Carbon fibre seat weighed in at 5.7kg, hope it fits. Ok now I'm getting excited, or it could be the sudafed I had earlier, either way I'm feeling good.

But wait it gets better, last track day we did we had a full tank we think.. Only did a few laps so there should be at least half a tank of fuel in there which we are gonna drain to see how much. That's 1268kg- say roughly 25kg(could be more) which brings us down to.........1243kg But wait there's more...we may have a carbon tail shaft coming, don't really like these as they stuff up, well they did stuff up twice already on my mates r32 gtr but his exhaust was close to it and ours isn't. So if it arrives that's 9kg less I believe, bringing spare standard shafts regardless to the event. But wait theres more......we may be putting in a lighter seat as mine weighs in at 9.5kg, borrowing a mates carbon seat and weighing it tonight and need to see if it fits on our rails too. Our class allows us to be 1215 in a gtr32. Pretty close I reckon and I'm honestly wrapped, thats freak'n awesome for a fully caged car without chopping all the metal out. These guys have done such an awesome job, wait till next weekish, shits gettin good.

Haha you guys crack me up, I put the car on the scales and all parts onto the cabin that haven't been fitted up yet. There's no oil or water and wiring loom so we took a good rough guess and added it onto the final reading...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................…...……........................................................1268kg

Anyone wanna take a guess at what the car will weigh? I have all the weights of all the materials going in, gonna weigh up the car shortly.

So things left to do....cooler piping, exhaust, waiting for loom, put panels on, seat in, and tune.

New positioning of battery and motec m800

Proflow clamps welded up, thanks to vpw.

Thanks James, will head over to see yours if you let me in your garage, little progress update... Borrowed a set of wheels as a second set for testing and wtac, we ordered two sets of hankooks z221's in 295's/30, one is hard compound and one soft set for testing. This is what the fit up like on a 18x10 rim, our te37 are 18x10.5 so will fit perfect.

Lights and boot sold

Looks great. Footage link doesn't work.

Lights 100 now

Cams and plenum, throttle boddies sold

Head light covers look great, I like how it shows off the pod. Something different.

Just hanging out of Tarzans armpit for the 2013 superlap magazine, as you do.

Bc made the previous oil cooler fit, saves us getting another one which is great.

Second hand power steering pump works, needs a spray job or a sticker on it though.

Work continued with more parts at hand.

Will be very simple as most of the electrics are gone. Ill post it up once I know what has been made shortly.What I've been told for now is.. Ecu to engine loom -cylinders -coils -throttle position sensor -mat sensor -ect temp -map sensor -crank angle sensor -cam angle sensor -oil pressure Body loom -rear lights -engine switch -starting circuit -ecu power -shift cut module -diff controller Motec data loom -g sensor -speed input I'm sure I may have missed some but I think that's about right, will know when Gary Rowe finishes the loom.

Slowly coming together.

Ran out of fittings required so vpw sent some more bits over so work can continue. Wiring loom should be made next week.

Lol, If we stack the car the oil tank will be the least of my worries dude. I was advised that weight in the rear isn't the ideal place. I'm sure everyone has there own ways of doing it though for what ever reason.

Hey Damian, its only subject to damage if you stack the car, placing it there gives us better weight distribution in the front left as Phillip island has mainly left hand turns. Also by placing it there it needs much less plumbing which saves weight and the biggest bonus is that it costs less in plumbing too...score!

Engine in and dry sump
