Hey mate just read the article on you/your car in the latest performance mag, car looks awesomene mate and the vids are unreal and with the centre fold poster !bonus! Im getting that thing laminated. Just curious where ya from I noticed all the shops you use are local to me too. Might have to get some work done to my gtr :)

Can't get these wheels in a +22 offset or else I would order them.

What tyres are you going to run at WTAC? If you want to go 295 you'll be struggling with +22 offset. +15 is more common and more likely to fit unless you have different uprights? Or spacers?

Thanks dude, I didn't know the issue was out yet, curious to read what was written. Workshop is in lilydale Melbourne. Need anything pm and ill point you onto who ever you need.

Currently running 18x10.5 +22 offset te37's which are needed for the way it's set up. Been using 305/18 slicks with no issue. Running spaces in the front. Will be running 295's for time attack for sure. Looks like a second hand pair of te37 but probably won't find it in +22 offset, best bet is work wheels but weigh 11.1kg, te37 weigh 8.8. Not a huge difference.

10kg rotating mass is HUGE!

Yen is good.. new set of rays about $2800

Blew the budget ages ago steve, I wish I could get another set of te37's, I'm starting to think I should have bought a Porsche gt3 cup car instead as I'd have heaps of spare change.

Yeah I look at what I'm doing to the R35 just so I can race against Cup Cars and often wonder why I didn't just buy a Cup Car in the first place! LOL

Yeah but then you'd just be another Porsche driver...

So here are some pics of the old car prior to Bc automotive livery and last track day, photos courtesy of hp imports. It's a trip seeing your car like this then in 100 pieces again.

Awesome cover shot mate. Our orange drift car is in the top left of the cover as well :)

Lol so true. Not sure about you but I've become emotionally involved with the it. I can't part with it even though financially it's the smart choice. If only I can turn back time, if I could find a way...blah blah blah.

Thanks dude, looking forward to reading up on your beast, soon as I get a copy. Had brad snap and send some shots of the story till its out.

Servicing and parts would be out the ass too. The R35 might be comparable, but parts and availability for R32 would be less of a headache

The project seems to be a little off schedule but its starting to pick up again. Went past today to see the progress and help out we're I could. Engine will be completed by this weekend, just needs to be put together.. Some snap shots of the block 2stage bored to 1mm oversized, diamond plateau honed bores.

The whole engine except for the hypertune plenum was cryogenically frozen, from the block to the clutch and flywheel, head, nuts and bolts, the lot. I have no idea if this actually prolongs the life of the parts, but went for it on the engine builders recommendations.

    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
    • Did this ever go further ? Would love some updated info
