Not sure if you're still interested, but have a Vertex fiberglass bar off our track car here if you want it, has 2 minor chips in it, and paint is cracking so will need a respray. Also located in brisbane, shoot me a PM for more info.

Easter weekend update - Finishing off, nearly there!! Got more updates, have a few more to come but the camera went flat plus whatever gets done tommorow. (The widebody guards needed flares on the inside otherwise they would be completely pointless, so got cracking on those) (Painted them up to look nice, only to lay fiberglass over the top straight after, don't look pretty but you can't see them anyway) (Added 20mm+5mm spacers, fitment looks better now but the front still needs work.) As of now, the widebody is finished as far as guards go, bonnet, sideskirts and rear undertray are left (The carbon one won't fit, so we gave it back to uncle, and we'll make our own) (Resistor pack is wired in) (Car is ready to start, friday night we bought fuel, began to prime pumps which we found out do not work! Saturday morning, we pull one apart, to find the pump was seized (They had been sitting for a year or two) everything works electronically, and should have pumps ASAP) AAAAAAAAANNNNDDDDDDDDDDD.................. I spent far too long saturday night, mounting the oil pressure gauge and making it light up Gotta work on my soldering.... Thanks to uncle Anthony and Dean for their help on friday! More updates should come tommorow!

Loving this build, especially all the goodies that came with the motor, I'm extremely keen to see updates on this!

Cheers, ill let dad know

Finally looking like a car again Starting to look like a car again, we began assembling the front end. Only did half an hour's worth of work which got the front guards and bonnet on. (Bonnet hinges have also been modified, can't get the bonnet all the way back on the windscreen as hoped, but you can still get a broom in there so we dont hit our heads? You can also see the wiring mess up the back there, still haven't sorted out the resistor pack ) (So far, bonnet fits without touching anything, with the exception of air filters, gotta sort this out... ) (One guard sits way to close to the bonnet) (One guard sits too far out, hopefully we'll align the bonnet properly tommorow, and this issue will be sorted.) (Wheel sits well inside the guard, even with a spacer and still have camber to come.) More updates to come!

Rivets because race car! Help will be good, hopefully the car will be ready for tuning rather soon. Curious to know how your car is going aswel? EDIT: Oh btw, i hope you didnt mean it was dean in that photo! that's dad

Ass-end Apologies, for the double post trying to seperate different updates and not losing work (I lost my whole post last time). I guess ill just throw some pics in, the whole kit will be complete before tune, just so the car is complete and ready to go after tuning (Paint pending. ) (Wider wheels will come later, Size will also be dependant on what tyre we decide to use, high likely they will be slicks.) More work to come this week! Edit; Sorry guys, just thought i'd mention the guards are only held on using tek-screws for the moment, the guards will come off once the whole body is lined up, to cut out some of the inner guards and a few bits and pieces, then attach with rivets.

Updates!! Engine 98% ready (Trying a neater format here) Engine is nearly ready to fire, Intercooler piping is all done, 2.5inch on the turbo side, using pipe from the RB20, Wheel is very close to the downward elbow on fulll lock. 3 inch on the Drivers side, to match the intake and because we needed all new pipe for this side anyway. Bought clamps and more silicon hose to suit. Also Fitted Y-pipe, for the air flow meters, looks a bit ugly but it'll do the job... All that is left to fire the engine is the resistor pack for the injectors, pulled apart the whole wiring loom trying to figure out where the feed for them is, to find an extra plug down where the power steering resovoir is, with 3 other wires, 1 of which is from the throttle position sensor not sure why? Currently figuring out what we are missing and what requires to be done. (90% of where we are at the moment, haven't got a pic yet, but you get the idea, intercooler piping is done ofcourse.) (Very close!!!) (Ugly, but it works, Filter fitmentt is a little better after shortening, Also need a 4 inch AFM adapter...) Also hooked up all vacuum lines, Oil pressure gauge with hardline and a few other bits and pieces. Widebody updates in the next post...

I want a ride! Can't wait to see this done.

Any idea on KV/Turn rating?

Suuuuure will! im eagerly awaiting the second part. From what i've heard they are far more through the build than documented.

For those that haven't heard, Eric Hsu is building an R32 GTR with something a bit out of the norm under the hood... http://www.motoiq.com/magazine_articles/id/2396/team-america-world-time-attack--ark-designs-bnr32-skyline-gt-r-intro-part-1.aspx

104ks is CRAZY! Assuming it was running in modified, what running gear did it have?

I'll tell dad that

Turns out i was wrong and we have both Only update, we got some Gaskets from 999 Automotive, for the Dump pipe and the power steering pump doesnt line up with the harmonic balancer. Should get a little bit of work done this weekend, and we go on holidays the weekend after. After that, full steam ahead

Ill input too, I have an Assosciated TC6, 9t EZRUN, Savox 1258, aaaaanndddd HPI Blitz ESE, Trenchers, Castle SV2 4600kv, and a high torque servo. Both cars powered by a Spektrum DX3s, and Gens ace li-pos.

Double post.

While we're on topic of RC cars, Driftcity.org is probably the biggest site and club in Australia for RC drifting, but the club revolves around Brisbane and Goldcoast mainly although all are welcome Here's my toy - TC6 FT (Carbon chassis), 180SX Type X shell, still a work in progress.

I'd say it will happen eventually, but it's all time and $$$. We only have ever had issues once with heat on the RB20, and we think it may have been the detonation it was destroyed with. We'll just have to see how we go

More updates! Engine is in, Nearly finished hooking up the loom (I hope!!) This month is rather busy, so the car may not get as much love. We will the thread whenever we can though

Aaagghh i want it to be orange. People might start mixing you up with dwane! Orange cars are always the fastest. (Not my photo) People have seen him on ONE wheel just after the bridge at lakeside. He is definently quick.

Engine should be in, kit will be on shortly after motor goes in. Hopefully the motor will go in this week/next week, it is 98% ready to go in.

Any chance of getting this somewhere in hi-res?

Its funny how they all start that way

Funny finding this here, i drift with driftcity myself. You dont come to the cannon hill meetings or championship do you?
