Getting the Groove Rider Fabrications special, including the strut tower tie in support.  Yes still mainly a circuit car and will sacrifice a little weight for better handling for circuit.

Looks like the way we are going, but not until next year as he tells us he is very busy.

Wreckedhead I am pretty confident I will run a 9 in my circuit car before you do and not with current motor, it is for sale as going VQ35 500rwkw and alloy block and 100kg less weight.  I will be waiting for you in the 9 sec club.  Have you even run a 10 and not on Grand Turismo??

thats some funny shit john, do you write your own material. :)

funkymonkey yes it was me, the sun is in your eyes late in the arvo. Then at night the prob I had was that there are no dash lights which we will now correct and often with smoke in the cabin which we need to see where this is coming from and also correct I found it hard to see the tacho. I have a shift light set at 8000rpm and rev cut at 8200rpm.

The smoke may have something to do with the little button labled "smoko" on the centre console... I hear when used in conjunction with the far right pedal this can lead to a lack of vision. Might wanna get that seen to.

Finally got the tyre pressures right and me sorted on the drag racing thing and late in the night  we cracked the 10's last night at  WSID.  Our second event at drags,  and it was on street tyres.

Exact time was   10.894   1.690 60 foot  and 130.85mph  Ambient temp  22C.

The run after that did a 1.597 60 foot but then missed second gear and then ran out of fuel and night was over anyway.

Off to get a roll cage then will be back next year.

Well done John! Nice short times, too.

In case some are still wondering if I actually did it.

I am not sure even some who know me had to confirm with me thinking I may have made it up. Not exactly sure why this is the case and wondering if I lack credability. I certainly never bull crap so?

I saw the 11.5 sec pass and I said " Holie Fark"

I got no doubt Johnny boy !

Well done - don't it feel good to get a quantified baseline performance measurement of your cars potential ?? :)

how can a 10 second pass be indicative of a car's overall performance? I think John's track times already have proven his car's potential... the 10 second pass was just rubbing it in our faces :)

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
