I will be there if it kills me. I"ve bought another 32 gtr thats going into the panel beaters next week to have the firewall straightend out but apart from that there isn't any other damage so I'll take all the stuff out of the stacked car and put it into this one so hopefully i can have one good car. As a bonus this car already registered. All i'm in need of now are some semi comps in 255ish by 17, some whiteline swaybars and maybe a gearbox with good synchros to finish it off.

Who's up for helping with engine swap in a couple weeks? It'll be fun!

I just hope the walls don't get in the way of my over enthusiastic driving this time.

West could you pm me the link to the tyres if your not getting them providing they haven't gone off/hard. I had falken st115's on the front of my gtst and they seem to hold up fairly well to some abuse.The drift night killed them thou. But that was after a year and a half and three track days and two drift nights. About 30000k I got out of them and they still have tread there just really scrubbed.

1.33 on semi comps with suspension. What's wrong, no ticker? I did very low 1.31 on standard rubber with crap stock lowered suspension. Woulda had a 1:30 if the idiot in the TVR had got his POS out of the way.

Gareth, I'll try to help as well but have to get the RB26 into the GTSt sometime soon.

Well if anyone needs 2 x 235/45/17 RE55s (12 laps old around Sandown) then i may be able to help out. They are the fronts off my car that rub due to the wrong size tyre being fitted. I have to see if firmer springs will fix it up, but if not then i will need to get rid of them.

Gareth, good to see your getting close...

No entry names usually don't go up for a week or so before the event.

Apparently so far only 10 people have entered or something - but there will be a rush in the last 2 weeks.

Whats you question on driver training??

The driver trainers will not be timed either , however if the instructor believes he is capable by himself he can be slotted into a "timed" session if he wishes.

      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.
