An Update..

GTR
Well I milled out the sections between the runners on the flanges of the exhaust manifolds, they jsut need the last bits cut out by hand, cheers to Beasty for his help on this, it is much appreciated... Soon I will look into getting the heat shield mounts welded on, nothing too extravagant, just a few posts.. Once that is done I want to do a trial mock install before I send it all off.. I ahve taken out the fan adn radiator for inspection, and I am now beginning to look into the possibility of a thermo fan.

Bunky
Well I fixed the gear box issue by cable tying and wiring it up, it felt good, but today I broke it by going nuts on the dirt roads doing heaps of hand brake turns and stuff.. Nothing like havign a car that you can do that in.. Soon I will try adn fix the engine moving issue..

I managed to get a few 17.3 sec 1/4 miles out of it, byt advancing the timing and going nuts on the highwya, I am yet to reach teh 17.1 that I got earlier.. It may soon be time for weight reduction and that will start by ripping out all of that crap a/c shit that will never be used again

Japan
My Plans for ym trip to Japan are coming along nicely, looks like I will be at the D1GP at Ebisu Circuit in Nihmatsu in the Fukushima prefecture.. Can't wait.. Aug 26/27 is not that far away, lots of things to arrange, very keyed up about this..
