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

lovely head work! larger valves & inserts etc

hi lift cams around the 280 mark

dry sump

hypertune manifold

not sure turbo setup yet but external gates

electronics

autronic ecu

cdi ignition

motec dash

tranny 6 speed sequential holinger

carbon shaft

cusco diffs

suspension ohlins

full ikeya formula arms

stub axle mods

brakes

pedal box

bias adjuster

alcon monobloc v8 supercar brakes front and rear 365/345

fully caged and seam welded body

single seat

carbon doors

lexan glass

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:

with these carbon carnards:

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)

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
