I understand its anyones right to have their say and view their thoughts on matters,but I think its time that I set the record straight about mario and his involvement in HIS GTR700 project,Comments on the forum about cheque book racing etc.Its fair to say that Mario has paid for the project and owns the vehicle in full  

Its not fair to say that thats all his involment in the project is.  

Mario has been very heavily involved in the development of the vehicle .Componentry ,combinations,set up.Those who have been involved in a project of this caliber will undestand what its all about ,for those who havent I hope you understand when I say that ,building a vehicle with the potential that marios has  

is never as simple as FLEXING YOUR MASTERCARD.Who in their right mind will SELL you a combination that will ultimately challenge them.Mario spent most of his spare time reserching  

possible combinations and ultimatelly had the final say.Mario definately didnt just buy myself (CRD) or Andrej the driver.  

Its a full team effort to build and all involved have a purpose and their place. Understand this first then comment.

I agree with RONIN, there is no need for snide comments.

I think the times both Reece and Mario have achieved are amazing. I just wonder what time they get without slicks and running Nitto's, like most do in Japan.

See'ya:burnout:

Congrats!!!!!!!

Another one for tha SKYLINES!!!!!!!

Both GTR700 And the heat preparations R32 deserve RESPECT!

The cars and their owners!

We all knw how hard it is to do up, develope, maintain and continue to progress, in our hobby we do it on a smaller scale to these guys they must have it 3 4 times harder, so much deserved respect!

Its one thing to be critical (and i only see it fitting to be critical if you are on or passed the person or thing you are criticising) and another to be jealous!

Once again a MAJOR CONGRATS!!!!!!

Its a step forward in our hobby/sport for our cars (Skylines)!:D:( :burnout:

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
