dunc i have done f#@kall on the r34 , mark is a machine when he put his mind to it.

about the most i did was pull all the vinyl crap off the carbon boot , took about 6 hours! still got the bonnet to do:(

for some reason the japs had decided to vinyl sticker the body panels on the Tomei drag car instead of painting them.

Believe it or not, Vinyl is quite a bit lighter than a normal paint job. The RS spyder that races in the US in ALMS is made yellow only by vinyl. Saved about 7kg from memory. They look so much better in raw carbon but sponsor dollars talk!

hey russ, great build you got going here ... im sure it will be a stand out at the track just like your other cars....

i was wondering if youd post up some more pics of your black street r32 gtr please???

im building a low km original black v spec 1 and im running out of motivation as its dragging out a heap longer than i had hoped , seeing a mint one would surely stir me along!!!

keep us updated on the 34 too!!! , cheers

Sorry ignore my last post, you said street R32, my bad. I thought it was blue though, not black?

Yep thats the car, it's got a very faint purple in it, looks black mostly. The thing is mint, we did some practice recce in it and it drives like a new one, and yes, I'm old enough to remember driving a new one :)

Looking great Russ. Come a long way since those seem welding pics ya sent me.

The engine 3ltr with a twin setup , and 6 speed sequential holinger box with load sensitive gearshift rpm cut.

Why did you and Mark decide to go back to twins? Thought the To4z kit was going on this one.

Cheers Coop

Okay guys

finally an update!!

thought you might like to see how the r34 is coming along, still lots to do.

but we have done trial body fitting, engine and gearbox are in along with front and rear crossmembers and arms, most of the electric are done.

still needs suspension and engine management , all oil and fuel system etc etc etc

front wheel track will come out another 30 mm yet!

lots and lots of hours gone into this car already and so much more to do.

hope you like.

:laugh: That is honestly the best 34 I have ever seen! Bloody unreal!!

Top work mate

Looking forward to the vids! :thumbsup:

Hey guys

thanks for the comments! i cant wait to see it on track.

we decided on twins after driving the r33 with a single and we just preferred the twin set up, ( with more work the single my have gotten close but we decided against spending all the time required trying)

and yeah that is air jacks on the sills.

hopefully the autronic ecu and assciated items go in next week ready for fire up!

another pic or two

    • Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action
    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
