.Still haven't weighed her but removed around 200kg but added a bit with roll cage and big intercooler oil cooler, accusump etc so guess around 1450kg. Yes I showed everything that big SAU sticker on back. There were no GTS-T's out which is rare and a R33 GTR Daniel the white one with wheels painted black that comes to our track days and a nice red R34 GTR with GTRS turbo's and all the fruit.

After many months of research, I have concluded that the GTR was NOT the nissan flagship sportscar like everybody thought... it was in fact the stagea. and for this reason, i propose a Zeds versus Stageas competition.

:headbang:

Yes slicks, 3 .4 of them. One was still flat spotted bad from Oran Park. Was vibrating bad especially down the straight as it was like driving on 50 cent peice. I might get semi slicks and lose a sec or two max over the ones I had yesterday then more of a comparison to the .....times of GTR's? With 4 good tyres prob another sec in it.

Prank well you said it I didn't. More that the zed is under rated. I would love a Stagea, had one on order for like a year and gave up and bought a LS400 family car which is nice and yes hotted it up a bit. When you bringing her around to show us Prank?

Hey Roy the Aim lap timer is unreal. Wish I had a long time ago. So handy to know the exact times so can compare driving and set up of car. We now stock them and can do a good price on them and way cheaper and better than the types that have been available to date. PM or email me re this Roy.

Next outing is Oran Park South 23rd North Shore Sporting Car Club Super Sprint. Aiming for 47 sec. Wonder what might have been if I did up a GTR? Being the only zed out suits me. I like lots of people saying a zed was a waste of time. At least, they did.

OK how about 5 or more can do for $395 normally $475 for the up spec model with back lit screen and optional external power which is the one to get. Or if wanting the normal one battery operated only then $350 normally $399. This is if we get 5 or more of any combo.

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
