thats a sexy black nissan. you know ben, steering with your head doesnt help. i can see you have plenty of roll up but your head isnt enough to weight shift. haha grate pics.

i reccon it was all 4 as i tried to pull reverse neumerious times.

didnt realise i haddent posted but the car made 270rwkw on 20 psi. i didnt get to see what it was like thoe. worst luck

ok update time. started the week looking at this and this i spent most of the week working on this shitter. everything i went to do required custom work. nothing went to plan as usual. somthings i did were weld in the last half of the floor. that ended looking like this mounted the turbo up and made intake pipe painted up and fitted my home made bomex type mirrors and finished off the side pipes. wheels ect. we also did a bit to my mates black drift car. he recently brougt an origin cabon GT wing i ran the car at barsky yesterday but after a dozen runs the turbo shat itself. as vedence the turbo tried to eat itself. this left me running a fair bit of peak. we had 4 r32s down there for the day. one kept blowing fuel pump fuses because the metal baffel in the tank had come loose and was hitting the fuel pump wiring and shorting it outout. this is the seccond time ive seen these baffels come loose. mine had boost issues then terminal boost issues. open wheeling diff. poor front end grip caused by bad alignment and tyre combo and a useless driver bens car had a fuel leak and all the sensors i had wired into the dash the night before hadnt been calibrated so they didnt work the black car had a "not accept throttle" fault that turned into being an open circuit wire between the tps and ecu. somthing that has now accured twice on cars i know, and a power steering pump missalignment fault that caused it to shread a belt, so we changed brackets from my dead 32 to his car an then the belt finaly broke. was very close to anyway, then we moved the pupm and bracket to be fitted like mine lower on the block due running out of belts. that fixed the belt shreading issue but the issue it has had for a long time of power steering going normal then hard then normal half way thrugh a corner was still present. that fault resulted in him loosing power steering during a scando and hitting a wall. luckily due to the massive wheels it only left paint marks on the rims and mirror. as my car was out of action i also lent my coil packs to another r32 driver to allow him to continue drifting miss free. to redeem the day i got to do track car V drift car time attack in the black 32. that was a ball. i havent had that much fun driving for a long time. pushing road tyres to there limits. i also made this for fun.

well if everything tests ok you need to look back to what was changed before hand.

soft compared to my laps. hopefully some footage of them up soon.

heres a left field thought. what about the bonnet? the new venting setup? i did a quick search back throught your pics and the issue has only accured since changing bonnets? and everything tests ok? just a thought as whist vents are good they can cause other issues. just throwing that out there.

there is a good shot from winton at full lock with the wheels hanging out. i like it very much. i also noticed a rusted shell silvia in one of the pics. what a gay thing to be cool.

i reccon thats my old seat. its the montecarlo one i think. base model fibreglass jobbie. not trying to put it down by any means. it was a grate seat for a race car. od swap you my 4 door seats for it back if your interested.

ill get a pic for you. the 3" exhaust is no mor but the 2 3/4 one is. happy to do a deal to move some stuff.

sorry to ask but what are these gangsta wheels?

moneys probably not as big a issue as having time/ resources. and most of the places that have yet to be repaired are in remote or back roadish areas so no realy hurry up needed. i spotted a deep red m35 stag rolling into town with vic plates. thought it mite of been a reccy car?

i always miss you, anyhow. talk to you at targa. im not suprised with the motec pricing. im surely going to upset a few people but in my actual experiance with motec i dont personly like them. im just a hater thoe. i think bens going to cage out my 4 door to run targa now. its heaps nicer, comfy and quieter than the race car.

ive never seen a fat ranger!

you should have just bungged another wrecker motor in and kept racing. it gets depressing thinking that you could be out there racing but cbf rebuilding a whole car. mines beenabout 9 months the seccond time around. id rater a going car in my shed any day.

this is way off toppic but i would opt not to got for gtr rear end. why to heavy everywhere. if your running a 20 stick with it. unless its a drifter making 300kw you wont brake shafts often enough to matter.

thanks for the comments on the wheels. i seen this idea on a car from last years tokyo auto salon and that was on a full black and white car. ive since seen the same idea on an orange lambo in the states. it fits my way of thinking somthing a bit left field. i honestly dont like change but i like to try new ideas that people are to scared to do. i left the red lip but it looked to much on the wheel. im sure the finished over all package will look the part. only a few days ago i came up with some stickering to tie them in with. and as for pics. ill see how i go tomorow night other wise it will be during the weekend. but the section of floor that has been replaced now sports camo paint to blend in with the rest of it and my 4" intake pipe is repping some monster crinckle. its realy just a show car now. i hope it brakes down on the first few runs so i can sit in the pits with the bonnet up. haha.

where are they? mainland or tas?

the park lights are a seperate circuit to the high low beams. which switch have you pulled apart? the one on the dash cluster suround commonly fails. but the high low dip stalk on the steering colum is very prone to ware. as are all 86-94 nissans. the contact arc up and creat an open circuit even when they are toutching. they are hard to clean up and not damage at the same time. they are carefully tensioned brass contacts and once bent out of shape are near imposible to fix. ive never ever seen a relay fail in the head light circuit of a r32. but i havent worked on them all. so anythings possible.

i can second that bens new car is easy to drive. its a surprise to us both we havent discovered more faults with it as we are just 2 noobs building a race car from scratch. a few more bits to finish off yet thoe. if i had of driven at symonds the other weekend i could have nudged a 60. its that easy to drive. oh and the brakes are unreal for non asisted items.

thought id drag this back up. no pic but weve had a massive few nights on the car and bar the a small amount of wiring and a diff the cars good to go. all then engine bits are back on just working on the finishing toutches. i got 50% of the floor welded back in so now i just need to finish that off. very happy with the results so far. stay tuned for some pics.

i know of a fairly stock gtst targa car for sale. its original bar a few mods like cage hiflow turbo ect. pm me if your interested
