JamieP Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) But strangely the forum seems a bit dead of late? next to nothing going on in the project threads. Loads of nice cars being sold up this year an all. Edited December 23, 2011 by JamieP (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraStar 3000 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I think everybody is starting to feel the pinch and having less money for hobbies. Thats certainly the case for me. I'm fighting like mad to keep the old girl and its getting harder and harder. Bigger and bigger sacrifices to be made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARETT Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I think the GTR bug got to a few people, but there is def going to be some nice builds being completed next year. Jay's is gonna be immense, and Rob Mitchell's looks like it's gonna be special. Johnny's is def gonna be special as a VVTi build, hopefully these and more can inspire some more people back into the fold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The-Plethora Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I modded my break carriers from being rusted together to being slidable again on each corner in the pissing rain today if that counts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) Yeah, it's gonna be special. Have you got any different plans next year? Mine is just to drive it and enjoy!! lol Not much left to do now tbh Amir, I dont want any more power, if parts fail i may go bigger though, id only go bigger turbo if i was going stroker i think, the car has been in the baldy's bodyshop for the last week getting a few bits touched up, going to pick it up tomorrow morning and very much looking forward to that, i cant put my foot down though, Lee put some bigger wastegate springs in it as i could not get any more than 2.2bar boost from it, I now i need Ryan to play with my boost settings, i think he is going to pop over tomorrow. I built a garage to store her in now she is getting on a bit, im going to spend the weekend kitting that out with a new workbench etc. I'm still not 100% on how far to go with mine.

leet45single Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 gonna try to get in the mid 11's next year (I know thats not impressive but just my goal) so over the winter sending the car to lee to sort the clutch/flywheel and look at the gearbox making sure it will good for next year. then the plan is fit the line lock buy the drag wheels make headlight intake the rest will depend on what funds are like aiming to do weight reduction next year before any more power lexan rear and side windows glass fibre doors back seat delete carbon bonnet and boot would be nice but cant see it next year after that.

Brazil Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 My car is in the bodyshop too, hopefully I will have some photos of its progress next week. The car is in getting a full re-spray in 202, painting the endless brakes red, painting wheels = black lip and gunmetal centre, new carbon fiber bonnet, cobra Misano lux seats and a full interior trim with black alcantara and black leather to match the Cobra seats..! I am also upgrading my speakers and installing a subwoofer that’ I’ve had in the house for ages now. Next will be new suspension and wheels to improve handling so it will better match my driving style and terrain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Why you u-turned on the GT-R Jamie? The forum has been really dead lately everyone seems to get jittery every winter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraDan24 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 ScottM is going to be busy over winter, as is Rob Mitchell. I'm going BPU over winter but its hardly something i'd post up bar the Dyno sheet when i get down to SRR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
