Maybe, BUT it has only been 19 weeks, give them a chance, they have long lunches :cheers:

Oh, late start and a siesta after lunch, givem a break they can only work 1 hour a day :thumbsup:

Now they are just teasing you, haha. Just be happy when you get it back it all works and you have no issues with it I rekon. Also I think your number plate would look better back in the stock location.

How much longer did they say till its tuned and ready for pickup? Should be a real beast with the 3.2 :)

Hope you are wrong Mick,lol

I have seen number plates blocking half of the grill, not only that, a lot of blokes have their cars looking great and it looks like they nailed the plates on the front, but this is a personal choice, I like it there out of the way, that's why I got the thinner style. I am pretty sure that plate does not fit into the stock location.

Looking at about a week, so maybe the end of next week, but who knows. Then have to get the kids looked after and go to Sydney to get it.

As for the power, not pushing for high power, just response for a DD, I doubt if it will be much over 400awkw, it was 345awkw before the build

I am looking forward to see how the drive train works in together. it will be, Coppermix twin C Spec clutch, slave cylinder, Quaif front diff, trannie modified and going into the Nismo 2-way LSD. :woot: It has to drive better with the twin instead of the quad clutch as a DD :yes:

It will not take too long for the final tune as the drive home is about 350Klms and I will do it ASAP and get it over with and hopefully never have to do anything else to the car :)

Would want to farken hope they know!!!

Me too, when you have this type of work done you would think the builder would know what compression ratio he is going with, I hope :/

Bets on how long the getrag lasts? :P

I dont think you quite know what you have built here Pete at 345kw that 6262 was barely passing wind. I think you can expect another 100kw out of this thing (with E85). It will probably make 345kw at around 4500 lol!

On that note is it being flex tuned?

yeah Mick, I already have the Haltech ECU and flex fuel sensor going in .

Getrag, are you the voice of DOOM , put me down for a $100 on 3 weeks, if I just hit 3rd slowly with soft hands, maybe 3 months , LOL

345kw @ 4500, laggy heap of shit!

I am sure I will scare myself,I think I have done that with every car I have owned, some lucky to get to 80mph but they could scare the crap out of you just trying to stop them :w00t:

Nice pics Pete, but how's YOUR engine going? :unsure:

CR will be like my cam specs, closely guarded secret :rolleyes:

So they never told you your CR when they built your motor, that is weird I think, if you pay for something you should get all of the info on your build, well should ?

So I will have cams that are a secret and a CR that is a secret, getting scared :bomb_ie:

    • Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask
    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
