you could say he's bending over backwards for you on this job.....

He sure is Baron, and many other guys are working overtime to make this happen. so much to do to get this thing ready in time. I fear time for testing is going to be minimal.

whilst acknowledging the work everyone is doing I would like to give a plug to Scott Beeton, he has an MSc in Aerodynamics, Bach in mechanical engineering, experience with the Williams F1 team and other motorsport applications and has recently started his own Aero consultancy. He is working hard running various aero configurations in CFD for the build. Thanks Scott!

This is something I really hope you share with us!!

Would be really interesting to see what they come up with and the reasoning behind such designs.

Certainly would love to hear what rules Scotts applying to the mesh when getting the basic flow and then what control equaeven just a simplified explanation of which one he uses for different areas.

Sounds like somebody SAU should try to arrange as a special speaker at a members meeting ;)

Why bother with a roll cage at all ?

If you roll this baby, do you really want to live afterwards?

I wouldn't.

Very much looking forward to the completion and seeing it in action.

This car will be one of a kind...

There's other benefits of a cage too bro!

higher structural rigidity = more predictable handling + more responsive steering etc..

      R34 GT-R Positive Battery Cable Routing

      By Beanie · Posted

      Hi there, after a quick google search I found this topic as I am also relocating the battery to the boot of my 1998 GTT. I was just wondering how you got on with installing the re-routing and specifically the installing of the harness protectors? How do they attach? Are they just a simple "click-in" affair, or do they attach with bolts? Does the GTT have all the necessary fixing holes for them, for example, where they locate on the chassis? Any help you can provide would greatly appreciated.

      R34 squeaking sound from passenger front area

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Stock less likely to carry one like that than urethane, but still can, especially if the bolts are not as tight as they should be. If it's making that much noise you should be able to use a hose as a stethoscope> stick one end in your ear, crouch down and wave it around the various possible noise makers and get someone to lift the front end at the guard lip.

      Broken actuator rod. Could be one of a couple of them broken. Or, it's locked and the central locking actuator is broken/stuck or the actuator rods between it, the lock and the key barrel are jammed or broken similarly. You'll probably need a locksmith/mechanic who is experienced with using slim tools to reach down next to the window glass to manipulate the mechanism. That's assuming that it is not so severely jammed/broken that nothing useful will move.
