Well.....

About the rebuild.....

I had only just purchased the car about 3 months ago now, it was in stock form.

I had bought it to setup for drift. Within the first 2 weeks of owning the car i had spent a stupid $7k on it! This included

- RG Coilovers front and rear

- Adjustable caster rods

- 2 way mechanical LSD

- 3inch exhuast system

- Front mount intercooler

- Pod filter

- Greddy Profec B SPec II boost control

- Oil cooler with remote filter

- Drift pinapples

- Greddy 8's Spark plugs

- Oil catch can

- Greddy boost gauge

- AdjustableRear camber arms

- 18" AVS rims

+ heaps of other small crap along the way

So i spent some cash! I ha d just parked it on the road to run inside for 2 seconds and BANG!!! Some Fark wit smashed into the rear, slamming it into the gutter cheesing up my nice new rims, bending my lower conntrol arm, hicas arm, wheel hub, drive shaft and brake assembly! Not to mention smashing in the rear panel and boot lid! As it may be Mr Fark Wit dosent carry insurance to my displeasure, so off to court i am!

The worst thing is it will be like getting blood out of a farkn stone, so for the mean time my re build is out of my own pocket.

The whole car now has been stripped down(excluding engine) and it undergoing a full respray.

All the under carriage has been replaced. Hope fully it will be on the road again by next week!

I ordered some sparco seats, Half cage ( Bonds Roll Bars - Sydney) TRS harnesses and a few other goodies

Cheers AD

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
