Yeah no sh1t, some one must have a voodoo doll of my car that only works at Sandown, the car has heaps left in it still, I didnt even get enough time to get used to the brakes, I really just cant explain how much better they are, by far the best mod so far. Yeah hopefully there are some good pics of it, weather was failry ordanary, but Jon said it was looking really really good through the camera. Guess we will have to wait and see though.

Love this thing... It looks so standard underneath the bonnet and yet it pulls major power!!! Very nice Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Thanks, yeah some old dude was telling me about his n/a in his 240Z, asked how much boost it was running I said 25psi, he nearly dropped over then, he said whats it making around 250rwkw's? I said yeah more like 380rwkw, I swear his heart skipped ten beats. It was just so hard to get the power down today though, Calder is so slippery.

sounds good jas, im sure you loved it in the rain !!!! whens sandown ? ill have to have a chat with ya on what i need to do to get mine out on the track jas, hopefully ill be there with ya. you have got me reved up just to get it on the track and give it a crack

Dont use second hand suspension parts kids! Only use the good stuff, dont be an idiot like me. This is the result of a dodgy castor rod breaking under heavy breaking, this happened the Wednesday night before my photo shoot for street commodores, lucky my mate had quit his job on the Monday and had some spare time to fix it; Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Just out of interest how fast were you going when it broke?

Fast enough that the new brakes were better than the new castor rods.

haha. Im just tricking I know the answer to my question. Cant wait to see it in SC!

I know. Yeah hope it looks good in the photos. Sandown next month, bring the monaro, you will beat me there, Ill get about 3 laps in before I brake something.

Looks good jas, that same thing happened to a mate, bigger brake's, standard Z'bar but the damage wasnt as bad as your'se. so did SC do the shoot?

Yeah mate, shoot went very well, had a mate fix it up in 2 days for me, very lucky he had some time off work.

Big change of plans have come about, I will be selling the car in the next few months minus engine suspension and brake setups, I have bought a new engine and have all the standard suspension and brakes to go back into this car, the rest of it, interior stereo and the rest is going to stay. I have decided to build a dedicated track car, 2 seats and a cage, I couldnt bring myself to do it to this car so I bought a calais shell for the project. If anyone is interested in buying this car contact me via pm, car will be featured in street commodores in a few months also.

Nooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!

Nowhere!!

Car isnt getting sold now, project car has been de listed, and the cage and so on will be fitted to the BT1. Due to a spark plug failure and the small damage to the block a new engine is being built, with a twin cam head. Im really after some low down pull, and not alot more top end, maybe 450rwkw, less is probably plenty though. So far I have got the bottom end sorted, just waiting for the head to come. I have organised a 6 boost manifold and a 50mm wastegate to go with the new TO4Z turbo. Im still chasing an RB26 inlet manifold, either standard or aftermarket, prefere aftermarket, so if you have anything yell out. Trying to sort some cams out aswell, so again if you have anything let me know. Once the engine is done the interior is getting pulled out and sold, and the cage will be fitted, along with custom dash and only 2 race seats up front, main aim for the car now is to have it running by early next year, compete in a full season of the club races, with maybe one leg of the Duttons rally. Try to make it reliable as possibly for a VLT, then the following year try to make our way down to Tassie for the Targa. Thats a big ask, but hopefully we can get there by that stage.

Targo would be so sick

shotgun.
