It's been a while since I posted

Life has been pretty busy working

 

Managed to fly across to Sydney to help the Motive DVD boys out with GT-R Challenge and Drag Battle.

Caught up with Kyle from 1320 Videos he was nice enough to drop me down to pickup my

GT-R for the 1st drive.

Motorsports Mechanical had the car together however not 100% complete was perfect enough for the shake down at Cootamundra.

 

Drove over to CRD where a few other cars were getting loaded on to the V8 supercar carrier

Brett Hobson from Hobson motorsports offered a spot to my car so on she went.

 

Headed out to Cootamundra the next morning and had an absolute blast for the weekend

Make sure you grab the DVD when it comes out.

 

After Coota we headed to Eastern Creek Dragway to see what the car could do on 500kw.

 

10.2 at 140mph 1.7 60ft. Need more time behind the wheel to get the 60ft down but definitely had a high 9 in it.

 

Headed to the 1320 Video and Turbosmart meet and greet which blew my mind, got a tour of the machine shop and got some insight into how they make each product. very cool night!

 

Had the car on display at Jamboree was an amazing experience meeting new people and followers for my build.

 

Can't wait to get back to Sydney for Nitto GT-R Festival in 5 weeks time.

The car will be tuned up to around 1000hp.

 

Fun times ahead [emoji1]

So last pieces of the puzzle coming together
Just purchased the Godzilla Motorsport R35 coil kit and wiring
I have to say they were awesome to deal with and great value than other ignition systems

Flying to Sydney tonight to start helping with GT-R Festival on the weekend
Looking forward to racing the car on 40psi+ boost

A couple more shots of the car at GT-R battle

 

Only changes to date are the Motorsports Mechanical stickers have been removed (way to big and in your face)

The car has been sent to Croyden racing developments to be finished off

My 150amp altanator was removed at GT-R Festival and fitted to JUN II so he could run the car. Ended up breaking the world record and ran 7.66 at 188mph. Glad I could help the boys from CRD out

Have swapped out the fuel regulator on the car and changed to a weldon racing unit this is the same one used on JUN II and seen to be very reliable with ethanol based fuels

Godzilla motorsport coil Packs have been fitted but I am now having 4wd issues with car so can't turn it up fml

The saga continues......

Did you move over to CRD from MSM due to issues with the build/car?

MSM were to busy to finish the car off.

The engine they have built so far is awesome it's just taken to long to get to this point and the car is still not finished

MSM are still working closely with the CRD team to make sure the car is sorted

Well it's been a long... long time since I have updated this thread.

Alot has happened with the car but I am happy to report it is back in Western Australia.

The car is definitely looking worse for wear having been in Sydney for the last 3 years, but I'm just happy to have the car home.

Check out my build breakdown.

A few build pictures from the last year and a half.

Adam Lz was over from the USA and poped into CRD. Perfect timing as the car was doing it's run in on the Dyno. 

IMG_8872.thumb.jpg.0a582a438df2d53187612794d0fa06ac.jpg

Then one of my best mates decided he looked better in a picture than Adam Lz... I have never been so traumatized over a picture ?????

IMG_8871.thumb.jpg.1c2b5cd597dd2264712a0a75e0454329.jpg

The car ended up arriving like this. 17inch Koya Racing rims with Mickey Thompson Et  street tyres

IMG_20190719_231837_477.thumb.jpg.662efc36ce8bf8460d2051ee0a48d575.jpg

I finally fitted my 19x10.5 Works Emotion Dr9 rims with 275/30r19 street tyres.

I think I'm starting to fall back in love with this Nugget.

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
