Hey Russ,

Finally found this thread. The 34 is looking the business.

I got my roll cage finished today and the dry sump has arrived. Thanks for talking me into that. Pretty happy with how it's all shaping up. I gotta start my own build tread for it. seems to be a good way to pick up some good ideas from the other guys.

Cheers

Coop.

Ps. A pic of my cage almost finished with new rear firewall.

oh, I know the answer to this one. yes the 33 was run, but I'll leave it up to russ to give his thoughts on it. :yes: all I'll say is that a T51R is a tad different to the nice twin set-ups they are used to.

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.

Oh, we like!

Details on brakes and wheels please mate? 380mm rotors? 18' rims?

Is the motor and turbo setup for this one finished?

hey Steve

The wheels are Advan RS 18 X 10's, the brakes are Alcon V8 supercar stuff, i think 385 mm.

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

engine, box and final drive are in

3L and twins - a man after my heart

Ive got rb30 and HKS GTRS's, even untuned its an amazing difference in comparison to twins on a 2.6L, you'll be very happy

Thanks for the info :)

And the big question im sure a lot of guys here are wondering; With so much left to do, do you think you'll have it at superlap?

    • Done about 5k Km on the PS5's now, excellent street tyres, great in the dry, and the wet, seem to be wearing very well, I haven't measured tread depth, but it looks like minimal wear, I also had a different alignment done about 1500km ago,  From looking at the tread wear, which is really only minimal, the alignment changes were based off how the tread looked, and how it felt throwing it around, the changes have shown great results 215/45 17 at 32 psi Front Caster: 5.5° Camber: -1.5° Toe: 0.0mm Rear Camber: -1.0° Total Toe-in: 1.5mm I actually prefer PS5's now over the RS4's, as the PS5's are much better in the wet IMO, and as the MX5 gets driven in all weather conditions doing daily duties, hwy trips, and blasts in the mountains, wet weather grip is high on my priority list
    • To update this thread. I got sent a replacement Attesa pro unit and all is now working as expected. Cheers
    • FD is so sexy she can pull off tri-spokes
    • Indeed they do. Best my diff builder could tell is it's a combination of the different cut/angle and it would seem they lap them in well on accell but less so on decel. He had to use a slightly different pattern to the lap to get the best result noise wise. Also as the rear diff runs in, the whine is getting less.        Overall they seem like a good thing so far. He's done a few neat crown/pinion before but all for race cars with loud everything, in most cases the exhaust is louder, so I am the first to notice.... and be somewhat of a pain   
    • What do you mean by "test"? It sounds like you're just switching things on and off that you already know don't work. Get the wiring diagram and a multimeter and start looking for power where there is supposed to be power and earth where there is supposed to be earth. Look for continuity across switches that are otherwise unresponsive, etc etc.
