What's Going On With Everyones Cars?

[Bushy]

I can't actually say because we used to have thermo fans

[pipster11]

Spacers on, so much less hover-car-ness

Also some more plasti-dip action (rear gill things)

Also tried my kakimotos on (won't clear brakes without spacers)

Really wish i had a full set

(looks high because the suspension hasn't settled, and its pretty high susp too )

Have mainly been working on fixing up wiring under the dash, installed gauges, electronic boost controller and removing more sound deadener. Also mounted new wing, and working on front splitter to balance aero

[Bushy]

Looking good fellas!

I've seen your car out at Shaw(?) a while ago Funz and wondered what was happening with it, good to see you post, you should start a build thread. What's the purpose for the car...sprints, circuit racing?

[pipster11]

found some cheap wheels to go with my kakimotos

going to check them out tonight, hopefully they aren't super shit offset

[pipster11]

Turns out the we're 18's,but I need a pair of 17's

[pipster11]

Went on a drive with a couple of mates on sunday, snapped a couple of pics just before sunset

Also bought some roof racks off a mate, pics to come

Before I call an engineer, can anyone tell me if height adjustable/damper adjustable coilovers can be engineered in Tassie and if so what requirements do they need to meet?

I've looked through the Vehicle Standards Bulletin 14 but this only talks about changing from one suspension design to another (i.e. double wishbone to McPhearson strut), there's no mention of specific requirements that a coilover shock must meet.

Looking at BC BR Type RS which don't have pillowball strut tops or adjustable camber plates.

[XRATED]

I don't believe that adjustable suspension is engineer-able...

Hmm that's interesting, I was of the impression you could but wasn't certain which is why I was asking. I'm sure I've seen cars advertised saying they are mod plated for coilovers. It might be best to just speak to an engineer, thanks for the input though, I was hoping someone might have been through the process already who could give me a definite answer

[Bushy]

For anyone interested, I spoke to an engineer today who said you can get a mod plate for height adjustable coilovers providing they cannot be adjusted below the minimum ground clearance of 100mm.

And just to cover myself....talk to the engineer you plan to use before purchasing new coilovers

[XRATED]

sweet...

although all the coilovers I've ever seen can go much much lower than 100mm body clearance.

Let us know, how you go.

J.

[Bushy]

Yeah I think pretty much any coilover that is base height adjustable would go below 100mm clearance.

[XRATED]

Maybe call the guys at Drummond, proper motorsport shock and spring set and aren't designed to be super low. Mine feel light years ahead of the previous Japanese brand coils that were in the GTR.

so over xmas period i had mandatory leave period so decided to have a proper crack at cleaning up and painting the interior and cage. Managed to find paint in a can that was near spot on to the original interior colour which was good, even a green paint that was so close to my cars colour lol

(remember, I'm not a professional painter, it's not the best job but looks 100x better than it used to, and also.. im lazy)

Also gauge wiring is nearly done, only need to wire up the source wiring to the DIN rail to run everything

[Bushy]

Looks great! I find painting things very tedious but also one of the most satisfying jobs as it often makes a huge difference

[Funz]

Cheers man, yeah, it's only a race car so i wasn't going to waste time doing it via gun etc. just wanted interior to look neater than it used to

anyone know what a set of R32 GTR wheels with tires are worth? thinking of selling mine.

thanks in advance

Haven't posted on here in a while, I finally got around to fitting my blast pipes sounds mint again although stupidly loud having no cat/mufflers ect, other than that not much else is new.

thinking of selling my gtr wheels if anyone's interested send me a pm with offers/trades
