Mark And Russ's Super R34 Build Up

[Doobs]

Damn the sarcasm button didnt work again....

Please tell me the Hollinger Box for this is gonna be Sequential..with air shift and steering column paddles

The sarcasm came through loud and clear.

You have to remember they don't have sarcasm in Japan.

[Marlin]

And there I was thinking it was going to be some kind of hidden air ram for pushing aside 300ZX's...... 007 style.

[Beer Baron]

yeah, that is where the marbles deploy from.

[giant]

haha!! damn you ben!

seeing all the goodness before me, atleast he is onto it for me.

bloody good to see! what else is done?

the hollinger is sequential and gearshift ignition cut but not air shifted.

[giant]

Very nice Roy

Russ the Extra R32 (lol) and the R33, are they your daily drivers or future projects?

hi Ryan

the 32 is just a labour of love! been slowly doing it up for a couple of years. nearly finished now, new set of wheels for it and change the bonnet to go.

the 33 has been a project we started about three years ago and have had no time to finish, it's a pure race car sports sedan, should go well , it's waiting for some dyno time in the next two weeks and the some testing, trying to bring it to superlap to puton display. it should be fun to drive, monster cams, hks t51, dry sumped , ppg box etc etc!!

[Marlin]

Well, as you can see there's a ruddy great hole in the floor where the muffler box will go. The driver's side seat rails have been lowered, the cage is done, the rear firewall is done, some groovy sh*t is happenin where there's normally a dashboard, there's something real funky goin on with the radiator support panel (have you been up late watchin V8 S/C?).

All was going swimmingly until I leaned inside to have a closer look and it fell of the rotiserrie!!

[giant]

hahah i shit myself when it moved on me too!!

cool , so he doin the radiator area too now, he must be into it! should make it easy to pull out the driveline hopefully.

was the fuel cell in the boot?

[Marlin]

Haha, yeh exactly, and of course it didn't actually fall of, but a little pellet came out when it moved....

He hadn't actually started at the front, but I could tell he was thinking about starting because he was quite angry.

I saw the fuel cell, wasn't in at that stage though mate

[Beer Baron]

all the lovely body bits are now officially floating their way to aus. so there some progress from my end!

[Boss-zilla]

Are you able to post a pic of the rear fire wall im in the process of trying to work out how i want mine done.

Cheers

[Marlin]

The 34 is quite different to a 32 isn't it?

[Boss-zilla]

yep, but im debating on how to do it. In another 32 we just bent up some sheet metal to fit over the area. In this one im thinking of removing the complete parcel shelf and then making one from scratch and set it back towards the window more. if i do it this way then i will have to either make new hindges for the boot or just have it removable and i would like to keep the rear wiper.

Just interested to see how other people have done theirs and what it looks like.

Cheers

Cant wait to see it, I have a little soft spot for the big girls (R33’s I mean lol)

[Marlin]

Ok, I'll get a pic next time I wander over there..... assuming Giant has no problem with sharing the image?? Giant?

Sorry Marlin i should say that i was directing that at Russ but if he doesnt mind you doing it that would be great.

No stress if you can not

Cheers

Ross

[giant]

no drama ross, marlin is alot closer to the car than me.

the r34 rear firewalls are very different to r32 , so the mod thats been done basically makes it look like an r32 to now!!, r34's have quite an amount of tin work around the strut tops and parcel tray. that has all been removed and sealed off & strengthened.

cheers russ

[Marlin]

Tidy work lads... will try to get some pics tomorrow

[giant]

hey ryan a few ppl have seen the r33 already, alot of it was done before i bought it, mind you we have mad many changes since then!!

here's a few pics , cant wait for it to tear the track up and set it up, it's on full slicks.

the boot area has changed as the dry sump resevoir is also in there now too.

[N1GTR]

Love the splitter on the r33

[BOZ22N]

Thanks Russ,

That is one very well sorted machine. Does it have a passenger seat?

Hahaha

Cheers.
