In The Build - Whale-eater 32

[2rismo]

Went past Bezerkly Automotive in Wollongong this afternoon and saw Stuart's R32 back from Profab with it's shiny new 8-point roll cage. Can't wait to see this thing in action. GTR rear guards going on next - it's next stop is the panel shop where it will have the guards grafted on to the skinny arse of the gtst and cop a fresh coat of undiscovered colour!

Restricted to 28x9" slick in oz mod, Have GTR rear cradle assy fitted so ill see how that goes, will have to do alot of spring and shock testing to get it working well. Looking at re-valving front struts. Running a 2 speed glide built by Protrans. Brakes are all standard, 2 spot rear and 4 spot front, car had slotted rotors on it. Trying to keep weight down to 2500 pounds, give me a chance against those rotarys. Thats about it really, its nothing out of the ordinary, i just think Adrian got a bit excited.

Looks awesome mate you must be excited. If you dont mind me asking how much was the roll cage fabrication/installation?? PM me if you dont wanna post it in here.

Thanks

[BezerkR32]

Roll cage was done by Pro Fab in Wollongong. It is a 8 point Molly cage. also includes rear strut brase bar and front dash cross bar. Cost $2900 fitted. they have to come and finish the seat support and parachute bracket. Its a bit hard to see from the pics but there was a huge amount of work done on the floor to mount the cage on boxes and plates. Took the best part of a week. Yeh getting exited now that it is starting to take shape.

Shit that isnt too bad at all. I was thinking 5g or more, could you get that with an engineers certificate for it without too much drama? (street use)

[BezerkR32]

They would do the cage different for street use, the side intrusion bars would be removable, and it would all have to be fitted with roof lining and pillar & door trims, would be 6 point, not 8 so you could sit people in the back etc etc but can be done.. Quick street car 10.99 or quicker?

i see you buy your mayonaise in bulk Stu...like the coleslaw with BBQ sausages mate.

Few pics of engine & transmission dummy up, had to cut small section of transmission tunnel on passenger side. Had a few sets of engine mounts lying around, unfortunately cant remember what was what but they bolted directly to RB30 block and to crossmember perfect. Got a bit lucky. I think they are RB25 mounts. Just have to finish rear crossmember then get shaft made.

I need some 'alone time' now

What's going on the exhaust side, Dr Stuie?
