hi mate

yeah good question, we are hoping for more torque across the range with similar turbos to what we currently use.

rpm limit will be about the same at 8000 or 8200 rpm,and we will have an extra gear too with the six speed sequential.

also this car is being built for a very different type of racing as it will be mainly on circuits and cill climbs, and the 32 was built as an all rounder with alot of ability on motorkhanas and things with a hydraulic handbrake setup and it could just bolt of corners and witches hats. and great gearing especially with a higher rpm limit.

i hope we have good results but wont really know for a few months.

chassis is almost stripped and stand is being made

cheers russ

So Russ are you going to reveal plans for the body work? hehe. or can I?!? It's certainly going to be a one off in Aus that's for sure.

absolutely you can if you like!

it will be great,cant wait to drive it! and help me forgive myself for doing this to such a lovely car and my wife will get off my case too!

Hey, I only just found this thread. Do you remember me? I am the guy with the GTR covered in Falken stickers. I raced at Maryborough & gatton. Are you comming to gatton this year?

I'm not racing this year. The car hasnt changed at all, hardly gets used actually coz I'm starting to build a house etc. I am setting up (suspension & alignment) a 32 GTR for gatton. It is a pretty serious one from what I can gather too, Its got a sequential box & stroker too I think.

I will be there to see how it goes, so I'l come n say gday.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
