I cannot express how impressed I am with this entire build, the attention to detail is out of this world. I can appreciate how much work has gone into a project like this.

I could only wish that my R32 would one day look like this..

Good job....

One of a kind car...

Update!!

It has been way too long. Infact I forgot I had a build thread at all lol.

Since the last post we reached a significant milestone. We continued to develop the setup on the car and have achieved a 1:16.6 at Sandown in August 2010. Video link here

This was an indication that we can generate serious speed out of a RWD platform and we had achieved our goals of beating the AWD GTR's around Sandown.

There has also been the introduction of Time Attack in Australia with the continual development of the Superlap/World Time Attack series. I see this a the natural playing field for my car which is now commonly referred to as Big Red.

This has led to a aerodynamasist coming on board by the name of Andrew Brilliant. Andrew has had a key role in many of the world leading time attack cars such as the Scorch Racing S15 and more recently the ground breaking Project Nemo Evo. Andrew has developed a package for Big Red. It consists of some small but sophisticated changes that we are about to test. The car now looks radically different to the original post in this topic.

The major changes in the setup are:

Lamborghini GT3 rear wing

Custom front diffuser

V mount radiator and intercooler setup

Bonnet vent

Custom front guards

Custom front bar

Weight reduction

Custom loom

Here are some pics of the current state.

We are 6 weeks away from WTAC 2012 to be held at Eastern Creek 10 August. We are testing the setup for the first time this weekend at Philip Island. The aim is to achieve top 5 in open class at WTAC. I will keep you posted via the forum and Facebook which has since become mainstream since the beginning of this build thread.

I invite you all to like the Big Red Facebook Page http://www.facebook.com/TeamBigRed to stay tuned to pics, vid and our progress.

A very big thanks must go out to;

Wow what a weekend!

Phillip Island was cold and wet at times but perfect turbo weather, Day 1 was full of dramas from constantly overheating to massive understeer. We managed a 1.49 which was 3 seconds faster than the cars previous PB and Phillip Island. This was a step in the right direction but with the Chasers Time Attack Evo getting round in 1.44's we were way off the pace.

Day 2. We started cutting out the front bar opening to try and get control of our engine temps. Some suspension changes and aero changes started getting the car more balanced but a brake issue has now started to give us trouble where the car just doesn't want to pull up on the slower corners and in pinching tyres. With the car now staying cool and the car more balanced we were now able to cut some laps and work on that time. The Chasers Evo continued to develop and they managed a PVB of 1.40.5. After a few more adjustments we went out and gave it a red hot go. We managed 1.40.3 This was a massive 9 seconds faster than the previous day and 12 seconds faster then the cars previous PB. We were very happy and have plenty more adjustments to make to make that will only move us in the right direction.

Here is a video of the lap

Here is a video of my mucking around in the wet

A huge thanks must go out to the following blokes, you were all awesome

Car looks great and thats some ridiculous lap times you are doing there

Your aero looks a lot more timmid compared to a few other Time Attack contenders.

Is this the final aero or is it still being developed?

Not sure how I missed this thread! Great build, I'll definitely be having a closer look come August at WTAC.

If you have time it would be great if you could post more of the finer details (are they bbs e88's?!).

Yeah mate 18x10.5 BBS E88's.

What else would you like to know about the car?

    • Be more active mate.. , not taking the piss ❤️, your long term health will love you for it I would think something like a kettle bell or 2 laying around in areas you go past during the day would be awesome for ADHD.... "Oh look, a kettlebell", and exercise helps your brain health as well My mates son was a bit of a problem child, diagnosed wirh ADHD, and some other things that had his brain occasionally doing loops, until we got him into a training program, the difference after he started training was amazing, he had more focus, and his fitness levels exploded, it is like he is a totally different kid to be around Brain chemistry something something Stay fit stay strong mate
    • I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?
    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
