Was it a KKR480? Should piss in 260rwkw on 18psi. I'm thinking it will be laggy as all get out but a sh!t load of fun when it comes on, and at least you can rev the thing out to 7000rpm+ being the 25 A mate here has a kkr430 on his r33 pushing just over 250rwkw on 18psi with a manual, should be alot of fun times ahead

I'll be keen to see how the little sucker performs. It shouldn't be too bad on the street, the 4.11s should keep it pretty drivable and the twin cam head, as well as revving hard, will hopefully help spool times. Should have hard data for all these things soon, guys.

Will finally have some good updates again soon guys. Anthony has freed a little room in the shop for the old girl, and she leaves my driveway on Wednesday. It should be the last time we need to pull it onto a tow truck (unless of course I break something!) for quite some time - next time we'll be driving on!

You look at that half finished car in the driveway, then you look at the beautiful summer afternoon, fresh swell, that six pack of JB and the fine chikitas that will be at the beach and the car just takes second place.

The problem with the clutch is being fixed, the diff is being torn out, rebuilt and reinstalled and we'll get Anthony to tie up all the loose ends so that it's ready to rock and roll. The plan is to pick it up again fully drivable
