Not to mention hot as hell and ball soup for nine months out of the year.

I was just thinking of something, how is the front strut tower brace going to fit with the GT-R manifold? Doesn't seem like much room: http://i727.photobucket.com/albums/w...4/a93fbef5.jpg

It might not. I know on the 350's with the Kinetix and Crawford manifolds people ran without them. I had both and ran without.

I think someone somewhere in this thread said it could fit by trimming the GTR engine cover but I am not sure where that post is.

Hopefully Sam can chime in, I'm sure he has something figured out

I asked the same question awhile ago and Sam mentioned a custom tower brace is in the works.

^^^^^^This is what has been said in this very thread.:tup:

My bad then, I knew there was a solution but was fuzzy on the details.

:shakes head: Hahah... just kidding.


Mike & GTM, how are the drawings coming along?

sorry i haven't been following this regularly but are there any new updates?

i imagine for the strut bar, it'll be custom built and, if necessary, a custom hood.

^ With some keen engineering, that wouldn't be necessary. Look at the 2012 GT-R's smart and stealth placement of the strut bar.

:pics:

Is that a carbon strut bar or am I just seeing things

We had to make some adjustments to the mounting tabs for the fuel rails. So, naturally, its taking longer than anticipated.

Yes, CF strut bar.

Tits

So Bullitt,
This qustion may not be quite fair at this point since dont have your car back yet and it has been in the shop for over a year, but if you could do this all again.....would you?

First of all my car has been in GTM's possession for only 9-10 months of which 2 months time it has been at other shops and at shows. To answer your question not only yes but hell yes!!! Many people have the wrong ideas of why I did this build or only partial reasons.

So what's the current status on Project White Dragon?

It's currently being worked on. :bowrofl:

:inoutroflpuke:

People need to realize that when there are updates...they will be posted.

:roflpuke2:

Yeah I do realize that, but I figured since Bullitt was on here I would ask him how things were going with the build.

^^ nothing wrong with that. At least we got rid of the douche bag. Too much douchebaggery for my taste. :tup:

No updates yet... Talking to sam on Monday.

they don't work on sundays so it should be "it's currently sitting at gtm"

:iagree: Half the reason build threads or new product threads are as long as they are (And don't need to be) is people asking 500 times are there any updates/pics...

When there ARE, they will be posted... If nothings posted, pretty sure there aren't updates. I'm 99% certain they aren't sitting around with all this stuff ready to go and someone elbow jabbing saying hey... Is really gonna make them jump up and post all this new info. :bowrofl:

15 minutes passes

Hey Bullitt, any updates?? :inoutroflpuke:

hahahaha

Then there's people complaining about people who ask for updates, people that don't search the thread and keep asking the same question, trolls complaining about timelines, getting rid of the trolls, etc. ;)

Haha I'm overly excited for this lower manifold since I hope things worked out and I can get one out Baker in June, so I can't help but ping GTM. Right now I'm "looking forward" to getting my car fixed and looking new at the body shop (another subject). :(

It's been an hour and a half since the last update...any updates?

Yes and the update is :gtfo2::icon23:

This is really mike's thread, for those that are complaining about no updates from Sam, can PM Sam & stop freaking out in this thread. As soon as an update pops up, I'm sure we will all be notified. I rather have Sam not be rushed making any engine parts, as I don't want any problems down the road when everything could have been perfect in the first place.

:iagree: good point

We should have the new production lower intake manifold soon. once that arrives we have to make new fuel rails for my oversized injectors.

i say after this throw on an aftermarket GTR upper. Which one was all titanium?

Any update on this?? You come here saying how you are building a 1000hp car and after all this time you have nothing for us? VVEL cracked yet?!

I was like.... whuuuuuuuut??? I missed the spoiler!! :icon17:

i feel bad for bullitt going this long without driving his z. unless of course he has a spare z somewhere
