nice engine build. I would definitely be looking at upgrading the suspension. it has lots of movement under power (to be expected with that much) but it also moves around a lot more than it should under brakes. if it's still got the stock gear in it there is a good chance it's stuffed by now. no need to go nuts but some upgraded shocks and springs will do wonders for it.

just upgraded the brakes to some endless pads.

thanx guys

=)

great car make thing sounds unreal was great to watch in real life.. how were you taking off at the start? are you dumping it or just letting the power do its work

taking off on the 2step with 25psi at 6000rpm and playing with it off first gear.

=)

Great build ! and nice to see it being used like it is ment ;)

WOW

big dollar spend GTR, that actually geting USED.... now this is rare and nothing is blowing up either :)

i looked at the videos, "you photos needs a bit of work mate"

and thought to my self god he must be running a Dog box or something and read

Transmission :

Standard Getrag 6 Speed

Ogura Quad plate clutch

how on earth does the standard Getrag keep up with this much POWER , "i must abuse mine a bit more now"

if you can build this car then you can get a guy to take some nice photos of that engine bay

Why wouldnt the standard Getrag keep up with 800 whp ? isnt it the same V160/V161 as in the Supra ? and there are bunch of Supras with stock getrag gearboxes running 8 second 1/4 miles and with 1000-1500whp even the SW/ Boost logic supra has a stock V160 Getrag gearbox running 7.91 @ 189 mph in the 1/4 mile and cutting 1.26 60ft

sry for the offtopic op

Shock loading from launching an AWD car, twists the gearbox casing causing the case to crack. A supra will get some wheel spin, and at least some wheel spin reduces torque twisting stresses. Flexing and cracking of the gearbox casing, and also flexing of internal thrust surfaces causes internal parts to go out of alignment when under load. Once that happens its all downhill from there.

Look up the RIPS BORG R33 GTR build on gtr.co.uk. They post up pictures of the carnage after a good launch destroys an r34 getrag that had a PPG gearset.

My mind still boggles at the thought that these supra drag cars are using "stock" gearboxes too. I think some people's interpertation of stock and others differ somewhat, and the only stock parts might well be the casing and a few bearings. Nobody that races cars that run 7's tells the world precicely how they did it.. so sure, its all stock!

you talk of Supra getting some wheelspin ? but as i said they are cutting 1.25-1.40 60ft that means they are hooking pretty good ! and yes they all say that hey are using a completely stock from factory gearbox, only time ive seen a Supra split a gearbox casing was Saad´s Supra when he was running low 8´s

Btw here is the top list for 6 speed supra, all of them with a completely stock from factory getrag v160 gearbox / internals untouched

1. [email protected] SW/Boost Logic. 6 speed, 3.4L, BL GT55-91, NOS, AEM (highest mph 189.7)

2. 8.29@174 Saad N Saad Valero In The Zone, 6 speed, ProEFI, 55-91, 150shot

3. [email protected] Ryan Woon. WOTM 6 speed, 3.4L stroker, GT55-91, single fogger, 3330lbs

4. 8.38@174 Darin Dichiara 6-speed, 3300 lbs, GT47-88R, 3.0L + nitrous motec m600 28x10.5 ET drags

5. 8.41@ 179 Rich Homer 3.4, 47-88, direct port, motec, tilton http://www.youtube.c...h?v=yirVDXbUR5s

6. [email protected] SW/Chris Johnson/Boostlogic. 6 speed, 3.4L stroker, BL GT55-91 , 3650lbs

sry again for the off topic op

All very impressive mate but that doesnt alter the fact that the gtr has an issue with the gertrag box.

For the few years i've been involved in the skyline scene its been common knowledge that there are issues when they are leaned on hard.

There is one down at Dan's workship as we speak with this very problem.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
