the suspension is some custom proflex should have it tomorrow! (ride height is 10 to 15 mm above what you see there) should be interesting at oran park when marks trying to keep up starts cutting curbs.

phunky the wing is mounted to uprights straight off the chassis, the carbon boot wouldnt keep it up , the boot ways less than a kilo :). and yep it's a c west wing.

Steve unless some major issue takes place, it will be at Superlap.

Hey Ben , has Mark left yet and what do ya reckon?

hey guys

thanks for the comments!! it's really good to hear other people's thoughts, i just love it.

i hope we can do skyline guys proud & i really hope we can get it back to japan too!

in the photo the car has 7.3 degrees neg camber, this will be reduced to about 4.5 for semi slicks.

all going well we should be almost ready for testing in about two and a half weeks. fingers crossed

Crawled over the car again yesterday..... what a difference just a few weeks can make! The car is a credit to both of you Russ and Mark, the attention to detail is superb, the build quality and fabrication second to none. This car is gonna be something really special.

And the best bit, it juuuuust fits in that enclosed trailer mate! :thumbsup:

I've followed this thread for a while now. Well done for all the hard work.

Stunning car, absolutely awesome. My new favourite R34 GTR

You guys must be dying to get behind the wheel and give it a shake down.

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

    • Thanks Komdotkom, I would take you up on that offer, but the cost of shipping to NZ would be horrible. 
    • So what I hear from Rob and Mark is, Matt needs to stay the hell away from your places when you choose to do cleanups, for fear my hoarding will get worse, as Ill likely find things to suit some of the projects I want to build... As for ditching stuff like Mark does, I wish I could do it so easily mate, but lots of my spares are for the R33 and I'm slightly attached to them...   However, I was staring at the pile of subs, 2 for the car, 2 for a home audio system and thinking I'll likely just ditch those... That's. A lot of space back...   I must hurry up and finish the Subaru, and then the skyline... That's probably get some space back...   But my main take away is, other than big plastic tubs, and some sort of categorising what you have in each, no one has found a good solution, that takes up the minimal amount of space possible?   And Rob, I've been wanting a mezzanine, and have been tempted to put one in, but I'm borderline not enough height, and secondly, I hate heights! (No good spot for stairs, so it'd either be fold up stairs, or a ladder, of which I hate ladders and can't carry the bigger stuff up).
    • If they are a standard parts that have been replaced with a new, or better part, they mainly go in the recycling bin at home if there's room, or into the metal or big rubbish bin at work Saying this, I have gifted or sold some random stuff over the years, but, if they don't sell, or aren't given away within a month or so, they hit the bin I use to keep everything, to give away when I sold a car or bike, but typically people didn't want the parts, and the garage, shed, and other storage areas would fill up with parts, that got old and keeping stuff for the sake of keeping stuff was not the best use of space I do still have a big box full of all sorts of nuts, bolts, washers and brackets though, which come in handy... "every few years" and typically only for other peoples projects 
    • @Duncan for the antennas for the 4G booster, send me a photo of the connection type it uses, and what sort of bands it picks up on, and a photo of the existing antenna itself. I have some interesting ones coming into work soon that may suit your needs really really well AND stop you drilling holes in the roof.
    • I did a pretty ruthless clean up before I left townsville. If it wasn't a part to suit a car I currently have it was sold or binned. I have all my stuff organised in big tubs with lids that stack from supercheap and bunnings depending on who was cheaper at the time. Parts were sorted by either chasis/motor/Fabrication/general/electrical. I have a mezzanine that's 7mx2.3m and all lives up there. Easy to access when needed and out of the way.  I also have the issue of selling and dealing with scumplace/marketbook was actually going to list stuff today but couldn't be bothered as been stuffed around too much. I generally let a few people know I want to off load stuff and people pass it on to others to contact me, generally easy sale and I'm never looking to make big dollars. Rather it gets used than go in the bin. Next clean up will be around Xmas and if doesn't go on the s15 it's going bar 2 sets of wheels.
