Faaark, who'd you rob bro? That's some serious coin been put in to make that kind of power within 12 months! Most of us spend that much over 5 years if we're lucky (unlucky?)

Great to see however! Love it.

Had it 3 months and finished :woot: and to get all of the gear ready would take some time, good planing and picked the right company to do it .

He might be one of those hideous blokes that saves money for a rainy day :yucky: haha

Or robbed a bank!

Planned and executed well. A good shop and obviously a good relationship.

Must eat at you peter when you thought you had also taken the right steps.

Good fortune and a good result.

There would not be many if any others with this experience.

:thumbsup:

haha, thought I had it covered, but it did piss me off big time at the time, but I do not live in the past , there is always more new shit waiting to happen :)

But ,the way this was done should be how they are all done,choose your builder (first check out their build times) know what you want, get the bolt ons etc and then check if the builder is ready to start on your build. Oh, I did it all that, well except the builder bit,lol

I do not know if this bloke just happened to be at the right place at the right time ??

Workload would play a part.

But still yours was fairly quick too.

Living in the past is a mugs game, your right.

Anyway this build looks great.

Well , his was a month, mine was over 5 months and I had everything there ??

Looking at his Dyno, would you say it is a laggy street car or am I missing something? I know it has .2Lt more but up to 5000rpm it is not doing much? I struggle with most Dyno graphs, some blokes just take a glance and can tell how it will drive.

All I know is when mine did not kick in until over 5000rpm it was a nightmare on the street.

I love white Rs :)

I understand that, marvel at what he did in 3 months and the results are sensational :)

But it is also a street car, what about the first 5000rpms, as I said when I bought mine it did nothing until 5000rpm + and at 140kph@150kw that is similar to his graph, even with the .2Lt more ?

He has done 5000klms on the street and loves it :wub: , i drove home 350 Klms and wanted to put a match to it on the first day :yucky: !

So I must be missing something the way I have read his graph and would like someone that knows to explain it for me :cool:

You need to take a chill pill. It's not your car so you don't have to be happy with it.

Not everyone is hell bent on response this and response that

I already said it was fantastic and I do not give a shit how someones else's car drives, to each his own :) I love what he has done, jealous that he could get it done in a month and think his car looks great, love white Rs ??????

That is not what I was saying, he said it was good to drive as a DD and my car at a similar speed and KWs was really shitty as a DD from idle, my Quad clutch did not help.

"I struggle with Dyno charts, I wondered if I missed something, or the extra .2 Lt made the difference."

I was hoping "he" would answer and let me know how it all works in together, not your " RESPONSE " with your medical advice, it is a bit warm so I might take a chilled beer instead :)

it can just come down to how its tuned.

i had a t88 fully built 26 done by Croydon and it drove like shit. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone again after a simple build took forever. They are never in a hurry to do anything.

Took my car to JEM after an outrageous quote by Croydon for simple upgrades. Got them to go over the entire tune and it drove 1000 times better after Adam had tuned it

Thanks Chris

I know shit all about this stuff until I get some answers to questions I ask and then, I still know very little, except advise to take a chill pill and that really helps, school hols are a pain :).

I could never understand anyone wanting to drive a car as a "DD" the way "MY CAR" drove , I was crap , it had a T78 tuned by CRD for top end!

Before you blokes throw rocks or chill pills, I am just asking, how can this car be a good DD .Have a look at what I asked before saying I should PO?

I thought SAU was for asking questions and I cannot wait until the owner gets back on the thread, probable had an Easter break or a phantom :)

The reality is it isn't a good daily driver for everyone. You wouldnt like it Pete, I probably wouldn't like it.

There's a fair wait for the power, but when it comes it would certainly be fun.

Can't wait to see some quarter mile times. That's when the car will shine.

    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
