During a visit to Just Engine Management, we happened across this silver bullet in-the-making. Speaking to Dean, it sounds like the team at JEM are going to town on this one giving it the works from front to back. At first we were wondering what on Earth would possess someone to pull apart a Z-Tune… It turns out that looks can be deceiving. Read on.

This one here is for all you old-schoolers out there (well it really depends on your idea of “old-school”). We came across this fair lady (yeah you saw what I did there) during our visit to Croydon Racing Developments. Con tells us that this car has been in the shop “for far too long,” talking in the years. It should turn key sometime soon though, expecting to make 1000HP on the streets from a cast iron VG30DE(BIG)T.
It’s tucked away in the warm western suburbs of Sydney that one would find one of the most prominent tuning workshops that NSW and indeed Australia has to offer. Croydon Racing Developments holds a reputation forged through decades of building high performance, well-renown works of art.
You asked for it and now you got it. Started looking at the footage and couldn’t help myself, had to make a video!
The 2011 Motive Drag Battle was truly epic. We fought rain, mechanical carnage, aircraft traffic, freezing temps and high winds but we still managed to capture some of the best drag racing action you’ve ever seen. If you havn’t watched the 2010 Motive Drag battle in Motive DVD #11 the you need to right now!!! In Part 1 we looked at some of the contenders, now lets check out the rest of them. First up, the army of R33 Skylines!
Michael's GTR took out the 2010 Motive GT-R Challenge and came runner up in the 2011 Motive Drag Battle. He was back, now sporting a it more power thanks to the guys at CRD. Full weight, full interior, h-pattern box and driven on the street, this is what the Drag Battle is all about.
If you havn’t already heard the news, the Australian Drifting Grand Prix is Australia’s new national drifting series.

We will also be providing a tonne of extra coverage in Motive DVD. This will include heaps of behind the scenes action and exclusive content that only we have access to!

Well, the 2011 Motive Drag Battle has been run and done, and what a wild event it was! We’ll be bringing you all the action, info and carnage in Motive DVD #13, but in the mean time we thought we would show you who the contenders were.
Our reigning Motive Drag Battle champion, PJ, is back in 2011 sporting a new set-up with more power. Last year he had 450kW in his S13 with an SR20, which was enough for the car to run a 9-second pass at Sydney Dragway and an 11 flat at 150mph a the airport, but the set-up is even more mental this year. How does a VE head with all the fruit and 580kW @ wheels on 40psi sound? And all done a 2.0-Litre bottom end!!! Simply crazy. We cant wait to see what it does at Cootamundra Airport this weekend.

JET200 has come a long way since I bought it back in August 2003, but the modifications have never stopped. With the car running again, we thought we would look back at the history of the car. In part 1, we check out the cars initial stages of modifications.
Although I bought the car stock in August 2003, this is how the car looked within 2 weeks, and continued to look until the end of 2005
