That looks killa! Are those boxes on the back just storage areas? Very, very cool Nissan!
Oh and is Willowbank where Jamboree is held? Wish i could go to that!
Im a subscriber to Rotorg33k's Youtube channel, love it! QSR, Matouk, PAC....Some bad cars!
QSR Nick's RX3 FTW! Any one that can ride on/off the wheelie bars cross the 1/4 mile mark is a bad puppy!

Questions answered.
Hey guys, Thanks for all the positive comments.
Was a little slower at the track then last time. The wheels and tires did not show up that i was going to use. So i used the rockstars and ATZ. The wheels and tires are very heavy (49kg 107lbs per wheel and tire) and i could feel it. The best pass of the night was a 12.41 at 107mph. I am just waiting on the videos to post up. Mike i ran some 32x10.5-16 on factory nissan alloys last time at the track, I think they weight something like 20kgs 44lbs each. So a massive difference.
I have order some 15x10 alloys and some 30x12.5 15 Mickey thompson Et street radials. See how we go with them.
To answer some of the questions, The transfer case is a standard nissan item, chain driven. Seems to be holding well considering what i am asking, they are also widely available at wreckers for a couple hundred dollars.
Ally box on the back is a sealed storage box which i remove for racing. It incorporates a 35L tank in the bottom.
The nissan had a 4.2L indirect injection Turbo diesel. Good old motor but inefficient and expensive to make any good power from. I had a lot of work done on it, but it was no longer reliable in the end.
Cheers Heath

Thanks for the update Heath. My understanding of your tnt runs is you were spinning the tires up the track a little ways. Was this true?
Yes and no.
If i did not push it very hard, it felt like it bogged down. Then if i really went after it, it was spinning and tramping. So i was letting off and trying not to brake anything.

drag radials and rims
New wheels and tires, trying them tonight at the TNT
.
They are 30x12.5-15 Mickey thompson Et streets on procomp 1059 15x10 alloys.
See what sort of a difference these make. They are 1/2 the wheels weight of the last tires i cut a 12.30 on.
Hopefully get some videos.
