Just a note for any of you that are interested. Keir Wilson is running his R32GTR against the best street style V8s on offer at Heathcote Raceway this weekend. Its a first time in a long time that this car has been in Victoria to race, so some of you might want to have a look. He hopes for some strong 8 second passes.

For information on the program - www.ls1dragnationals.com.au

Got there pretty late, around 2pm. As i walk pass these huts where i change spark plugs after a run and stuffs, i walked pass the GTR, i proudly told my mate that this GTR is gonna make those LS1 boys have a second though about their car.

Got to the stand, sat there watching these LS1 roaring pass ( most took their zorst off ), kept waiting to see the GTR but NO, so i decided to walk to there make myself look stupid and ask them if the GTR is gonna run today and i think it was Keir himself told us that the box has gone so i push the GTR into the container already.

Oh well maybe next time, i'm keen skyline man LOL.

they still use the hollinger , they also fixed that issue last i herd, quote from Hpi issue 40

"it was a simple non load bearing part of the selector mechanism that would fracture and select 2 gears at once , obviously when this ocurred the resulting failure was catastrophic, now we have engineered our own fix with a billet selector arangement,

they then went on 2 say that if anyone else with gtrs has this problem they are more than willing 2 help out and supply parts.

also a os giken gearset would have no chance with keir wilson power levels,

, the os giken still has shifting issues aswell, such as the stock gearbox, the os giken gear set still has a mismatched 3rd gear....

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
