Tsukuba Race Prep (all Finished, Some Vids & Pics ) !

[Mr. Keets]

the spec's for the car so far rare, (it will be purely timeattack & sprints, with a sports sedan lod book)

hope to have it done by may! (i hope)

(nearly all this stuff i already have waiting for it)

engine 3 ltr.....

Why have you changed from the 2.6 full counter to a 3.0 litre, given the success of the 32?

[Duncan]

because as the v8 boys tell us, ultimately there is no substitute for cubes.

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

[Beer Baron]

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.

[Beer Baron]

Actually I think we need a new thread.

"Mark and Russ's Super R34 Build Up"

[giant]

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!

[datt0man]

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?

[giant]

hey brendan,

yeah mate , hows the car going?

yeah we will be at gatton this year, you? hope the rain stays away that weekend!

[datt0man]

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.

[Roy]

So is a certain date looking good? Limited funds and committments this year mean i need to plan carefully if i am to make one of these

[giant]
