for the guys that actually follow this thing on here... updates!
PBM solid rear end (cant recomend this enough, legit transformed how this thing behaves)
got caged as well as a heap of other small fab work.
thrashed the living shit out of it at tailem bend...
did some tandems, triple and quad runs with mates.
got hit by a mate in his 180sx as i was mid three car train.
didnt care. kept drifting. exploded my origin front bar into about 17 pieces.
below for some vids of the crash, a vid of trains, and a vid of an early morning run when i choked at qualifying.
next on the list. pull car straight. new front guard. dmax bonnet. cut front tubs out. modify LCA/knuckles for more lock/clearence. and do more skids.

haha yeah that was my mate tim, he felt bad afterwards since he span to cause it haha. sucked as he literally span once in his battles, and then had that spin (tends to happen when your making 260kw and doing "one last lap" on shagged tires)
was a rad day. should have it all sorted when im home in two weeks.
also picked myself up a street car (cefiro) so ill do a lil write up on that when its in one bit.

sup to the guys that keep an eye on this.
had our local 12 hour drift matsuri. open track/pan from 10am till 10pm. bit of a hell of a event for me.
heaps of small dramas. no decent reliable handbrake. overheating issues. crashing on lap one due to cold tires/wet track... annddd delamed a tire so hard my guard exploded.
regardless. was a fucking rad time. i wont waste peoples times with more writing. heres some pics and a vid.

haha. ive found either people love it or hate it.
ive noted before in this build thread that i love my rotors. but after having 5 of them fail me at comps and such. i switched to the v8 for reliability.
the last event i did i had an oppsy and cooked this LS bad (like 160 degrees bad) then drove it home with a leaking waterpump (120kms...) with no dramas afterwards. no way could i put a 13bt through that.
incidently. heres a pic of my daily street car at the same event.. lent it to some mates to learn in haha

You thought of running a water mister/sprayer in front of the radiator?
My mate that i crew for here in NZ runs the same setup as you (LS in FC) and we found 4x sprayers on a temp switch works pretty well when combined with alloy ducting from the front bar to the radiator, and blanking off all the side holes. Just need a spare washer bottle with a high pressure 12V water pump to get the water pressure to the point it will mist. We just used irrigation sprayers from Bunnings. Would be worth it in summer for sure and it's cheap to throw together.
