Mark And Russ's Super R34 Build Up

[giant]

haha very funny!

hmmm not the smartest move i've made,

nice lines though

[Beer Baron]

to be honest ben , i dont know

the chassis will be sandblasted to remove all body deadner and seam sealer and then heated before doing seam welding to get most of the under seam sealer out,

i would guess we will probably remove 20 odd kilo of body deadner and i think the shell weight is around the 300/350 kilo mark currently, we havent weighed it yet.

there is a few areas we were concerned about in regards to acid dipping without intimate knowledge of the process eg r34 has dual skined firewalls, removing all the acid out of places like that may be a bit of a nightmare, secondly i have a sandblast booth available to me so that is the easiest & an effective method for us.

must be a bloody big sand blasting cabinet you have russ! I always feel like homer simpson at the nuclear power plant when using the dicky little cabinet we have. plus the gloves have holes which is not so nice. I want to come play with your toys.

[giant]

hehe

big enough!!

how much for a shell prep ready for stich welding?

[giant]

i will ask mark , he quotes but bloody cheap for you

we wouldnt blast the large outside flat panel areas, as they stretch, but all the floor inside and out wheel arches, engine bay, boot etc would all get done

Nice use of the 4WD!!

Awsome build BTW.

dry sump system is being sorted out.

I'm all eyes and ears when its comes to this. please take 10 million photos of this

i'm considering doing one as i'm between rebuilds and really want a dry sump rather than the aftermarket jap stuff. + i see it pretty much similar in prices compared to the way you need to go with jap pump, sump etc etc etc

[giant]

hi octane do a dry sump kit, it's the one we are using

[Angus Smart]

ohhh i just wet my pants a little more

[N1GTR]

ahhh so your gunna turn corners!! awsome that will be great to see on track mate! cant wait

i think the superlap date is just about finalized!

Oh good! Is the track chosen aswel?

Your sandblasting shed is huge!

[giant]

it should be oran park south, is my understanding

[giant]

hey roy

we only use 30/60 garnet, as it is to hard for us to change media as there is more than 8 ton in the hopper all the time!

yeah it's a bloody big unit, over seventy foot long & twenty feet high!

[benm]

Whats the dry sump kit worth, can't find it on their website?
