Thought you may be interested in the project I just picked up from QLD.

2 seater Z32 hardtop.

It was an unfinished project which is going to save me a heap of time.

Forged engine with Hi flowed stock turbos, Ported heads, 1mm oversized valves

Full cage.

Twin catch cans

Large PWR radiator and custom air intake.

Motec M800 and AEM CD2 spark amp.

Suspension is Proflex with remote reservoirs in each corner. ROH alloys with Hoosier semi slick all brand new.

I also got 5 full boxes of extra parts, pedal boxes etc etc. I am still trying to figure out what is what.

Need to track down a MOTEC digital dash.

Should be fun. I am hoping to have this finished by Mid 2009.

The chasis is still a bit fat so a course of dieting to rip some more weight out of it is the next step.

Dropped in to catch up with some mates in Sydney on the way back.

t01-100 your fd looks like its coming along very nicely. I've been helping a mate build his fd over the last couple of months, same colour too :)

its waiting on a new turbo from the states atm

Slowly getting mine up ready to get back out to the track, lots of fun. :)

Pretty stoked today :)

Went over to Zoom at Wynum to pick up another gearbox (broke 5th gear) and Troy gave me a 32 GTR rear wing in fibreglass. I bought a genuine one off ebay but forgot how heavy they were... 7kg versus 1.5kg. Small things excite me I guess :)

These teins look pretty good....whats a set of them for r33 gtst's worth these days?

Im thinking time to upgrade from my bilstiens

i bought mine from yahoo auction, i was lucky that they had just been rebuild by tein in japan :ninja:

Tein japan still list them on their website for the r33 gts-t so maybe someone that can write japeneses can shoot them off a pm for you. but im guessing they wont be cheap but they are awesome!

Both cars look great Cameron. Any more details the both of them?

Very neat engine bay in your car by the way, nice job.

Imported the FD around July this year as a race/rally only. stripped the car completly bare straight away, fitted the seat, got the roll cage done, put some ohlins in it with different rate springs, larger rims, took it for a test, got too hot, back to the shed and totally reengineered the cooling system and air flow, made some lexan windows and got it retuned, then went back out testing, cooling system was great, but cracked an apex seal and lunched two rotor housings ( typical rotory :P )

Now has a brand new motor with a bit of porting and extras, converted to a biggish single (still waiting to come from us of a) should be up and running and backout there soon.

My car is still a street car and registered, has most of the interior still in it etc, stripped it out a little, fixed back seat, harness etc, don't really want to make it into a dedicated track car. just a weekend/sprints fun car :yes:

cheers Michael!

If worst case....cant get those...whats the next best?

Cheers!

new about $5K+ for the RS, maybe $3500 for the RA. second hand under $3K for the RS and a bit cheaper for the RA. but second hand can be a lottery. everyone will always say they are in tip top shape, but it's not always the case. best bet is if buying second hand from an unknown then budget for a rebuild, or at least get them on a shock dyno to be checked and set-up.

I saw that Zed for sale and have to say i was often thinking it seemed to be a really good buy. Its a rude question and you dont have to answer, but how close to asking price did you get it for?

There was a fair bit of tooing and froing as i didnt want some of the gear. So the brakes came off, drivers seat wouldnt fit my ass in it so it came out as well.

It had side mount Inter Coolers but would have preferred a FMIC, so they came out. After looking at the fabrication he had already done i am gonna get the SMIC's to make my life easier.

So basically it was a bit cheaper but not much.

Good old rotors!

Sounds nice mate. Keep us updated when it hits the track again

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
