Ev's - R32 Gtr - Targa/sprint/hill Climb Build


Recommended Posts

Oh scotch locks, you mad!! i had the worst time removing plenty of them in my evo after having power issues with everything that was added to the car by the previous owners.

i've had one of them Ruzic controllers in the box for 3 years really need to install it soon

Warm up lap second session around...........guess where the engine started to fail....perhaps I didnt really need to downchange a gear and overrev the engine on warm up....I feel sick watching this replay.......

Shattering. Golf R driver thinks they've got your measure now.

I kept tilting my head back to try and see over the dash! Camera needs more legs! Least of your worries at the moment though!

I reckon the engine sounded a bit gravelly right from the start. It's not like you were caning it when she went pop.

Eek...sorry to read/see you popped an engine

Highly doubt its the cause but its never good going into Honda and popping the clutch to get it back to 2nd and pinning the revs. Best get plenty of practice on how to row back through the gears and in the future with a healthy engine its often over revs on down changes that take their toll on healthy engines

yes very shattered. will be practicing hard when next out about. its the first real track daying I have done so heal and tow does not come natural.....will keep at it though.

Car is now at track art getting some door liners, rear shelf and drivers foot rest.

Also installing heat shield between exhaust and floor pan to stop nav's boots from melting to the floor!!! And a floor plate on NAV's side to cover transfer case area.

Andrew is going I make a custom insert panel to mount the ruzic controller nice and clean.

I also bit the bullet and purchased a reconditioned 6 speed h pattern Trust/quaife dog box off one of the forum members from Sydney. I was going to buy a PAR gear set but after reading forum posts on them I decided to pass on them due to major ????? On them. Hopefully the trust box will go nice.

    • The smart thing is to actually locate the pump at the right point down the hanger, so that the strainer can stay sticking out at a right angle, but near the bottom. This is the perpetual hassle with retrofitting any different pump to the factory hanger. Some just go where you need it to, some need fiddling and faffing, and modifying of stuff.
    • Some updates. After a lot of praying and some inspecting of crank threads, we've found that they were both kinda munted but nothing seemed terminal. The other option was drilling and helicoiling the crank. That is obviously the last option so we decided to at least try to get a OEM GM bolt in to GM Specs. So after honing/linishing the balancer from it's .002" interference fit to a .0018" to .0015" to .0013" it eventually slotted on to the crank. ATI state the interference is nominally 0.0007-0.0009... so it's still snugger than ATI reckon and explains the issues we had to fit the thing to begin with. New GM bolt went in at 37 ft/lb then torqued 140 degrees after which was EXTREMELY   but it tightened up to 140 degrees and it was a lot of force. So all things considered, the balancer is secured to the exact specs that GM want with the OEM Stretch bolt, (that ATI say you can use..) and the balancer itself is seated and snug AF. So WOO. Engine is now back in the car with lots of swearing. Bellhousing bolts done up, driver side manifold is on, AC Compressor and hard lines are back on the car. Next step will be to connect various engine bits/wiring/intake/radiator etc. Then oil and coolant and ... test start it? And of course, looking into this issue... which actually doesn't look so bad - It looks like it can be twisted back into shape with a set of multigrips. Anyone wanna buy my bonnet? Boy it looks good over there and sunk cost sucks.
    • Also this may be a stupid question, but how would you recommend getting the strainer on a downwards angle ? as they tend to obviously clip to the bottom of the pump which usually sits level 馃ゴ
    • Most of the R33 GTST S1 are all like "airbag? What airbag?!"
