Great to see it out and about.

BTW - Where did you get the seats from?

Cheers.

Hi Dallas,

i bought the seats from my supplier MVP motorsport in the US. tried dealing with sparco Australia but had no luck so i sent my money to the US haha

Concidering the price difference, would I buy a new GTR R35 or build something to your standard ? I'll build a car like yours any day. Congratulations. Very rarely do I make comment on other peoples cars as it is so subjective to taste. You sir have done well. I am not going to tell you what to change or even suggest, but my own taste would lean towards a tougher set of very light weight deep dish wheels. But that's just me. I don't like chrome. Normally I would not go for grey or charcoal but the Supra shape needs that sophistication as it looks more Porsche like.

thanks for the kind words mate. the wheels are light weight polished billet wheels not chrome. i didnt want to much dish as it takes away from that "stock" appeal. they do have nearly 5" dish on the rear too haha

Its been awhile. ive recently changed back to the clutch fan as thermos just werent up to the task in traffic driving. i also installed a race port BOV to help prevent a bent turbine shaft later on. Now its driving time to tweak any minor issues. here are a couple pics i took this weekend

It's 2:40 am and i couldn't keep my eyes off this thread! Your car is amazing i love it. You may have changed my mind from getting another skyline to a supra lucky i have a close friend with one he will sell for 5 G with 35r and fried rings might look into it as its been sitting for a couple of years in his shed.

[natett]

well its been awhile since I've udated this as nothing has really happened. the car goes out each weekend with lots of thumbs up along the streets from people including a guy in a Ferrari WOOT haha. Im glad i have the plastic mvp lip as bumps and a low front is painful with gutters the underside has been given a rough time thats for sure.

I drove to Sydney last month for some 400m action. I babied the crap out of the car with terrible 60fts (2.4 was my best) and slow ETs due to the auto TT diff and needing 5th to cross the line. best time for the night was 13.2 which is crap but was a lot of fun. Im going back up in May with the same setup and bigger balls of the line to see what i can do with 19" street tyres before i put MT street and 16" wheels on the back.

here are a couple pics from the drags

Last night Dustin and I pulled the car apart and this was the result...

The parts will be going to High Octane Coatings to be covered in high temp black ceramic. the dump and wastegate tube will be further wrapped in titanium heat wrap material. Manifold will be treated to a heat shield as well.

Ive got a couple more parts to polish ready for a show in 2 weeks here in canberra.

Im putting my CAMS licence appilcation in early next week so i can also enter the car in a few events such as motorkahna and hill climbs etc My first Kahna will be in April which should be fun!

Well Jamie and I finally had time to sort out my magazine photoshoot. Im sure in time (after its published) that Jamie will be able to show off the good photos but for now mine will have to do haha

[PM-R33]

Bloody beautiful

[myRB25DETT]

Nice.. Just jizzed on my iphone..

[N1GTR]

Come up to Huntley Hillclimb with Kat one time and some Sydney GTR's will come down

[zebra]

Soooo....

Updates?

[natett]

Nothing much to report. went to the Temora 1000 and made the top 20 which was pretty good. beat the gallardo so i achieved my goal haha the R35 were just incrediable considering they all had very few modifications!

so last minute change of plans has made decide against installing the diff before temora 1000 this weekend.

those parts with a few others will go on in search for ending this year with an 11 at the drags! but i think it'll still be wishful thinking!

Im hoping my new tyres will help me get some traction too

couple more pics to get the feeling of their girth

had the new tyres fitted for temora last weekend. they worked a treat. had some small problems fitting them at first due to the original ride height and now much larger tyre profile.

considering how loose the surface was i was only loosing traction on the launch.

all in all it performed reasonably well for an out right street car that drove to and from the event. my rotors have a nice blue tinge to them now but ive already started lists for what needs to be done for next year! best time was 23.42 and top speed i believe was 238.9km/h but i havent seen the last runs results yet.

[natett]

some more from temora

Looks good...I love the 345 tyres

Did you have the intercooler pipe work done here in Canberra or in Sydney?

[natett]

most of the piping is from my greddy intercooler kit.

one pipe was changed here in canberra. i believe ESP used Rick from Powermaxx or possibly Custom fabrications in Queanbeyan (near All Points glass and the RTA)

i need to clean that pipe up and also replace the blue silicon join to black .

All this may change if i look at swapping the gt42r for a new precision billet 6766 turbo. for now i need to put my bigger diff in and get back to the drags to try squeeze and 11 out of the whale haha

[zebra]

yeah Im trying to attempt the same kinda thing atm, my HPI piping wont work with the highmount

[natett]

im pretty sure rick is working with ESP a fair bit atm. have a chat with them to see how he can help?

[zebra]

yeah will see how I go
