carbon boot

carbon bonnet

full wide body aero front bar, side skirts and wing (in carbon)

hopefully carbon dash

custome made wheels

custom radiator oil cooler system

thats it for now!

hope it all comes off! but will be posting pics with progress

well here's some pics of the r34 last week and i will post up some pics of the car tomorrow night, should be nearly just a shell, not bad for a day and a halfs work,

then we need to make a chassis frame so we can rotate it and also use it to ship to sydney to get the shell acid dipped.

yes it's a really nice car,

bloody dirty under neath though!! friggin road cars, who'd work on em! lol

i promise you it will be reborn!! this thing is going to be something special, you should see the gear for it!!

didnt get the car finished(stripped) should have it ready to take to work and take the subframes & glass out tuesday,

there some really cool engineering changes from the r32 to this, great to pull it apart and see all the differences.

mind you i have never worked on an unmodified r33 so big differences for me.

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

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

Ok the new body work will look like this:

we have:

it all starts with this guy.

compph05kx0.jpg

he makes this bumper:

34banperfa3.jpg

with these carbon carnards:

34canardwu5.jpg

Put this diffuser underneath:

Then add wide guards front and rear (in Carbon) and matching side skirts from Sun Line.

front guards:

Side Skirts:

Rear Guards:

Overall picture this. but instead of a C-west bumper, put the kagotani one on there.

Then garnish with some craft square carbon mirrors.

ph011003kr5.jpg

and a C-West GT wing

gtwing2r2c1wq8.jpg

I can't wait to see it all together. It's going to be something else!

It's going to be a cool looking car. and it's the first in aus to have the sun-line wide body, and the first to have the kagotani bar and diffuser.

forgot one part. this for the wing:

flap2tz0.jpg

It's nothing without the flap!

D'oh! I didn't know that. I think their one may be FRP though? They said this was the first Carbon SL-R wide body to be exported to Aus (though perhaps they didn't know where the GT Auto one was heading when it was made/sold).

hey will be the aussie rb 30 but with an amazing crank girdle setup which ties to the block also,

only one colour for the car for me, BLACK with a nice set of dark wheels, AME wheels made by Enkei (custom made). but will have some good graphics to brighten it up(hopefully)

4wd will remain in the car.

the boot, boonet and doors are dry carbon off the Tomei drag car.

rear hub mod does away with the hicas lock bar altogether( not required)

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
