But have another R33 for circuit.

DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!

It is the car to prove to some of the Vic crew that given the same nice mods their GTRs have it can be as quick, if not quicker at places like PI ;) Only you need to do it, then be kind enough to let me flog it a few Vic tracks :thumbsup:

I was doing some laps at a practice day at oran park gp a month or so back and Kerry Baily was there with his Z with glenn seton doing the driving. had a good close look at his car and it is very impressive. pretty sure phil ryall built that car.

Yes, Phil did. I built my engine under the watchful eye of Phil and my new 26/30 will also come under the same scrutiny. I start that build late Jan08 - off overseas for 4 months next week with work.

Great to see some shots of the car up for others to see and look farward to Evan :( . Can't wait to see it racing in QLD next year!

yeah thats the shit. the things an animal...

i just wish millen would get rid of the crap paintjob...looks like a dogs breakfast

anyone see the vid where they drove te thing to hungry jacks?

insane amount of work must have gone into that s13 quiet acheiver, good luck looks like there is still plenty of work to do.

awesome work simon..

Yeh if you do..hit me up when you get back ill help you sort it all out. Next year you should hurry up and get a cage and come join us in the JDM class. We really need more cars in it.

Hey Michael,

I'll probably need all the help i can get with the dry sump if i go that route!

Yes, the cage is on the list of things to do. Ultimately, I am keen to enter JDM- would like to get a bit of experience just driving on the track, only driven on a race track 4 times now- still very green and have a lot to learn:blush:

What sort of cage would i need?

Simon, just get a cams manual, pick a design you like and then get one made like that. For QR, im sure any real cage will suffice so long as its not a jap bolt in cage as they have too many bends in the front supports. But a cams approved cage will get you into pretty well any circuit racing.

hi guys

well cage is in and car is painted inside!! and outside is being prepped and painted now, should

be painted tomorrow.

all that in a week and a bit!!

will keep ya updated

cheers russ

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
