well here's some pics of the r34 last week and i will post up some pics of the car tomorrow night, should be nearly just a shell, not bad for a day and a halfs work,

then we need to make a chassis frame so we can rotate it and also use it to ship to sydney to get the shell acid dipped.

yes it's a really nice car,

bloody dirty under neath though!! friggin road cars, who'd work on em! lol

i promise you it will be reborn!! this thing is going to be something special, you should see the gear for it!!

didnt get the car finished(stripped) should have it ready to take to work and take the subframes & glass out tuesday,

there some really cool engineering changes from the r32 to this, great to pull it apart and see all the differences.

mind you i have never worked on an unmodified r33 so big differences for me.

Why have you changed from the 2.6 full counter to a 3.0 litre, given the success of the 32?

hi mate

yeah good question, we are hoping for more torque across the range with similar turbos to what we currently use.

rpm limit will be about the same at 8000 or 8200 rpm,and we will have an extra gear too with the six speed sequential.

also this car is being built for a very different type of racing as it will be mainly on circuits and cill climbs, and the 32 was built as an all rounder with alot of ability on motorkhanas and things with a hydraulic handbrake setup and it could just bolt of corners and witches hats. and great gearing especially with a higher rpm limit.

i hope we have good results but wont really know for a few months.

chassis is almost stripped and stand is being made

Ok the new body work will look like this:

we have:

it all starts with this guy.

compph05kx0.jpg

he makes this bumper:

with these carbon carnards:

Put this diffuser underneath:

Then add wide guards front and rear (in Carbon) and matching side skirts from Sun Line.

front guards:

Side Skirts:

Rear Guards:

Overall picture this. but instead of a C-west bumper, put the kagotani one on there.

Then garnish with some craft square carbon mirrors.

ph011003kr5.jpg

and a C-West GT wing

gtwing2r2c1wq8.jpg

I can't wait to see it all together. It's going to be something else!

It's going to be a cool looking car. and it's the first in aus to have the sun-line wide body, and the first to have the kagotani bar and diffuser.

forgot one part. this for the wing:

flap2tz0.jpg

It's nothing without the flap!

D'oh! I didn't know that. I think their one may be FRP though? They said this was the first Carbon SL-R wide body to be exported to Aus (though perhaps they didn't know where the GT Auto one was heading when it was made/sold).

hey will be the aussie rb 30 but with an amazing crank girdle setup which ties to the block also,

only one colour for the car for me, BLACK with a nice set of dark wheels, AME wheels made by Enkei (custom made). but will have some good graphics to brighten it up(hopefully)

4wd will remain in the car.

the boot, boonet and doors are dry carbon off the Tomei drag car.

rear hub mod does away with the hicas lock bar altogether( not required)

    • You know the worst thing about acquiring more space for me? I tend to acquire more things to fill the space...
    • Ended up spending a WHOLE day yesterday cleaning and rearranging my shed.  Due to the aforementioned disorder, my shed is as cluttered and confused as my brain. Again, because of said disorder,  at any one time there are 5 projects on the go at once and because they're still on the go I don't put everything away so I can "get straight back to it" which rarely happens.. So anyway,  I bought a couple of cheap 2mx2m all steel "pallet racks" to put in my back shed.  The idea is to then take pretty much everything out of the main shed that isn't car related. Most of the garden and building stuff is now booted out to the back shed and onto to the shelves where they belong! There's still more rearranging and reallocating to do and it's still a bit busy in there but it's a massive improvement on how it was previously. I've discovered floor space I forgot I had...  For those that have fully dismantled a car before will understand just how much space it takes up!  Particularly panels, bumpers, engine/trans, etc.  I've got stuff hanging on every available wall to get it up off the floor!  This is not exciting content for a blog but has certainly made the shed feel like a more work ready space now!
    • Updating results from our ATR43SS-1 turbo in T3 .63, OEM bolt dump pattern. Not a big number but pretty sweet for a stock Rb20det. Car's managed to pull 220rwkws at 20psi, perfect boost control internally gated with EBC and excellent mid top end power band as they usually skydive after 5.5K. Usual bolt on supporting mods and inlet plenum and factory location exhaust manifold. Pump 98 fuel was used (Ron 93).     
    • Yeah, well, it's not as though anyone is ever going to buy one of those noisy f**kers and put it into a new installation when there are better pumps that are near silent for less money from Ti.
    • I'd suggest having the engine builder listen to it, especially if they assembled it, and minimise how much you run it in the meantime. It may have a serious issue like a big end bearing from the description and I assume the rebuild was not cheap
