Need to sort out the wibble wobble suspension before no more excuses
Yes, but the Titanium color is so unique I wouldnt want to change it. Maybe if it was a boring black/white car sure, but a lot of why I purchased this particular car was the amazing color.
It broke.
Hopefully not much, it appears to be a sensor issue in the gearbox, which shouldnt be too bad. Car is still driveable but in case its something more serious having it trailered for safety.
Its a part thats been surrounded by oil at 120 degrees C for, well since the car was built. Kinda good going tbh!
@crinkleshoes has his crypto-carnage and I have my crypto-repo
Initial testing seems to confirm my thoughts that it is a solenoid related issue rather than a mechanical failure. All the pressures and shifting are spot on.
It is likely to be something similar to this
Where the immensely powerful magnets inside the solenoid have just accumulated years and years worth of metallic particles.
Obviously when they open it up there could be horrible things
Guess whos back!
But I broke it.
again.
Ooops
Though this time its nothing terminal, cars still fine just an annoyance.

Went for a bit of a wild ride, traction control / abs kicked in a few times and the ABS pump died.
Quite, you are right though, I am thinking towards the end of next year to rip all the mods off, put it back to standard, and get a later model. Possibly a 17 plate which someone is looking to shift just as the factory warranty is coming to an end.
Hi guys!
Today had a last minute spot available for the Viezu AWD dyno day. So I snapped it up.
Heres the run
The loudest car of the day by far, many fingers in ears before the end of the run

620hp and 630ftlbs torque.
A few photos rolling in from the day, some of my favs
As with modifying anything over stock power, roll the dice take yer chances.
However, when you cap it at low 600s on torque you are "safe" upto about 700 hp on stock internals with many people running that for years without issue.
On the other end you hear of people who have bent rods at stage 1.
Obscenity incoming.
Guess you won't be embarrassing yourself at any track days in the near future with those then, won't even get allowed through the paddock
I'm sure they'll be waving the black flag at me on the motorway trip there
Hey guys!

Drove home today from Litchos after having the car put back to how it was the day I purchased it, 28 pages ago as all going well it will be gone next week.
Slightly sad as what a 3 years its been, this car truly has made my day, every single day, through the good and the bad. Whenever I needed a pick me up or a de-stress, hop in and just let the power mold your face into a smile. I have no doubts at all I'll be back in another GTR soon enough.
If anyone is ever in the position to buy one of these cars, just do it and enjoy the hell out of it.
