Car is booked into Walker Chassis for July :blink:

Full weld in cage, Heaps of bars, strut tower bracing, the whole lot ;)

Got my welder mate coming down in the next couple of weeks to do seam welding, drop tank mounts and covering up the backseat from the boot ;)

looking at doing tarmac rally at any stage in the future luke? if so i advise that you get the sill bars done now, otherwise they're a flamin mongrel to get in later on. thats why mine's getting them now and when i need the additional bracing to comply with tarmac rally regulations, its partially done

yep sure is ;) one of the first things i did to it, just gotta have the cooler piped up, boost turned up and a nisstune board and im basically done.... for now

And you said you'd leave it standard! :blink:

Cheers mate, I'll add that to the list. Lance was also telling me about A-pillars bars if i should get them or not, he was saying it becomes a bitch to get in and out of the car tho.

Got any pics what the sill bars are?

Damm ppl posting before i hit reply, this msg is for matty t.

please sir tell me more

the sill bars are essentially a bar that runs along the floor pan front to rear..............basically going to protect from random trees that may jump out in front of you. i'll try and find a diagram in the CAMS handbook

Hmmm wheel swap maybe :(

Don't swap to another of the 'emotion' series man - The XD9's suit your car to a T. Unless your going some like TEs - LMGT4s - or vlk GT-C's or something it won't look half as good as it does now!

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
