quote from Matt The Mad **** on the exvitermini bbs..

"Unfortunately the car couldn't run yesterday as planned, cause the tow truck broke down!

But today.........

Andrej just rang me and said that RH9GTR has busted third gear :-(

RH9's third gear is on it's way out :-(

And GTR-700 ran an 8.96 at 160 + MPH this moring :-)

And then backed it up with a 8.99.

No news of breakages on GTR-700 yet............ "

well done Mario...

Not bad considering he paid someone to build the car and some one to drive it, I think I will just sell my second house and go to Japan to buy a car from HKS and bring it back and pay someone to drive it so I can break the record, what a WANK. A least I will build my own car and I will also drive it, although it might not go as fast but it would have to be more satisfying than just employing people to do everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe PAC PERFORMANCE can help me.

"yes this user is so brave he had to set up a new account to post this"

Hey MATE, its a team effort obviously. Did Tetsuya Kawasaki build the HKS GTR on his own? Was it the result of any one person?

Obviously your goals are a little different. You want to go and build you own car then thats fine. Beside the fact that he has infact worked on the car himself in many ways, why pay out someone who has worked so hard to get the whole project together and has achieved so much?

I think its a hell of a thing building a car like this, where it hasn't been done here before, getting some good results, and not being finished yet. Credit where credit is due.

dude, get a grip. mario earn's his money so let him do as he pleases, if anyone had the expertise in australia to build a PROGTR i'm sure it would have been locally done more so that it was. and DON'T TELL ME YOUR CAR WAS BUILT MY DON BURKE'S BACKYARD MOTORSPORT

get off the anon. comments, have some balls and stand behind your opinion, not a new alias.

haters :headshot:

Words cannot describe the level of gutlessness that you exhibited by having to create a new account to post your views, and not have the courage to post it under your own name.

:tool: Nice work you complete idiot. Very few people have the driving ability to handle a car of this level.

I suppose you think you can jump in an not only build one of these cars YOURSELF but also run a time as stated with you behind the wheel?

i see his point tho, not the wanker part, but like, all mario is, is the owner, i congratulate him on a good time and all the rest, but all he is , is a cheque book? isnt he?

fair enough if he drove it, he could claim the time, or if he built the car...

please dont see this as bitching, im just tryin to explain my point.. and i think his too.

His money= His car right? his money spent on mods= his faster car right?

Who cares if he doesnt build/race the car! His money, His car, HIS TIMES!

If you think you can do better.... then please so, or go and die.

Boxhead: So seing as Mario pays for his modifications with money no doubt well earned and has the best in the business build his cars, then i guess every one of us who has had "someone else" fit a part or service our cars is a "cheque" writer?

you got it all wrong nick,

im just saying your a cheque book racer, if all you do is foot the bill, i mean, if you pay for mods, and you drive it and its your car good on you, or if you build the car and someone else races fair enough too

but to sit back, own the car on a peice of paper, and just make it the fastest gtr with your money just to say you have the fastest car, i consider those people tools,

im not saying you have to do it all on your own, but you should do something...

I feel the flames from here........lets all gang up on gtrn1:bahaha:

just kidding

To MarioGTR,

Glad 2 see all the time and money you invested in GTR700 is paying off. You did what you set out to do, unlike some others on here who are all talk and no action.........

8.96 is gonna make my GTR seem real slow in comparison:(

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
