Hi Guys,

Our Car is on the Front cover of HPI Mag this Month, Issue No. 142, Very good article from the guys at HPI.

Just an update on the car, Have been building a 6mm thick Scatter shield around the Bell housing on the GTR as any GTR owner would know there is very minimal room around the top of the gearbox once its in the car. Somehow we persisted for weeks to make this Guard. Just waiting for a Strain guage to turn up, and than we should be putting the engine back in the car over the christmas period. The Car will be going back to Mark Jacobson at Godzilla Motorsport for a check up and retune the car at 35psi around the end of Jan-Feb.

Here is the REG 4.9.7 out of the 2011/2012 ANDRA rulebook:- The use of a properly constructed steel, aluminium with steel or titanium lining, titanium bell-housing is mandatory for clutch equipped vehicles in top fuel, funny car, top alcohol, top doorslammer, Pro stock, and competition eliminator. All other clutch equipped cars running quicker than 11.00 (1/4 mile) / 7.00 seconds (1/8 mile) are required to use a steel, aluminium with steel or titanium lining, or titanium bell-housing or shield. Bellhousings certified to SFI6.1, 6.2, 6.3, will be acceptable providing the SFI spec matches the clutch assembly used. A totally Enclosing 360 Degree, one-piece bell housing must be formed or fabricated entirely from 6mm (1/4 inch) steel plate and attached directly to the rear of the engine. Where used, Flywheel shields must be constructed so they completely surround the clutch failure. The shield should be constructed from 6mm (1/4 inch) steel plate, and extend forward to a point at least 25mm (1 Inch) ahead of the flywheel, and 25mm (1inch) to the rear of the clutch and pressure plate. Shields must not be bolted to the bell housing and should attach securely to the frame/chassis. all the shields or bellhousings must be removed from the vehicle for checking during the technical inspection. An engine support strap made of steel or aircraft cable (chain not accepted) capable of supporting the rear of the engine in case of bell housing failure is required on all cars, unless it is evident that the headers or frame rails will prevent the engine from dropping.

Will upload some photos of the Scatter shield next week, it also added about 15KG of weight to the car,

paul diemar had to construct a scatter shield for twoogle as well & was telling me how much of a painful process that was at the time!

I'm surprised that after 20odd years no-one has made an SFI approved bell housing for these yet.

Either way I am so glad my car is Auto because mine has even less room that the skyline around the bell housing...not that It will be running quicker than 11.00 for a while

[jangles]

Zebra, I have been thinking the same thing!! So many over the years, but I guess cars x years doesn't add up

[zebra]

Lack of support from the good ole US of A doesnt help when it comes to stuff like that

[Ryan1200]

If the casing wasn't part of the bellhousing it would be easy as!

[zebra]

Ahhh Of course!!1 forgot about the unit construction!

Another reason I love my Toyota's now

[talky]

Saw ur hpi feature impresive car looks tuff.

Hi Guys,

Got some gear for sale if anyone is interested. All the prices are only for the items, postage is extra.

This is a 12/24volt Pre Lube pump with -12 inlet and outlet, can pump up to 60PSI. We used it as a safety backup if we lost our dry sump pump belt we had the pump kick in off a pressure switch. These pumps are $600 brand new and this one was used once, and we changed our setup due to new ANDRA rules. Im asking $400

Morroso Breather Tank with -12 Male JIC fitting. $100

Proflow -12 Oil or fuel 100micron screen. was used in the prelube oil setup. $75

Peterson -16 Oil screen 100micron, Rocket Ind wants $170 for a new one. This is used once aswell im asking $100

3 Gallon Peterson Dry sump tank, Dual Scavange inlet, Added extra -12 Male JIC at the bottem welded in. In Very good condition, Rocket industries is asking $815 with the two clamps.

Im asking $600.

HKS turbo shield $50

Stillway Shifter used once, reason for selling it is a short shifter and is to hard to change gear with a straight cut dog box, but works really good in its concept. Would be ideal in a streeter/drag car. The going price is $600 it took quite a few months to source this item.

Custom made fitting for the dry sump tank, -12 O ring port to -16 female JIC for the Screen return. $50

[UWISSH!]

what size turbo does the hks shield fit?

would it fit a t88?

[Nur33]

T04Z and T51's not sure about T88
