Thats a big ask... I REALLY WANNA SEE IT NOW...

whats it gonna be, drag/track/targa/street car??

remembering that Rickards has run an 11.06 on his old setup,

I was thinking the same thing. To throw a cat amongst the pigeons, Max Griffith's HR31 being substantially lighter than most GT-Rs, and with 383kw at the treads - I wonder what would happen if they stuck big slicks on that and ran it down the quarter? Rear end squat could be a big problem, but if it could hook up at all it would have to run a good time.

Yeah its a big call but when you see the car and its running gear i think you will understand why it was said.

My understanding is that the car came from one of the car companies in Japan and it was a demo car that they had built to show what they are capable of doing.

Now the car has been dyno'd in Melbourne i believe and the figures were similar to Ma'x R31 but the new owner (jedinathan's old man) is having the car changed back to GTR 4wd, which in my book is a wise move with this car if all the stories of it are true.

Would be very interested in seeing them both run the 1/4 and what times they would get and that goes for any other import doing the block these days that has a bit of work done to it. Just take Rickards's car for example, one very tidy import that has had the right mods done and producing some very impressive figures.

:cheers:

I have had a good look at it actually, and I wasn't saying it won't be the goods.

I have no doubt it should be right up there. Lets wait and see what it does.

haha he obviously couldn't help himself!

Now in regards to being on the road - it's not yet. The best part ofcourse is to try and get it registered with all the gear on the car...which unfortunately wont be in time for drift mania.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm thinking that this is such a small part of the problem that you could easily forego the vac pump and just achieve 90% of what you need, which is keeping the gate open when off boost. It's not as if there are not already techniques to keep a gate fully closed under boost. After all, you have boost. Just use a wastegate actuator that will allow you to apply the boost on the appropriate side, just like every external gate out there.

      Heres another fitment photo. redrilled the pattern to 5x112, and threw my audi´s rims on. had to touch the upper control arms with grinder, because the "sharp corner" was sticking about 2-3mm on the tire path. i have the "fender lip" mostly cut off, otherwise these (too) would contact with it. 20x9.5 ET25 rear    265/30 20x8.5 ET20 front    255/30 they are temporary, and look too big for the chassis. searching for 19s to it.

      Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
