Why dont you stop developing your car so the rest of us can catch-up .
Looking good mate. Marks already taking the tablets for mapping day.

Hope to be chasing the Cossie Topspeed records again soon, but will make do with piddly 900+bhp. Hope all goes well & you win totb again will look good on yours & Marks CV.

Thats some serious parts going into the build, Would I be right in thinking your expecting 8's from the car now ?

Have you ever attempted a top speed run yet ?

Yes it is still road legal,i have to do about 700 road miles to run the engine in before
we go and map it.that time can not come fast enough.

The 4wd world record on full slicks is 7.67 sec at 181 mph and the fastest
4wd Skyline on street tyres is 8.555 sec at 165 mph.

Hi Keith,
Have OSG changed the design of the spacer plate? your engine looks different to the top pic. Also... do you still use the standard centre diff?

Hi Martin

I wondered who would spot that OS Giken made the change to the
spacer plate a while ago,the diffs on the car are std size with a pair of
OS Super Lock LSD's, I also use the std Nissan drive shafts.
