait for the 4,6 rotor nats

[Nightcrawler]

Glad to hear everything is progressing nicely now John! Can't wait for a ride in Drift-6 .... it's really going to be something else

/me giggles like a little girl in excited anticipation

[Munro]

I'll keep the ford stuff in the XR6Turbo forum where it should be - there will be plenty of time to check the ute out next year when it's done Clint.

In the meantime - are ther any plans to go for a cruise before the middle of Jan?

Be good to catch up with those of you I have not seen for a while.

John,

i didnt get to see under the bonnet of your "street " gtr but knowing some of the good gear thats been "borrowed " for the streeter it will be an awsome package!(it was on the hoist) However i have been up close and personel with some of the work that has been carried out on the race car motor and this does look very impressive---love the engineering that has been put into the car and more recently the motor,and im sure the car hasnt run anywhere near its potential yet.I think i can say on behalf of the sa contingent good luck,we wait and watch with much anticipation---bring it on!!!!

Regards,

SKYLINE...(Kym)

I think a cruise should be organised for this Saturday night .... who's up for it? (and more importantly who wants to organise it - I don't)

[VIPERGTSR01]

i will be up for it, but not organise

[EnricoPalazzo]

dammit got work xmas dinner

[CheekyR32]

Dammit.. i have a hens night Saturday! I vote next weekend...

John, I fairly call shotgun!!!!xx

I know there is a pretty big cruise saturday night at K-mart anzac highway, not sure of time, but will probably be in the trader this week.

[Miss*33]

A cruise next Saturday night would be good!

Martin any probs yet with the xr6t manual box, im getting mine in a week or so and have ordered a manual for the work hack.

XR6 Turbos have several chronic problems

Noisy gearboxes

VCT solenoids

Software bugs

Faulty O-Rings in the water pump

Faulty PCV Valves

Aerial Module problems

and general other fit and finish stuff

Looks like we have a little challenge coming up John! I was talking to Mick late yesterday and he tells me you are going out to the track in the XR6 once he has finished setting it up (early next week?). Cool! How about some farmyard action, with XR6T versus VYII Tonner? That would make for some great drag racing. Keep in mind the Ute muster drags - 23-25th Jan AIR

Here's a pic of John's drift6 motor (hope you don't mind John).

Check the clear timing belt cover - nice!!

[whatsisname]

Very nice!

More mods coming on the "Plan C" tonner before then Tuna?

[PranK]

i wanna come for a cruise too...

[Munro]

A farmyard battle sounds like fun Martin.Ute drags in Jan could be a goer.

Mark,Mick & Tyson have done a great job on the R33.It only needed some light tuning & a few accessories fitted but was not completely finished, so rather than rush them, we will leave the last finishing touches till the new year.

I'm dissapointed not to be able to run the engine in over the holidays - but thats modified cars for you. It did sound very tough on the dyno, & the pfitzner gearbox feels great.

Of course Cheeky, you will be taking shotgun honours when the car is driven.

After all the cruising I have been doing with you, It will be nice for you to be the passenger for a change.

On another note - whats the deal with cabin changing Drag combat to the same weekend as our 4,6&rotor nationals here in Adelaide???

Obviously, the NSW cars will not come across when there is an event for them in Sydney, & why would Keir & I spend thousands to travel there when we can run our GTRs here? Doesn't make any sense to me!

[Munro]

Btw - Happy Birthday Martin

Hope You Have A Good One.
