Is that GTR breather tank go between the battery and radiator support? Ever made one that incorporates coolant overflow for 32's?

Correct it sits infront of the battery behind the radiator support.

I have done a few different coolant/breather tank combinations. Depends how the owner wants it to look.

If you have something in mind I have a few cars here that I can design one with and fabricate to suit your needs.

Ive also done a couple of power steering/ washer resiviour combinations. Havent got any photos of those ill have to take some when that car comes back in next time.

Here's a radiator overflow for an old F350 truck that has just come off the fab bench.

  • 2 weeks later...

The last of several RB26 dry sump pans that have had to go out prior to the xmas break.

Ive changed the design slightly in the last few weeks. Improved the rear scavenger port location and the supply chamber.

Have a rollcage to do in the insight motorsports S2000 in the coming week.

The current one doesnt allow for much seat positioning.

And one of the concealed breather tube that I try and use most of the time.

Basicly it breathes from the top of the inside but vents out the bottom, so there is no physical vent to be seen.

Thanks mate.

The R34 GTR one is now a new product that I've just finished doing the drawings for so it can be replicated.

See what I mean about the breather being hidden. There is also a baffled section above the breather.

R32 GTR combination catch cans are a few days away but I've made the first cardboard template

Also working on doing another combination of power steering resiviour and washer bottle to mount on the passengers shock tower.

I couldn't picture how the hidden breather would work but it certainly looks good.

Alloy power steering and washer bottle would be awesome aswell. Look alot better than the standard items

The capacity of those is 3.2L before they leak out the breathers. 3.6L in total but won't hold that.

That exact one the photo above is $330 Inc gst. That doesn't include the hose or hose ends only the tank and welded on fittings.

This is the rest of the R34. Unfortunatly I cant take credit for the rest of the work, it was completed by another place previously.

Back to where it all began.....

Doing a cage for one of the managers at wakefield park in his Type R honda integra. Doing a whole IPRA build for him actually but the cage is the beginning.

Brad do you have any pictures of under car surge tanks you have made? And do you have one for a R33 GTSt?

Also do you have the same alloy door trims for an R33 as the S13 ones in your first post?

You can PM me or call me if it is easier.

Cheers

    • Thats the current state of the reo. Bit ew, but GTR Reo and supporting bars are $2000, and 2nd hand GTT ones are $1000... More engine disassembly. The good news is   Various LS weird sounds are apparently normal Everything coming out is in perfect condition The bad news is: Everything coming out is in perfect condition It looks like whoever assembled this engine ~25,000km ago was telling the truth with what's in it and how they did it. Even things I was unsure of like the timing chain - But it's a brand new double row timing chain, spaced perfectly. They even cut up the stock windage tray to keep it instead of being lazy and to work with the baffle. Cam, Heads, springs, LS7 lifters, Pushrods - All look new and have obviously been working perfectly. In other news, we removed the pineapples that were loaded below the superpro subframe bushes. They look a fair bit munted and have deformed the poly bushes that are 'above' them. I'm telling myself that now that there's space 'under' the bush between the little cup that bolts in... that having a pineapple wedged there was bad and basically made the rear end solid. The pineapple and the superpro bush are ... equally deformed (i.e they have deformed one another from being smashed together). We'll see how it goes with bushes only. I am sure this cope will fail and the answer will be to drop the subframe and put nismo rubber bushes in there instead. $400 worth of gaskets and ARP head bolts to replace perfectly new looking gaskets that absolutely weren't leaking  and were installed perfectly with great care - because god damnit.    
    • Why bother? Keep them under 1bar and be happy, I had it for 10 years and never had an issue. once you go beyond that the budget blows out fast and then keeps on blowing out 
    • I'd still recommend rebuilding the turbos too. That will eat up a lot of the budget especially if you aren't willing to put in the labor to R&R the turbos yourself but it's a huge risk to ignore it at this point.
    • Can't help it, its an illness. 
    • Yep, agree with all of the above added on too. I just love the age old "what boost were you running?" Question without getting any other surrounding data. IE, may have ran 20psi, and lived for 12 years, but it was an 80 year old granma driving it to Bingo once a week and never took it over 2500rpm.
