Just read your build thread. Nice write up man, way to keep the suspense. Its refreshing to see people giving to original Godzilla the attention they well deserve

Haha, touche'

Lol yeah P.A.R then? http://www.par-engineering.com/

Yes it is, and this is the best car club in Australia to be associated with It'll either be an S chassis (coz I like to stick with what I know 'SR20') or I've always loved the thought of an R chassis with a LS1 or similar.

So because my pinion shaft snapped, PAR are going to make me another crown wheel and pinion. They asked me if i would like to have a different ratio or am i happy with my current one? Stock ratio is 4.176 My previous ratio was 4.43:1 This ratio will be 4.83:1 Should be a bit quicker then

Photo's of snapped pinion:

Lol sideways is the next project. Not with this car though. Probably an S chassis.

For everyone asking, the video finally uploaded: Keep in mind i did a 1:16.075 on one of those laps, i'm not really sure which one, they all look slow to me now.

Oh and did i mention they will cover it even though it was used on the track?

So, i've got some news about my gearbox. Turns out the pinion shaft snapped clean in half. This was a PAR item. I rang PAR today and they will warrant the pinion even though i have owned it for 18 months! They are a great company to deal with I havent had a chance to upload that video, it will get posted up as soon as its up.

I've just been watching the video of my quickest session, i reckon the car has got an easy 1.15 in it. I only had one run where there wasn't traffic in front of me and the best start to one of my runs i had an M3 up my arse, so i let him pass. Lol what an idiot! Anyways... I have another gearbox which i fitted up on Sunday. I remember what a pain in the arse job it is now lol. Thanks Steve for keeping that gearbox spare though. And thanks beenowened for giving me a hand with it. I dropped my gearbox off to my gearbox specialist this afternoon and i'll know whats wrong with it at some stage this week I'll upload the video of Wakefield and let you guys be the judge about my time. My best time of the session was a 1:16.075. I don't even know which lap i did it on.. They all look slow to me.

Thanks for the positive imput too guys. I try to get as much as the bank account lets me get done

I have a feeling it will be a selector fork or something similar. There wasn't any metal that came out of the box when I drained the oil out. I will find out this week though

Thanks for your help today man

lol I'd love to Josh. Other gearbox is in... Its completely standard, no LSD, standard ratio which seems really long when you rev it to 8500rpm

So I just thought i'd update this with my new PB at Wakefield 1:16.075. Thats the good part... The bad part is i blew my box up in the next session and can only select 1st, 2nd and reverse now. Luckily i did an engine conversion for a bloke a while ago and he had a spare box sitting there That will be going in tomorrow.

And its finished! After i cut the hole in my airbox. Its a little bit rough.. I got sick of working with bog lol. But function > form for track days huh?

Another small update, I have started making a headlight intake. I've taken a few pictures: So I've started a new project recently, hopefully it'll be done in time for the track day: I started with a cracked headlight, removed the glass from it and cut out a 4" hole in the back of it. I centered this hole to be in line with my airbox. I used expandable foam to fill the headlight so i could fibreglass over the top of it. Once the foam had set I cut the excess off the top of the face using a hacksaw blade, i also pushed a large screw driver through the hole and then started cutting away at the foam until it ended up looking like this: I started fibreglassing it this morning, so this is a current photo of it: Will keep updating with pictures. I plan on doing 2 more layers of glass, sanding in between each layer then i'm going to use some body filler to smooth it all out. I've never fibreglassed before, so i'm just having a bit of a go lol.

Haha a lot of $ with not much gain, I'd be looking at about $5 - 6k to do the ITB's. Well to do it properly anyways. Since the VE's use a MAF I'd be looking at full aftermarket. So straight away there is 2K for computer + tune. Then the ITB's range from $$2500 - $5000, depending on setup. A better way to make power with the VE's is more compression. Around 12.5:1 is still good for the street Though still being a dailey makes it hard to strip the motor down. Lol.

Haha thanks fellers. Josh: In regards to carpet, you gotta risk it to get the biscuit Nah I'm not really sure. I had to strip it out to get the seat rail sorted..

That looks unreal too

That was the plan this weekend Jack

Well the Pulsar went on a diet this weekend Floormats are still in for shits and giggles

Thanks everyone for the offers, i've got some now. Thanks for looking and trying to help. Tim.

Thanks guys, This car will never be a dyno queen, but i'm slowly building it to be a good all rounder. Thanks for looking Ryan, yeah it was really bad with the lowered springs. That was my reason at first to buy coilovers. Its still a firm ride, but i'd prefer it to handle than to be driving a lounge chair
