Well im still considering this option and thought i would bring a new lease of life to the thread...........got the compression problem solved........series 2 vl commodore bottom end, not only do you get the extra capacity its a fairly straight forward swap and brings compression down to 8.9:1. This conversion has been covered extensively in the turbo section of the forum, so anyone interested, its about a 35pg thread. Very interesting, its for a turbo set up, but the core idea could easly be applied to this idea..........

Spot on Warpspeed,

Have you seen the ESC400 @ http://www.boosthead.com/home.php

It looks like an eaton driven by 3 starter motors providing about 18 hp and drawing 1200 amps from a seperate deep discharge battery...interesting....

p.s. I finally have my yt1500A (m90)...this is going to be a very interesting mechanical installation, but it should just fit...and be out of sight as well.

He he, thanks Phantom.

Golly, I never thought anyone would actually do that. But the figures seem about right. I wonder how big the battery is, and how much it weighs? As soon as you say mil-spec on anything it means big $$$$.

I am just in the final stages of completing my third airflow test bench at home. The centrifugal blower generates just over 2psi, at around 480 CFM, and it is driven by a 7.5 BHP three phase electric motor. The motor amps are right up at full rated load as well.......

It's a shame that the ESC400 only runs for a maximum of 15 seconds...

You'd need a nuclear reaction to generate the 1.21 Gigawatts of electricity needed for continual use/time travel....Emmet Brown style :D

My biggest worry is where would you stick the flux capacitor and what would happen if you hit 88Mph down the quater mile?

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
