yep, off the top of my head they have: carbon bar, undertray and carnards, carbon front guards, carbon side skirts, carbon rear guards, carbon doors, carbon boot, carbon wing, carbon dash, carbon bonnet and carbon mirrors. actually the front bar is FRP but still very light.

It is going to look so nice when it's done. It will be interesting to see what it weighs. I'm tipping under 1300kg. maybe as low as 1200.

:ninja:

Geez, and I was excited picking up my carbon dash panel last night! :P

Lol...yep and boeing are left wondering where all their carbon has gone :)

Are you taking suggestions on your next event?

Individual classes for FWD, RWD and AWD. I have a very underpowered car, but i'd have a crack at the FWD guys in the open class!

Both Open & clubsprint class have categories within them covering fastest FWD, RWD & AWD etc.

more updates soon

cheers russ

lol, mark is good value. when he picked up the dash he says "well i'm a bit dissapointed, they made it too heavy, it's about a kilo...". bastard!

Dane: dash will be aimsports.

roy mate, you know you are a sick unit when you can look at a dash cut out and distinguish the outline differences betwen a stack, motec, defi, or MXL dash... seek help little buddy. we are all here for you... hug.gif

Yeah, by the time I sold my defi's the Stack only cost me about $550 extra, and if I had of never bought them new then the difference would have been negligible.

Pity the lap timer is $1400... but I got one for $150 :):D:)

Why did you choose to go the MXL route Russ? The datalogging? I was just about to buy one but I liked the analogue tacho of the stack, as well as the simplicity of it's harness.

hey roy you are welcome to build our car. can't provide any cash though...

i agree btw, the dash looks sweet but too heavy. will weigh our air-dash once it is ready for comparison

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
