For the first I drove a bog std R33GTR the other week and it was sluggish in the same way a std big turbo EsCos is nothing to write home about. GTRs need 400hp to be interesting just like Cosworths need to be stg3.

Cheers for the comments guys, good and not so good!
It's gone down better than I expected actually
As I said in the mag, it's a bit of a Marmite car: you'll either love it or hate it!
We did visit Halfords for the gear knob actually
Nice one, looking forward to seeing them. 
It's the same front bumper as before when it was on 19s. Now it's on 20s it actually sits a little higher, so fingers crossed it should be okay. Will probably smash it to bits next time I dive it now I've said that!
Not got the 4WD or ABS working properly yet, no need to worry about 4WS as it's locked off.
Not sure, hopefully not too long until we find out - I very much doubt it will get close to 200 at Brunters though. One thing we did learn from the dyno time is what we need to do in order to get more power. So if it doesn't do 200 now, it might do in the future..!

How was it getting the Pectel to interact with the GTRs various 4wd/4ws gismos?

Looks suprisingly good are you going to be able to do 200 on this engine spec?

I went to buy the Redline mag yesterday to read the feature, but it was vacuum sealed in a bag with loads of tat on it and it felt like I was buying a porno mag 
, so I put it back on the shelf and bought Banzai instead . I really must be getting old .

Looks hard from the front, even pulls off that rear diffuser quite well - why is it only jap cars can pull off body graphics, anything else just looks max poo/barryish!
