Not that it makes much difference anyway, but have you removed any weight out of the car Chris? And what exhaust set-up did/do you use on the strip? I'm just thinking out aloud, as I guess there's a few little things that when added together can make a noticeable improvement without needing any extra horsepower.

At the end of the day (and regardless of the above) the time/mph you ran is a bloody legendary effort mate! :cheers:

I riced it up with a pure carbon bonnet + bootlid, but left everything else in there. Exhaust is same as what I run on the street, no cat, and only a Nismo cannon muffler at the rear. Tis a bit loud, but I need all the help I can get.

Oh yeah and I'm weighing in at about 80kgs (gotta lay off the donuts).

I'm a tad over 80kg myself... a little more suited to a 1/4 driver than some perhaps? :)

Chris,

The carbon boot and bonnet would help a little bit. But not that much. As would the nice loud Nismo zorst. I've just switched over to the same exhaust set-up as you mate. I gained quite a bit of extra mumbo from the swap. I gained quite a bit of noise too!

Ok I changed over the rear coilovers to HKS Drag shocks, while I was under there I took a couple of pics of the suspension setup. I forgot it has a full Nismo link kit (both F+ R), but I doubt that is as effective as adjustable heim jointed upper arms.

    • 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 re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly 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.
