A big thank you to Powertune Australia. On my second pass @ WSID this morning i've broken into the 9's. There's still room for improvement with the 60ft.

Video of the run and updates to come later this week on PowertuneR34Gtr Facebook page

Hi Guys,

I had the pleasure of going for quite a few laps in this weapon at Powercruise 2102 :-)

A few more minor points to mention -

- on the day the track was wet, and Anthony had absolutely no fear of ripping it up as you can see on the video.

- the car is without question ... fkn mental .... it is a violent experience to sit in the passanger seat when he smashes it through the gears

- the driver is also a little mental, as you need to be to drive this car. The confidence Anthony has in his car is amazing

- he also has a constant smile on his face :-)

- I've been in a lot of high end $$$$ worked V8 cars, both road and race. This cars is seriously fast ... and scary to be in too !!!

- the Powertune guys deserve massive credit for their work on this car. I've seen Chea and his crew in action. Nothing but perfection is acceptable to them.

I love that Anthony drives the car everywhere, I have never seen it on a trailer, ever !!

For those that have seen it in person, you all understand it is truely a work of art.

For those that haven't, make the effort if you get a chance, it is unique.

And well done on hosing off absolutely everthing they threw at you in the 2013 off street drags

I'm still pissed I missed out on going for a fang this year :-)

Ken

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
