Hi All, we are temporarily back in Sydney, managed to get the front on and measured the volume. It's about 32 litres. Not sure how long we're around for until we go back out so i'll just keep working on it until we go. Also front is not as big as I originally thought. 12 inch fit's niceley but 15 inch would be a little big. Only way I thought of putting a 15 in would be to extend the mdf front out further into the boot with a spacer. Then again the idea of this is to save boot space, so 12 inch it is for me. Is starting to look really good. will post some pics up if I get a chance to before I go. I bought some black gelcoat for the reproduction boxes so will look even better.

Cheers

Ben

Pics are up, still need to sand and polish the original so the mold will be nice and smooth. but this gives a good idea of what to expect. the reproductions will have a black gelcoat shell and will figure out the carpeting.

yeh mate, looks insane, being fibreglass...would these be good to be sprayed? or to have material on? i love the sprayed metallic look, but over-all it looks wicked...

how much would you be asking?

Yes mate..looks awesome...PAT ON THE BACK SON...JOB WELL DONE....

But I guess everybody else would be enquiring about the price for this...i'm sure you'll post it soon...

Oh and yeah...was that a 12" sub installed?

Hi All, yes as Adrian has said it is a 12" in the pics. Thanks mate. Still working on a price, won't decide until I see how long the reproductions take to make and carpeting costs etc. The box could be sprayed but as stated it will have a black gelcoat which should improve the look and I will investigate carpeting it when I get back.This may be the last post from me for a while. Catch up with you all when I get back.

i have done exactly the same thing not long a go and it works well, as i wanted a sound system with a 12' sub and amps in the boot but not loose my spare tyre. ill post up some picture tonight and show you want it looks like.

I've seen this done a few times but looks very neat.

If you do sell them I'll be interested in a couple months time when I get around to getting a sub :D

Hi All, managed to get the mold finished this morning. Once again back for a very limited time in Sydney. Just waiting on the ok from SAU to sell these using the forum and a small donation from each box sold will be given back to SAU. As soon as they give me the go ahead I will give a price. Just to give you an idea the price will be well under that of the commercially available equivalent.

Cheers

Ben

    • Hey all,   I’ve got an RB25 with a trigger kit that includes a crank wheel, and I’ve hit a wall trying to sort a timing belt tracking issue. The belt either rides right on the edge of the cam/crank pulleys or walks slightly forward once the engine starts. It tracks okay-ish for a moment, then creeps right to the edge—and honestly, it’s stressing me out.   I’ve spent hours removing and reinstalling the belt, double-checking everything:   Tensioner setup is good, checked multiple times Idler pulley and washers are all in the correct places Followed the RB25 timing procedure step-by-step     The only thing I changed was the rear crank washer—I swapped the OEM one for a Neato version, and it made things worse. The belt now sits even more forward than before. I’m beginning to think the crank trigger wheel itself (from the trigger kit) is the issue—poor design or slightly off dimensions.   What’s strange is that with the previous belt setup, it actually ran fine for a couple of years—around 4,000 to 5,000 miles, even with hard driving and high RPMs. But even then, the belt was always riding right on the edge, and I know that’s not ideal or safe long term.   At this point, I’m debating whether to:   Machine a few mm off the crank trigger wheel to bring it back in line, or Replace it entirely with a better-designed unit     Only thing is, I already have the Cherry Hall sensors, bracket, etc.—I just want to replace the wheel only, not the entire kit. Anyone know a brand or supplier that sells just the crank trigger wheel on its own?   Would really appreciate any feedback—especially from anyone who’s run into this exact issue and found a reliable fix.   Thanks in advance.
    • Hi...a little refresh. Is Nistune gonna be enough to run BoV? Or do i need some proper ECU? 
    • Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too. 
    • Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.
    • Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.
