nicknick - thanks for the timeslip (what about your car?) Also was this done in the gtr you were selling for $15K on here in the last week or so? Without being too much of a synic that timeslip could have been for a rail that missed the start then got back on it 3/4 track!!

K - i jumped the gun the car pic hadn't been posted yet. So thats your car that is in HPI GTR Special #4. That article supports your story that it still has the original box. I think you will have to admit you will need some luck keepin it together if you plan to run 10's.

nicknick that is a sweet lookin car - However I am suprised that the box lasted longer than the twin plate HKS clutch. I'll let it go with respect to your 1/4 mile run but I will say that is the slowest time I have seen for that kph (I understand your clutch was f##ked, it just seems odd that you got drive in higher gears to obtain the terminal speed). Gettin back to your comparison of the rex boxes, aren't they the weekest part of subaru's driveline eg 2 -3 good launches and they are stuffed. Anyhow, lookin at your mods you should run low11's with ease. I wish you the best at the track in the future!

PS: What was the go with that 15K gtr you needed to sell to buy a house but now you have this beast?

dean from upimports did the work, some of it, i dont know who BMT is,i know you think its odd that it run a poor time running 186kph, imagine my face when i saw the time sheet. i sold the stock gtr quick so i can invest in a good property oportunity, doesnt mater i can always buy another one for run around.

at to BLITZ i live in sydney i bought it from melbourne, that was a fun drive, think i clocked it 3 times on the way back, twice on the straight and once uphill, first time ever i a car. thanks benjiman74 for the support, hopefull i get my time that i want so i can finally have the paper to prove it.

its a T78-33D the biggest of the T78's, when the box was rebuilt like i mentioned, my mate told me there is no reason the box shouldnt hold the power, its been holding it till now and it was perfect inside( he said like new) i mean that should say something about the box after 9 years of driving. and for the low 11's comment, i think it should be possible for a mid to low 11 hopefully. we wont know till we try,...

According to the time slip, you got a 60ft of 2.393..... Either your getting heaps of wheel spin or she's bogging down....

Either way, a good launch should see you well into the elevens......

What rwkws she pumping out???

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
