YAY!!!It's Finally here!! :/ Well Done :blink:

Go Ben!

Yup took 5mths longer than it should have because of the dollar crashing which caused a lot of headaches, long story short is instead of importing a brand new kit in pieces from usa (where they are made) i've bought there shop/demo car which is 100% turn key ready to race (well, if I could fit my fat ass into there sparco seat lol). Another bloke in Perth bought the other shop/demo car and that is all that is in the country and its likely to stay that way for awhile unless you want to spend $40k to buy 1.

Because of that its got the same engine used in the actual Aussie Racing Cars which is a 1200cc 125hp 5sp Yamaha motorbike engine. Yup a lot less power than the Hayabusa engine ive had sitting in the garage for the past 4mths but atleast this car is ready to go and if I need more power I can always do an engine swap next year after i've learnt how to steer it.

It weighs approx 540kg so it's not super light like a Radical or the Aussie Race Cars but its no 1500kg gtr, has a 1 piece fibreglass shell with removable engine/boot covers. Entry is via the hatch on the roof (like the american nascars have) has a normal pedal box, adjustable bias, autometer gauges, VL Turbo front calipers, VZ rear calipers with rotors from a Mustang, EBC pads and a fuel cell in the rear.

    • Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.    
    • In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
    • planning a r34 rb25 de+t with some other work, rather just have it done in a shop due to space limitations any recommendations? I have most the parts already I seen online Moore Performance and DR Drift any advice appreciated thanks 
    • I’ve read the previous posts so just looking for latest information on how people have dealt with front facing plenum is it a defect etc or didn’t pass roadworthy or was it not noticed? Have a r34 and deciding if I should make a hole on the driver side or not.  I know some people have said blitz return flow but I might get rid of the stock intake down the line for a plenum so I rather set up for that now plus I already have a standard Intercooler. Car is mainly stock  Thanks. 
    • Actually, if having and keeping the stock ECU is the plan, the correct answer is to put Nistune into the ECU and improve the situation, not just look at it.
