btw been thinking about that flux capacitor mounting...I think we need to add an air bleed at the highest point like the radiator system has....shame that will be sticking out the bonnet with the current setup

haha hi lofty. are you loosing sleep about having to race against this car one day :laugh:

he's probably worried about bits of shrapnel coming his way if it blows up alongside him. :laugh:....

i kid. i kid... i'm sure it'll be fine... :merli:

Ill get you a few photos duncan.

Yep Chris, I went to bens place for a few minor bits and it was easier to bring the entire car home with me.

It will be an updated version of my current car with more coin thrown at it.

Im doing a cage similar to duncan and marks but a bit more comprehensive and another Dry sump etc etc etc.

Reading about GTR sumps................does anyone want a Gibson baffled and winged sump? No longer used on the BSM GTR due to dry sumping for Sports Sedans. Has external fittings, head drain back etc, pick up, all the good stuff for a 100% reliable circuit GTR wet sump. I'll pop over to the For Sales section and post it up tommorow.

Cheers

You and Stevo can get custom bonnets together. LOL

It sure does look good though, do you have an approximate finish date. I would love to see it at EC on the 23rd of Nov.

Your a funny guy,,,November,,,which bloody year.

Let me get my head around Raceworx schedule. We have to build Duncans engine,,,finish off his front end,,,play with his rear end and whatever else has to be done. This will all be done in the heat of summer. I was called a bludger on Sunday but did anybody you look at the days temps,,,KISS IT BOSS,,,THE STAFF WENT ON STRIKE. It was bloody hot and it only gets worse from here on in. In the mean time we have to get a gassed up GTR going,,,play more with the nugget and maybe even start on Marky's targa car.

Ah life sweet and easy sometimes.

At least my cars still going,,,which will,,,by the way need Marky to help me put headlights in very very soon.

Oh I did mention I'm getting too old for this shit,,,I think I have many times.

Love as always

Neil.

you and your full Pm box!!!!

Dunc,

How are you gonna run the piping into and out of the Flux capasitor....from what I can see its gonna be a bloody tight bend into the intake manifold and are you gonna run the hot side piping over the radiator?

BTW loving the big brakes in the 17"s

Zebra,

The pics are deceptive, the outlet from the intercooler is basically in the same spot as the standard one, just higher up. We could cut down a standard intercooler pipe and it would fit, except that the intercooler fitting is 3" so too big.

Hey Mark and Duncan getting there, and tell me you are not running shinny hard crack for sure manifolds on a race car??

Giant runs stock cast, NO CRACK, manfiolds with no probs and makes big power. Factory manifolds are not a bad design unlike the zeds. Ported and extrude honed even better, although can't get any more I may have one set left.

ahaha I think you've got the schedule right Neil. pretty sure there are 2 cages to be done in the next few weeks too. ya bludger.

Zebra, thanks to my 1337 paint skillz, here is the cooler piping - nice and short, about 1/3 standard length.

John....yep they are genuine guaranteed to crack crappy chinese manifolds. turbos weren't going to fit in standard location and don't have standard flanges either. so we figured it was better to chop up these pretty chinda manifolds.

What we didn't see coming was how uneven the flanges were - can't be used until we machine the surface flat.

BTW how is our subframe coming along? do we get to bolt shiney bits on the rear this long weekend?

No we don't get to put anymore shiny bits on the bloody nugget. We get to push the nugget out of the way and get either your GTR worked on or Marks roady worked or even both.

The foreman has spoken.

    • Honestly, for a daily I would gladly rock a Camry. The more disposable the better. People drive horribly out here and road conditions are awful.
    • Verify it's going into each of the 4 gears in normal acceleration, make sure the torque converter locks up over ~65-70 kph or so at low throttle opening. If you ease into the throttle at those speeds eventually you should get a "gear" between 3rd unlocked and 4th locked. It should downshift eventually if you floor it at 65 kph too. Get some Matic D ATF and drain the pan, check for signs of sadness in fluid and drain plug magnet. Top off to the correct level afterwards. If the transmission is worth saving you can drop the pan on a second drain and change the filter while you're at it. These are not complicated transmissions, at least compared to modern stuff.
    • A seat I find stupidly comfortable to sit in is the one in a friend's Merc Race Car. It even has the huge wings that wrap around your head. Best ever. Only issue is climbing through his scaffolding he put up in the doorway of the car... Ha ha ha. I sat in that seat for a couple of hours doing wiring. Another stupid comfortable seat I find, especially if my back is aching, is my OMP fixed back bucket seat too. I'll just sit on it when I'm exhausted in the garage sometimes to relax!
    • I just got off the phone with Dean from Vosta in Brisbane. They are the ones that do the replica seats and they have a shop full of seats for my to try out. Lovely guy.  I haven't decided whether to go genuine or replicas, I'm leaning towards Genuine at this point but who knows.  Also thinking the STRADIAs are the way to go VS the GIAS since they have a lower hip edge and would be easier to get into. Don't really like the idea of arm rests on the models to the right of this diagram either, maybe they can be removed?
    • From my own first hand experience, keeping power for a fun Street able skyline down at a responsive low 200 wheel KW, is the best. It makes it super drive able through the twisties, you're not just smashing mass wheel spin, or only able to open the throttle for a split second before being at absurd speeds. That said, plenty of people like being morons at more than double the speed limit on public roads and hence are happy with 600whp and seeing 200kmh fly up frequently and fast. Also, at that low 200, a GTR can still do a decent quarter mile, and with a bit of fancy  clutch work (foot, not the parts) can still beat many many cars in a traffic light gp, even in the wet.
