The funny thing is whenever u stepped on it, u had to turn it 1/4 turn to the right - i know that the back wheel was out of alignment but this was the same as Domonic Russo's yellow r32 gtr which was making 650awkw where he had to counter steer to keep it straight.

GTR's get massive torque steer in the front with decent power. Check out this video (the wheel alignment is spot on), in the first 3 gears it moves over a car length left and then in 4th I actually drive back onto the "racing line"

Rightio. The suspension stuff got started today. The sperm whale got weighed and some of the geometry measurements taken today. The porkie pig comes in at 1580 Kg with 1/4 tank of fuel. A little lighter than I thought. The only thing I have taken out is the spare wheel, jack and some of the boot lining. Apart from that it's all standard.

11ty strings everywhere. Tomorrow the shocks will come out so they can measure travel of this that and the other then go away and put together a combo. It'll be basiccally setup for "tarmac rally" which is pretty much what i'm doing with it. Hillclimbs and goat tracks like Wakefield park. Turn around time is between 2 and 4 weeks depending on what Bilstien has in the country.

Well isnt the r34 the heaviest of the gtrs?

Wat lap times u aiming for at wakefield?

Yeah they are, but an extra 20 Kg IIRC.

Times, who knows. I did a 1:10.02 revving to 5000 RPM last year. I solid 1:06 would be nice. It's the muppet behind the wheel that needs to practice :P

the 33 is the heaviest, my 34 came in at 1480 with 1/3 tank, but the tar was removed before I brought it

I remember your blue 34 in the garage.. Very nice.

I could have sworn the 32 was the only Gtr under 1500kgs

that is also what I thought/read

    • 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.
    • 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.
