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???

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
