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.

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.

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
