Almost there....Thanks for the kind words...I will call and get more pic for you all.....Its so kool....I call and ask Ryan for pic's and few minutes later my email is full...


I have not spoke to Terry in over a month.....I will call and get some updates when i get a chance...I know he is now on the west coast when this is being made....so I am sure he is on top of it....plus he as doing it for his car also....


It will be there....tell me what you think when you see it.

 

You gotta tell Sharif to stop messing with the 370z and get your stuff finished. The time it took to strip that car, yours coulda been done

 

I am suprised Mike hasn't said something to that effect already.

 

I will check on sharif...I just got back from SF...i will tell him you said that

 

Hey Mike,

Dropped my car off at forged on saturday to get some minor stuff done to it (tires, camber arms, general once over, etc.).

Your stroker motor is looking good. Just like everything "Sharif" they are measuring three times and adjusting and installing only once from the looks of it. That car is going to be awesome to see and ride in. Looked like they were prepping the motor to go in soon. It was even over there in the general vicinity of your car They must have moved the recently built motor from the engine shed out back.

I took a few pics on my blackberry, but by the time I arrived at Forged I was on my 3rd monster energy drink and you know as a certified doctor what those things do to my existing type A nervous condition,... err so the pics suck.

Car Looks good. Going to be really loud though, really loud. Raj is going to need ear plugs running next to you at the 2010 Hendersonville airstrip ZdayZ!

 

Can't wait to see this car buttoned up, it'll be a monster.

(waits to see XKR's GTR or 370Z, as next Mach 1 project car)

 

The GTR will be a 600hp daily and the G will be the 1000hp weekend destroyer

 

Thats good to hear..

As far as Raj....He needs to be afraid...really afraid

I saw a 370Z at GTM...When you start it up...the turbo's start to spool....that car sounded badazz...I have a video of it...but I dont know if Sam will allow me to post it. I will email it to George or Sam and have them post it if they want.....Its weird standing infront of a car with the hood up and hearing the turbo's spinning like that...sweeeeet.





I have ordered the traction control for the car....they take longer than i though to ship.....also, we will know for sure what the limits of the triple disc Carbonetics is ....I am told I may have to switch to OS....I am not looking forward to that

 

Mike,
RPS twin is also an option.....held up against 1250rwhp from SP's Z no problem

tom

 

the OS Quad costs less than the carbonetics triple but 1st gear is a ***** compared to the carbonetics. get the OS and share my pain!!!

 

I would hate to give up the Carbonetic.....I love the way it feels.....I am hoping it will hold up....

I was told about that.....I told Sharif to keep going until it slips...this will be a street driven car...I really dont want to keep stalling on the road with a clutch that is only good for grabbing at 1000+ whp. I may just install one that will max out the turbo and then remove it later

 

This is the only thread keeping the forum alive. Come on XKR we need to see your monster

 

Its good to see more of my Middle East friends keeping track of this build. The piping and traction control is the only thing that should be left to do. From what "Toast" has said...it looks like they are closer than expected

I will email Ryan/FP for more pic's

 

of course we will keep track on your build it will be great. Just to let you know I'm dying to see your car finished and i don't know about you and good luck with your car.

 

Thanks for the kind words....it means alot.

 

I did not see this post... I will

I gave Sharif more room/time to do this build because any mistakes could cause big problems.....It wont be much longer.

 

r u going to run 100mm pistons ?

 

ETA of dyno breakage

 

Darren(connects the dots..)

 

No.....97mm


not much longer.....I am hoping to break Sharif's dyno so I can save other the heartache from that number robbing dyno
