i spoke to bret over a year ago,he left the workshop of subzero a couple of years back and moved to gilmour developments in qld,turns out he was a bit shonky and brett was having dramas with the set up,the car itself went to the fabricators and got a chop up(3/4 chassis)nice big tyre was fitted and a bright yellow paint job,this car became a dedicated race car,he was so pissed off by the wait and trouble he was going to on sell the car to me once finished but havent heard from him in a year.

as for mick stanic he left his familys sub zero business and moved to adelaide to tillbrook performance shop as the head mechanic,though i have heard many stories about mick over the years which would steer me clear from him,but each to there own i guess.

i did have pics of the car which ill try to find and might i add its was looking hot,i ended up buying parts of try-09s of brett and its a shame why he got treated the way he does,he is very busy travelling up and down the cost working with his father in some type of earth drilling business.

theres a website he gave me which i will try to dig up,stay tuned.

so its yellow now aye?

:confused:

omy08s u gotta vl drag car dont ya??? hows that goin?

car is almost ready just the little things you dont think about which im sure everyone misses out,like wiring,braided lines etc....im positive itll hit the dyno in about 4-6 weks then to the track it goes,if it runs into the 8s on its first meet ill be more than happy then we take it from there.....

as for try7s it is now bright bright yellow and looks great and is for sale if anyone is keen on a 7 second package in a 3/4 chassis skyline with an rb26 combo,all you have to do is find out where the hell brett is these days,until then good day.

    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
    • okay, so I figured this out, removed needles and reinstalled after swapping the gauge face on my triple gauge for my ER34, all work and look good. I tried to do the same for the main cluster, but the main cluster gauge faces are dished, the replacement gauge face are flat, so due to the dish in the org face ,mounting backing plate (clear) and depth of the needle, the flat gauge face will not work. I notice that R34 gtr gauges are flat, appears to be different clear backing plate that aren't dished. are these available, or what have others done to install flat gauge faces?
    • Cheers mate. Seems some people get lucky others don't. It looks like the motor was detonating (to be expected if it was overboosting I suppose) as the pistons had a lot of detonation damage, and the bearings were stuffed. The bores were very scoured too, not sure if that's from the pistons or bits of ceramic turbo. By the by now. Have been trying to avoid the rabbit hole too much on the rebuild, and there's been a few hurdles along the way, but with any luck I'll have the car back soon™. Might even pop up a thread then.  
    • Thanks, these seem to lay it out a bit differently. I will get back to you guys after i do some tests and more digging.
