As if go karters don't have bulletproof kidneys anyway.

John Munro so I can beg for a ride is his 33.. Either the drag car or the ballistic streeter....

Leewah for the same reason...

Evl R33 cause I hear he's a top bloke... :bs!: :headbang: :shake: :upurs: :jump:

[Munro]

For the past year I have been hanging out for a ride in my own GTRs!!!

It has been 15 months since I dragged the race GTR!!! A simple upgrade to push it into the low nines somehow turned into a year long saga. BUT, it is getting close now. Only a few small issues to sort out & it will be fired in anger.

Of course, it only has one seat, & I doubt anyone really wants to strap themselves

on the floor & experience the monster this GTR has turned into. I cant wait.

One of the reasons it has taken so long is I have been sidetracked with my tow ute! It's an XR6 Turbo, makes 320 rwkw, & runs 12s. Heaps of fun.

The other is the street GTR. Since owning it (the one in the first issue of SPEED)

I have banged the engine 3 (three) times. What to do? Better fix it eh?

Now it has a new N1 block (better not crack this one), all the other fruit previously mentioned in an older thread, smaller 272 HKS cams (to make it more streetable),

an OS Giken Sequential 6 speed (keeping the Holinger in the race GTR), & is currently going back together at Tilbrooks this week. Rhemac Motors built the engine last week with brand new aries pistons, gapless rings etc, & it should be a very tough (hopefully bulletproof) engine. I am going to run it in properly this time

(no piston melting 290kmhr blasts) & then want it detuned from the previous 480rwkw tune to around 400rwkw. When I am happy that it is all good, we might put some good juice in it & crank up the boost to around 500rwkw & see what it does in full weight trim at the drags, but by then the race GTR should be ready, & I

will probably leave it as a good street setup & keep it one piece, leaving the drag duties to the lighter, much more powerful race GTR.

I have some good mates in Perth, & you guys have an excellent track.

If I ever bring both cars over for a meeting, & I hope I can one day, then come up & say G,day. I owe Ant & Nathan a cruise, as they both took me for a good strap in their GTRs when I was over there with my ute for Drag Combat.

Cheers,

John

[EVL R33]

We are all patiently waiting for when you bring the R over here John. Will be something not to miss thats for sure..

Reading the article in Speed on your street R (when Doug had it) made me decide to sell my gtst and get a GTR. One of the best articles I've ever read to get the blood pumping thats for sure!!! ha ha Also followed the build up in HPI every issue, that is one of the neatest and thorough cars I've ever seen.

Good luck with the drag R, hope it is not too much longer and the results are worth the wait..

Cheers
