They look amazing - something very different.

What sort of note will they make? Do any of the V8Supercar teams run these mufflers? Some of the teams (DJR for one) have a very different note to the others.

I will have to call around and check them out.

Nice! I like the mufflers... How much noise does it dampen? I need to go under 90DB on my car, or I cant get it approved for the track...

You need to hurry up a bit, or I may finish before you... :D

My car is almost finished up welding, only a couple of days left, and its going to my Roll-Cage builder this weekend...

And everything under the car is on its way, so soon its only Electrical, Paint and interior left... :)

im not sure yet as to the DB of the car, but the guy who did the mufflers also has these inserts for the exhaust tip that will take another 4db out if necessary. Under 90db is less than we can run on the street i think.

after another read of the cams rule book i have learned that i will require a transmission scatter shield or blanket, a rain light and some kind of crumle zone packing made of either alluminium or nomex to run between the rear of the car & the fuel tank.

The trans blanket is not an issue as RCI make SFI 14.1 universal blankets. the rain light is also no drama, but this nomex packing has got me stumped, but have been given some leads on it by

Duncan. Also researching rear wings.

to be honest Roy its hard to know which ones are for pretty and which ones actually are functional.

The Voltex units look the go but not sure on price, i think expensive. These APR wings are about $600. But dont know anything about them.

Let me you know how you go with rear wings. I am hoping something i am working on pans out but finding a functional yet attractive wing to suit an R32 is a challenge .

yeh going to leave it for now, have been given some good advice by members in regards to this, ill look into it again later if the car set-up requires it.

hmm i am very dubious of the ricer wings. pretty sure no super cars choose to run wings looking like that.

the wing on John's Z is more like it to me.

this is back on the cards again, should have it by the end of the week, once fitted i should be able to fire her. hope it fits under-bonnet.

have been looking at intake manifolds for a while, the Harrop item was looking like the go

but after some research it was found that it would be difficult to adapt different length ram tubes to it as it was designed to fit in the commodore and this is not an option due to bonnet height etc. harrop was also very difficult to get in contact with as they do not return faxes or email. obviously dont want to sell any.

Came across another Australian made intake, well priced and is designed for interchanging ram tubes. i also know the guy who spins them up so can get a few sets made. once car is back on the ground and engine fitted im hoping to get one of these babies.

That's one nice looking intake!

What is the price, and do they make one that fits L92 heads?

i know harrop do a manifold to suit l92, im not sure if theses guys do.... ill find out.

starting price is $3500

i had actually looked at that one and don mind the look of it, it also looks to be adjustable on both planes but the guys reckon its not much chop. so im not sure....

Just jap make an almost exact copy of the R34 GTR wing...

I would suggest reinforcing the boot as it tends to flex a little bit

meaning that it is more for decoration rather than downforce. If some-one uses this wing on a circuit car and could give some positive feed-back on its perfomance i would be more than happy to use it. but at the moment cant find any-one. It was also commented that the end-plates are not indicative of a circuit style wing.

It is adjustable on both planes :) Dunno what you mean by not much chop though...

looks like you have plenty of positive angle on it. i dare say it would work fine, just want to be sure.

well it has bent my boot a little bit due to the downforce... It wasn't always like that...

But if someone who knows a thing or two says otherwise I would probably listen to them :)

easy big fella, i actually lile that wing... as for stereo ill take your word for it.

Car will definately be finished at electricians this week-end. Also am expecting inlet manifold to show up this week. Have all the components for exhaust and have started making catch cans.

its very close, but still have to tune and then set-up suspension before i run it. Any track days in april or may are lookong good.

don't listen to doof, he just does leb laps around the place with his stereo on 11/10

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
