more pics.

the roof doesnt have a cross in it mainly due to the fact i wont be able to fit in it since im a tall bastard. so having cage steel hitting helmet is not ideal. the next best we could do was a single bar down the centre, tied in with the roof.

also added some more rear bars for extra strength. rear stays are tied to the strut towers for max strength.

yeah its looking that way... bit of a bitch to get ducting through the two cages legs if i choose the quarter window path haha. if i do it though therear 1/4's im gonna need some custom fibreglass work done... got any suggestions?

Yea I know how to get the fiberglass work done but the problem is it costs a few hundred to make the moulds and I don't have any left lol. Might be cheaper to fabricate it from sheet metal, rivets and auto glue.

i might do a boot intake instead... might be more effective i think



pretty much done in the rear in terms of tube work.. there's rear 1/4 reinforcement, a jacking point, a rear bash bar, the frame for rad all done. just need to do ducting and fans.

If people are interested on reading up on my drift and Motorsport adventures in the UK and Ireland.. have a read through my blog

^looks like much fun was had

why not feed air form the boot lid, then just thermo fans

The air flow over the boot will actually make it harder to suck air through, vents in the quarter glass or panels actually work a little like an air ram getting more air to the rad.

    • Huh, wonder why it blew then. I never really beat on the car THAT hard lol I dailyed it and the turbo blew after 6 months
    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
