Cut em. This is balls out, every little bit counts.

Could you not have utilized the vents on the bonnet to divert air through some ducting to where needed? Or too much hassle?

Didn't need any cooling elsewhere if this is what you mean by ducting?

So after some positive encouragement from John and levinboy and dean, went back and cut out the doors, didn't do much but its something, just under 1kg for both doors combined. I weighed the doors again and they actually weigh 6kg not 8kg as I posted earlier, scales still didn't move from 6kg after cutting em out.

Started on the front bar, needed to block off 3 of the wholes that weren't being used. Had some left over carbon sheet that was cut up and riveted on. Also dean modified these crap canards I bought online, they fit a standard bar fine but needed to be cut to fit, and the 75mm following the coachwork rule didn't allow us to make the most of them so we cut em shorter. They will do for now, positioned them up from our wool tuft test. It all doesn't look the best but as long as it works I don't care what it looks like anymore. Really hope all this gives us some more front downforce as its easy to get rear downforce but limited from the front.

Yeah that's what i was getting at.

Nah not needed.

Like the carbon plates over the unused openings in the bar, might have to make some up myself, build is looking really good mate. Car looks great too, hard to go past a gun metal Datsun with aero!!

Thanks buddy, if you do it yourself careful with drilling as it can split the carbon, and use a heat gun to shape the corners.

Looks the goods!

I've gota find some time to start a thread. But I've done the same to my front bar as well, though we filled em with expander foam.

Start that thread, I'm sure all want to read how you have progressed.

Thought about using the foam but decided not too as eventually ill be running a full floor and may need those 2 bottom holes for brake duct venting. And the carbon has blocked off the holes pretty well for now. There's another alternative which costs around 300 to have someone block off and design the bar to look smooth like it was designed like that from the beginning, but then you have to paint it. I will eventually do it right down the track when funds are available.

Yeh, I'm yet too see how it turned out. I left it on the weekend drying. If it's come out ok, I'll get it painted up.

0.5mm black PU plastic is the alternative just like you have done.

This build is fcking awesome!! Look forward to taking many photos of it at WTAC!

Hope everything goes well, progressing nicely. Looking forward to test results and videos!

Awesome build keep us informed... Btw what turbos where you using when you did the highest kw output on e85?

Cheers, 2860-10's. or they were 2860-5's, I keep getting them confused but its the ones that make big power up top and the others top out around 420-440kw.

The oil tank arrived today, we were originally having one made up by Leigh our fabricator but unfortunately he is flat out so had to find one in stock ASAP as Bc are working flat out on it next weekend. So this is what was available in 24 hours delivery, looked at the aviaid but not sure if it would make it in time. The fabricated one from Leigh was going to fit behind the left wheel against the firewall engine bay were the abs used to be, this 6x19.5inch will now fit in front of the left wheel.

Are you having heaters in the oil tank? (temp sensor too)?

Advised I don't need a heater, its only $100 if I change my mind, don't think the temp sensor is needed, if they put one in ill post it up.

Been accumulating parts required for this weekend. Picked up a turbosmart bov, The largest and the highest-flowing BOV in the Turbosmart range.

Brett and dean started working on the car again today, had some hold up issues with parts arriving, but I guess that's expected sometimes. They replaced all the bearings even though they are ok, best to do for reliability and its easier to do now whilst everything is out.
