Hey All,

Thanks for the comments. It was a long and argeous road to get where we ended up. Bit bummed on the RWD run as the rollers were a little slippery. Even with an extra 400 kgs of ballast couldn't help my car grip :)

I need to give special thanks to Gerald, Nige, Pete, Karlos, Mick, Jack and all the others involved in the car for putting in the special tireless efforts over the last couple weeks to get this car in order and making silly numbers on the dyno. Without their help, this would not have happened. This car wasn't ready until 5am on Sat mornign and then moved into Jeff's Shed before the general public were let in.

30kms of running in was all the time we had to check the engine. Seems pretty strong :)

Heading out to NDSOC Drag Day on 28 May for those who are interested in watching this thing run. Should be interesting.

I'll work on the footage soon but I've got a fair bit of it so it may take awhile.

i went saturday....had a quick run around the show to check out the cars and stayed the whole time at dyno area for that run........boy was it worth it.....i was right in the corner aswell so the flame was AWESOME!!!

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
