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.

Ok found some info on the car

The details are as follows:

• This car is (or was) the primary demo car for Yanack Racing in Japan

• Travelled an elapsed 77K klms since manufacture, it has travelled less than 8K klms since an extensive and meticulous rebuild at huge cost to the former owners.

• HKS 2. 7L stroker (8000Km),

• Trust TD07 turbine (1000Km),

• HKS F-Con V professional,ORC twin plate clutch (1000Km),

• OS Giken fast cross transmission (1000Km)

• Tomei 2-way diff,

• Brand new YANACK Racing widebody styling and GT wing ( bodykit worth $10K by itself),

• 7 point roll bar,

• TRUST Oil Cooler ( new),

• HKS boost gage,oil temperature gauge,oil pressure gauge, fuel pressure indicator and exhaust gas temperature indicator,

• oil catch tank,

• Yanack recently spent almost $70K AUD modifying & tuning this car, not including the costs of cosmetics.

• Car is suggested to be close to 600BHP ( 335rwKw) at 1.6bar, but this will be confirmed when dynoed upon landing.

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.

how to put photos on to my ID like others have done, or to even post them straight into this thread.

I have uploaded 3 photos to the gallery, but can't seem to link them to my ID - where it would show that I have 3 photos against my name.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
