Went to the drags last wednesday night for the skyline night for the yolos last minute just made the last entry, I knew I wasn't going to get a good time down but just wanted to get the car on the strip again hadn't driven it for a few weeks. Rear tyres were bald as from RW still, and didnt have any gear with me to let the tyres down etc. Ended up running an 11.0 @ 135mph, Just couldn't get traction off the pad , i was slightly impressed as everything is still setup for track rather than the strip so I didnt even think i would run a low 11. But now ive got Got some new tyres now so hopefully if an opportunity arises I can get down for another crack with some more attempts

Couple pics from RW.

I'll be honestly and say I have absolutely no clue haha. Im pretty sure it's just a carbon wrap though.

To any of you that aren't graced with my presence on facebook, I'll chuck a couple of these up. Car got put on the Racewars & F&F 7 promo at morley galleria week after collie, got it all cleaned up nice, Had alot of interest. Was a good night apart from my Parking lights button on the dash having a burnt out LED and me not knowing it was stuck on , Dry cell didn't like that one at all. PPG straight cut box is being swapped out for my old stock box for racewars so I can have a 5th gear in time, And hopefully lasts long enough to get a Vmax crack out of it. Will also be on its full power tune to so should be in for some fun Orange indicators have gone on to replace the old smoked corner ones, and finally sorted some side indicators!, Next up probably some Gauges, fix up the interior lining, and probably get the boot relined. Small cosmetic things. maybe a holinger Also here, Have a video <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MmflMC7gsmg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> at racewars had a Good weekend had so much fun, Wish I had my ppg box in! but i bent the 5th selector fork so back to stocker. Stock box held up well, First pass I just wanted to feel out the track over the 1000M and get a feel for the shorter braking distance as this is the first time I'd had the GTR out for some real speed runs to really open up, after some encouragement from Brockas basically to not be a bitch I nailed it on the 2nd run Felt like I had enough for a 260-265 km/h pass with a better 2nd gear grab off the launch, but really couldnt be bothered lining up again against that headwind! All in all fantastic weekend, Had some serious fun lining up the other boys on the 800 and 400 roll ons and stop starts, Can't wait for the pictures and videos to start popping up I have seriously got to hear what that launch looks like from the outside haha. Good to put some names to faces off the forums cheers for everyone coming up for a chat and supporting my build from start to finish it's really paid off! And to the guys at the workshop and the spectators and organisers at RW for making it so fun.

Quick update havnt had much time to give info , But it went 580 on 19psi for a little safe detune to get used to the power after the run in with the 4k limiter and 0 boost. It drives like a dream, Just gone in for its full power tune while keeping a respectable safe limit so looking at 650+

Off for finishing touches and power tune this week

bump

Soon! Possibly tommorow actually, I took the silencer out and jesus. I don't feel good driving it around that loud haha. Brings the car to life though.

Yeah she does alright haha

Will pay good money for one, Sick of looking lol, Its the bottom one, I keep getting offered the top one. Cheers, You can text me on 0430EightFourThree530

Brought car home from the workshop, time to put some run in kms on it, Can confirm, Sounds like honda tractor with the silencer in, Still loud. Tomei Ti ftw. Can confirm Straight cut gears are LOUD as f**k. Can also confirm no A/c, Such regrets, Much why's. Should be ok when weather cools down a bit, I like driving with the window down anyway. Filled the tank up full , Drove home, Did a nice freeway run, then took a fair few backroads near my house for a bit of stop start, Quite happy with where its at, Will try to get a power tune in the next couple weeks. So happy with the effort and countless hours the boys have put into it, All the extra bits and pieces absolutely finish the car off, Still a couple bits and bobs we need to get sorted to finish it off, but for now RUN IN

Road tested Thursday afternoon, everything is perfect, Except for the front bar I bought which is still black needs paint haha, The pedal is really tough to push down on the brake assuming booster needs some love need to gid some dardy kerb stomping action to slow the car down with that bad boy.

Haha it's all there now, With the current setup I'm looking at anything around 650 although Closer to 700 the happier I'll be but originally decided to settle with the OS giken twin plate and maybe the turbo might hold us back from a figure nearing closer to that, But anything near 490kW I'll be happy with everything's there for future power provisions anyway

They were made in house at Galvsport in Perth

Thanks Little bit of paint and panel now, and it's ready for some run in k's to be put on, Little road test went well, ppg box nice and smooth
