Would be interested to see if it is as quick as Matts GTR

Im going to go out on a limb here and say yes just taking into account the running gear in the thing and after talk to Dave and Max the other week about it again :(

Whats happened to the wild Green GTR?

Thats what were trying to find out Stu, i sent Nathan a message but he never got back to me???

I want to see it on the road (THE BEAST IT IS) :lol:

at the moment it looks like it will be a 3 Litre runnin around 25psi. would i beable to get a copy of that video of u???

with the car set up right it shouldnt have a problem gettin the power down i know of a few cars with this sort of power that get it down well.

Yeah mate i find it a do a copy for you. What have you done with your old motor?

well from what i hear the reason the car is not on the road as all the paper work was not recieved and slowing the compliance process.

Will get back to as soon as i get some more info on the BEAST :rolleyes:

Sorry guys I was having trouble with my account and couldn't login. My dads car had trouble getting complianced - but it's now got the road worthy and I think it's been rego'd and ready for the road/tracks!

Geez guys - amazing to see how such speculation gets around. To clarify a few things for you;

* I assume you are talking about the Jade Green R32 GTR ( Yanack), not the Pearl Green R32 GTR, as I have provided both of these down in Hobart.

* Yes, your specs on the Yanack are correct ( someone probably pulled them off my internet ad) but to resolve the HP issue note that this was dynoed in Brissie, and recorded 454 rwHP. That's not Kw and it's not all wheels, as car was running a 2 WD set up at the time. Since then, Gino's grabbed the necessary transfer and diff pieces from me and it's running 4WD ( courtesy of Griffiths Autos hard work on the project). Still, I believe this car is capable of much more if given a turbo upgrade. Just makes it a little less driveable ( it's already something of an experience - T88, T51, etc just make it even more problematic driving round those busy Hobart streets).

* The delay in registering was more due to my stuffing around than a lack of paperwork, but I'm sure Gino will tell you that I'm not the quickest with these things sometimes.

* Did someone say Max's R31 was owned by a tuning shop? I don't think so, it was owned by a 1/4 mile freak in Japan. I know this because I got this one over as well, but when I supplied to Griffo the clutch was stuffed and car needed a serious performance tune ( not helped by the HKS F-Con V's.....). I hear he's getting some serious numbers out of this now. Unless you mean Yanack was owned by a tuning shop ( which is pretty obvious)

* Pearl green R32 GTR will also be back out on the road soon. Forgies, new turbos, freshened engine - asking price $26K with full rego, R33 GTR rims, etc - email [email protected] if interested.

* Keep an eye out for the white GTST that I've just sold. For a GTST it puts out phenomenal HP ( was dynoed at 565BHP - 317rwKw) in melbourne recently, and will make for a v. quick Skyline.

Can someone tell me - I was told that the quickest GTR in Tassie is running in the 11's ( not 10's) as in a proven, carded time. Is this right?

Yes the fastest time down here is Matt Rickards R32 GTR, 11.06 @128mph that was in full steet trim, pump fuel street tyres ect. Matt is changing it to a Big single in the hunt for mid 10's and still be streeterbale and not a laggey monster, Ben at Race Pace in Melbourne is Building it.

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
