    I know someone who has one and its amazing but he is funded by bank of dad and is serious about getting to supercars. Takes video of fastest parts and makes a perfect lap, will tell you when to brake too.

    nice work, wish that brace kit was available when i did my castor boxes. Should happy with what you done so far, welding is definitely something that takes a lot of time to get right.

    Yeah adulting sucks, tell them its a great investment. Make big dollars and they should buy one too. what model M3 you thinking? I am so lucky my wife loves cars & motorsport. Very rarely does she put the foot down on some of my "expenses"

    95% of cars its fine and if done correctly with the right sized hose, fittings and a ziptie never have an issue.

    You 100% need to connect to the nipple on the haltech. Any where after the Throttle body is fine, T off the fuel reg reference. If you have no experience with ecu setup happy to help if near by

    10000% you will regret selling once the "new" car felling wears off. Find somewhere to store the 33, buy bmw, have fun in bmw then realise you enjoyed the 33 more. I was so happy when I bought back the sil80 and the first drive in it reminded why I enjoy it. I think the 33 will hold its value really well over the next 20+ years more than any modern bmw. The only thing I worry about is replacement parts for the nissans as we have trouble finding decnt parts for the HQ.

    where are you located? Will need nistune tune software & licence to modify the tune.
  8. robbo_rb180
    Have you set MAF to z32? set injector size? When I have used nistune, wideband is connected to the laptop via USB. If can't connect to laptop put the sensor in the dump pipe bung and just adjust it reading off the guage. @Dose Pipe Sutututu has more Nistune experience than me

    Yes East Coast Customs are the go. Rob actually spent a bit of time with Uprev in the US. Best to give them a call and speak with them on what you want, pretty good staff and know the platform quiet well.

    yeah that looks pretty good, current kit is complete so just run with it. Its hard buying/sharing a car with people, I was almost going to get in on a production car but wasn't really going to work out when came time to sell my share. And then theres the issue if someone bins it......

    Yeah a mate has found that out wit his r35, needs 2 people to just to run it for a basic test day. Bite the bullet get wider guards, Kmak aero is a lot better quality than the "jap" stuff thats made overseas. If goal is to run a 295 eventually tub it. Do it once and be ready for future, engine is still a while off.. Surprised you haven't just snapped this up https://www.facebook.com/groups/1597445057169847/permalink/3134510930129911/?sale_post_id=3134510930129911

    I was being precious too about drilling & cutting into the tubs. Powersteer res is behind PAS headlight and both relay/fuse boxes are mounted on rad support, overflow mounted off strut tower in front of BMC. only thing not in there is the oil filter which is remote mounted to chassis rail clear of the front right wheel
  13. robbo_rb180
    Best can do at the moment, can get some pics next weekend once engine is back in
  14. robbo_rb180
    Welcome to building/working on proper race cars 😂 Wait til you need help running it, need some good mates that like to be at the track to help......
  15. robbo_rb180
    I found it hard with the tubs to fit everything where it was accessible and took a lot of time to fit things for ease of maintenance. My priority was keeping as many things between the chassis rails & behind the rad support for that off chance of contact with objects. Realistically when is the car going to be at full lock? you won't be running guard liners and trimming bottom of skid skirt and front bar to fit is normal. Have a look at Sams s13 https://www.facebook.com/SamCollinsMotorsport/photos I went with kelway tubs as heaps easier to fit than the other kits.

    This happened back in 2007-2008 with aussie muscle cars. I've been saying for last 2-3 years it will drop, waiting for a heap to flood the market as a lot of people borrowed/financed cars and need to shift them to clear debt for the impending financial apocalypse 😂🤣 If you paid $10K (USd or Aud) it is super cheap like 2008 prices. Be happy that you got one for that price and enjoy it.

    should decorate the 33 like one of their trucks 😁😅 Nice, if you want to get on track with out worrying about walls or lots of wear. Check out skid control we run plenty of different events. https://skidcontrol.com.au/
  18. robbo_rb180
    Nice, will look good on a white car.

    if you wanted to make it a bit more compact, could mount it all to that metal strap holding the jerry. Well if want to get a bit fancy could use an arduino with a timing program controlling a relay for the pump and have a float switch for just in case theres a leak as safety. A water trap and filter before the pump then a filter in the return to the jerry would be the best way as get any junk and remove the moisture.
  20. robbo_rb180
    no need for fancy things like that, just drive the car more.
  21. robbo_rb180
    Looking forward to seeing the results of this upgrade. Are you going to be also setting up full traction control too now you have the wheel speed sensors?
  22. robbo_rb180
    what brakes? From a quick mock up I am able to get my evo brembo setup (evo 10 rotor) under my 17x9 +22 Te37
  23. robbo_rb180
    thats the worst part waiting on parts. Guessing something pretty decent too
  24. robbo_rb180
    Damn that head is looking good if you need someone to do some testing happy to slap it on one of my motors 😁

    Back into this car now to get ready for a rescheduled Mt Morgan Goldrush Hill climb. First hit of the key and started straight up. oil pressure around 36-40 psi 😅 Engine coming out again since rebuild, this is the third time... Found the low oil pressure issue. 2 spun rod bearings.... this did run in on dyno and a few street runs, did not even knock I reckon I stuffed up when assembling. I'm sticking to wiring & ecu setup from now on 😅 Bought this to go into a new car but I want to go racing so will be swapping all the manifolds and bits over, hoping to have it in by Friday night. Going to redo a few oil lines while there too. Run down on the new motor: sr20 CP piston 86.5mm spool rods balanced & grub screwed crank ported head kelford cams 188a and Valve springs ross balancer 5-0 ignite trigger kit Pretty much copy of old engine plus cams and built by a shop. Need to build a tool to pressurize oil system to 70psi so can have warranty. Got an old nitrogen bottle, fittings & reg that I'll mcgyver together. Also got a new set of MCA reds to go in so should have all the good gear to be a reliable all rounder again. Was also going to have a go at dirt rally navigating. Spent a few weeks sorting the car out but the Rally Queensland got rained out so will have to wait and see what event will be able to do next. Took the cars for a run through town for a bit of fun.
