Making a template for the alloy boot false floor:

Finished floor

what sort of bracing is required to keep the rigidity when doing this?? is it riveted or glued in??

cheers

Linton

Well,

I didnt build it......just bought it!

Its just been engineered here in nsw (waiting for paper work) and is also a cams log booked car too.

LOL @ mardi gras!!!!

It's a 94 clubman.

Motor is standard 1.8l, even standard exhaust and intake!!

Brakes are standard too, just has hawk pads, braided lines, master cylinder brace

Suspension has tein flex, whiteline front sway bar

6pt cage, sparco drivers seat, daytona passenger seat

Weighs just over 1000kg!

Racing it on Sunday at op gp!

Prev owner did a 1.27.3 on gp already!!

My plans,

Full exhaust, intake, rx7 calipers and that's it!!

I think it's going to be a great car to learn how to race properly in!! Can't wait!!!

Hey dude, nice to meet you yesterday at Greg's.

I made it home safe. :banana: . Road car next to the track car.

Jay! Yeah but most likely next year? Will see how it goes! Although maybe see towards end of year?

Michael!!! Wow small world!!!! Glad to see you made it home safely mate!!! Garage looks great!!!

excellent choice chris. I looked at these pretty closely before deciding I needed to own only nissans.

You have plenty of options to race it too, a busy mx5 club, track days and production sports cars.

BTW It will go much quicker than 1.27 at OP on good tyres....you'll have good fun in it.

putting together a little evo 3 further to the rx7 at the moment, its a gsr not an rs hence the sound deadener

always wanted one of these classic shape evos since driving a mates around baskerville about ten years ago

need to finish it off for a mate to borrow to use at targa tasmania this year so its all systems go and should get it back from the cage fabricator in a week or so

using it to showcase some of benson motorsports specialst tarmac rally products soon to be launched and up until last weekend it was a bog stock road car

who's doing the cage stu?

We're pulling off the doors, and stripping the interior out of the new R33 this weekend ready to put the cage in next weekend. The Brakes and rear hubs should get here early next week.

Ay???

Dad got a 2nd car to fix the Targa car, but he ended up getting cheap parts. So we're doing the 2nd car up as a twin to sell. The white car got a Fresh N1 engine, and the old N1 engine is being refeshed and put in the 2nd car.

darren elphinstone from up near burnie is doing it for me.

if you need a bonnet, skirts, boot, wing, gt2860r-7 turbos (top condition) or another N1 engine (low k, being refreshened right now) have got it all in stock!!

You've just given yourself a very steep learning curve, but i think you'll end up a better driver for it. Ignoring my old braking points was (and still is) the hardest for me.

You missed 2 very important things in your list of bits. It has a nardi and work emotions. You already have drift cred :D

hahahah yes forgot about them! But I thought the nardi was standard on the clubmans?

Had it at OP GP today and did a 1.30.4 - 2 seconds slower than my r33...and 1st in class!

So Im happy, as my goal for first time out there was a 1.30!

There is alot to learn!

Braking points is the first....as you said! haha

I just cant believe the corner speed it has! Cant wait to get some more time in it and use the corner speed to go faster!

It is going to be a big learning curve, but thats what I want! get the lines and corners and braking points sorted, then go faster!

All in all, t'was a fun day of racing!

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • 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.
