  1. The pedal box is an OBP product from the UK, we made a plate to weld to the floor to give more strength to the pedal box during use. This removes the master cylinder and also allows us to move the brake fluid canisters to inside the cabin away from the heat of the engine bay. The gearbox is a TTI 6 speed sequential and will be mated up to a 7.25" triple plate Xtreme clutch kit.
  2. Well a lot has been going on behind the scenes in the last year and the car is still not fully rebuilt. Hopefully next week sees the car back on all 4 wheels after spending more than 12 months as a non rolling shell on a mini hoist. Lots and lots of parts have been purchased and are waiting to be fitted after it gets back from the fabricators and paint shop. There is some massive changes coming and hopefully it will be running by January. I have been very lazy on the updates but have also added a baby girl to household so internet time is limited these days. I have created a facebook page which is easier for me to update with pics and progress. Go give the Page a like for the latest updates. https://www.facebook.com/Racegtst-R33-Skyline-Sport-Sedan-1578963345733791/

  5. 1 Race car is enough of a headache. I may or may not be thinking about a sequential box for the Skyline! Bloody series sponsor jinxed me, LOL
  6. In the middle of May 2 weeks after the V8 round we were down south at the Collie Motorplex for our next round. Not many in our class made the trek. It was a wet and cold weekend on a tight track. My weekend started good but unfortunately half way through race 2 I had slight contact with another car which bent my right front LCA. That was the good bit, the bad bit was something shorted in the engine bay and I had a engine bay fire. I was out of the car extremely fast. So anyway we are are back home with the entire front of the car stripped. The engine is being checked and anything that needs replacing is being replaced. So we have a fair bit of work to do, this has also allowed me to spend a bit of time on my 180SX sports Sedan, it will be running in the next week or so and then I will put it up for the sells.

  7. Well it has been a busy beginning to the year and I am a bit behind in updates. We were on the V8 Supercars card as a support event with the Improved Production guys. I had a up and down weekend that started great in quali and race 1 then went down hill when I broke something in the gearbox in race 2 which meant the dogbox had to come out and a standard box dropped back into it over night and race 3 was under a cloud due the accident at the front of the field on the first corner of the first lap. We all got good coverage for Race 2 by Foxtel, it was a pity that the race went under safety car and the 2 classes could not fully show case how good the racing is over here.

  8. Been a bit slow with updates from the last race meet on the 12th April. We put a rear wing on it to help settle the back and reduce wheel spin over the hump on the back straight. I am pleased to report that the wing has made a massive difference even with near bald tyres and the dampness on the track all day. Race 2 I had a good start and was ready for some great racing when the gear selector fork jammed on me when trying to go from 4th to 5th gear. The car is now ready to go for this coming weekend as the supports for the V8 Supercar's Supersprint. Wing fitted using dodgy brackets, I am planning on making nicer brackets and fitting a drift lip for a smoother look.

  9. Out of curiosity, what did it weigh?
  10. It was a great night especially after being out of the seat since last July. Now too get used to it, sort out the rear handling issues and back at the track in 2 weeks time then we are combining with IPRA guys as a support event for the V8's in May. I was a bit optimistic with that pass but I thought he was staying wide but that is racing. It was all good after with no hard feelings.
  11. It has been a long wait but the car was finished last week just in time for the first race meeting of the year. We also changed some of the suspension settings which made the front nicer and the back was sloppy as shit under brakes and not putting the power down the way it was. So back to the drawing board to work out where to go next with the rear end. It was nice to be out on the track again even though I was pretty rusty. I qualified a bit of the pace but confidence grew as the night went along. The video did not start for race 2 otherwise here they are including an oopsy I had where I hit Craig in the WRX in his right rear wheel at the end of lap 1 race 1 then we had a drag race to the line on the last lap where Craig was able to get there by 0.0782 of a second. Both our wheels will need some repair and we both were able to continue.

  12. The new pan is now on the car along with the ATI harmonic balancer and power steering pump bracket. It will be nice to have power steering back. We are still waiting on the new dry sump pump and bracket, hopefully this will be sorted in the next week or 2. The brakes were fitted a while back and work well so far. The car will be entered into the Street car class over here in WA with selected runs in the Speed Event Series. I also hope that in about 2 or 3 years time that I along with a few others will bring a few cars over to the east to have some fun at some different tracks. The class I am involved with website is : http://streetcarracing.net/ shitty phone pics of the sump pan etc.
  13. Things have been slow, I am still waiting on the new dry sump pump and hopefully that will be ready in the next week or so. In the meantime I ordered a Aviaid billet Aluminium dry sump pan which turned up today. Hopefully it should be ready for the February SES Sprint art Barbagallo raceway.
  14. That engine is in my Skyline and I have not the time to repair my old engine to fit into the 180
  15. I still am waiting for a new dry sump pump and a billet aluminium sump to turn up. Can't put it back together until these 2 key parts turn up.
  16. Cable ties are your friend. I have been using them for year son my skyline and they keep the brake ducts nicely in place. I had to withdraw from Saturdays NL event but might pop my head up for a look. I am happy to have a look and make adjustments for you.
  17. Amid, You are correct, that is me entered for the NL day. Only if my new dry sump pump turns up in time along witht the below new part ordered last week. I will be using the day to get seat time and to run in the engine as well as iron out any bugs if they turn up. I will not be chasing times but if a lap happens to get timed then so be it. ???
  18. Tried to PM but your inbox must be full. Message me your number and I will give you a call during the week. Cheers Shaun
  19. Hi, Can you also provide a pump and pulleys for a RB30?
  20. They are no longer on the car. They did help with some cooling of the rear brakes but did alter the balance of the car a bit. For the road they are a cheap upgrade.
  21. I just put it onto a rag and wiped small areas at a time and then used a plastic paint scrapper from Bunnings as well. It did take a while. The ducts come up well and do work even though it feels like it is a bit simple. I only had heat problems when I started racing and was doing more than 8 laps. I saw the entry for No Limits and there is a few Skylines going this week. I may even try one next month or the month after if I sort out my dry sump pump problem. I am planning on doing the December sprint at Barbs with the Speed Event Series. The Speed Event Series was where it started for me. A bunch of good fun people and where you will make life long motor sport friends.
  22. With the sound deadner in the rear we used metho and a scrapper. It is hard work but worth it. The metho slowly disolves it but if you can get some Touelene that would be better. This is coming along. Are you looking at doing the Speed Event Series?
  23. Nice work, I am being checky here, but do you the measurements or template and details for making these door cards? If so are you willing to share? This is perfect for my car.
