to be honest ben , i dont know

the chassis will be sandblasted to remove all body deadner and seam sealer and then heated before doing seam welding to get most of the under seam sealer out,

i would guess we will probably remove 20 odd kilo of body deadner and i think the shell weight is around the 300/350 kilo mark currently, we havent weighed it yet.

there is a few areas we were concerned about in regards to acid dipping without intimate knowledge of the process eg r34 has dual skined firewalls, removing all the acid out of places like that may be a bit of a nightmare, secondly i have a sandblast booth available to me so that is the easiest & an effective method for us.

must be a bloody big sand blasting cabinet you have russ! I always feel like homer simpson at the nuclear power plant when using the dicky little cabinet we have. plus the gloves have holes which is not so nice. I want to come play with your toys.

i will ask mark , he quotes but bloody cheap for you

we wouldnt blast the large outside flat panel areas, as they stretch, but all the floor inside and out wheel arches, engine bay, boot etc would all get done

just playing around at paul's timeattack day in a motorkhana he setup, this was my second run, not reving at all just learning the course, the next run was with some revs! :nyaanyaa: good fun tho

Nice use of the 4WD!!

They don't pull out of the turns quite the same without it!

Awsome build BTW.

dry sump system is being sorted out.

I'm all eyes and ears when its comes to this. please take 10 million photos of this :nyaanyaa:

i'm considering doing one as i'm between rebuilds and really want a dry sump rather than the aftermarket jap stuff. + i see it pretty much similar in prices compared to the way you need to go with jap pump, sump etc etc etc

:blush:

ahhh so your gunna turn corners!! awsome that will be great to see on track mate! cant wait

i think the superlap date is just about finalized!

Oh good! Is the track chosen aswel? ;)

Your sandblasting shed is huge!

hey roy

we only use 30/60 garnet, as it is to hard for us to change media as there is more than 8 ton in the hopper all the time!

yeah it's a bloody big unit, over seventy foot long & twenty feet high! ;)

    • Update 2: Today I'm f**king pissed. Some of you probably saw my thread that I opened shortly after joining this forum, "urgently need expert/experienced opinion", in which I discussed the possibility of a porous RB26 engine block which I also found hard to believe. Currently both turbos are out since the shitty braided line that was installed by whoever fitted the GT28 turbos leaked oil onto the exhaust. Today while working on the cam covers to put new gaskets and half moons in, I cleaned the side of the engine block with brake cleaner. Some time later I saw that it was still glistening with oil or coolant so I dried that off. But it was wet again shortly after. Verdict: I'm royally screwed. What you can see here (hopefully, despite shit resolution), circled in red, is a crack above the turbo oil feed. Extent is a few cm long and basically goes from #3 cylinder wall to #4 cylinder wall. It slowly lets coolant through, even without any pressure behind it. I am absolutely dumbfounded as to how this crack even formed, especially since it isn't along the cylinder as it usually is but rather a horizontal crack. Probably a few cm in length. Not sure on how to deal with this issue right now. Most likely, the only true fix is a new engine block, and even a relatively well done temporary fix requires at least a full engine teardown. Neither of those really fit my timetable right now, the car has been in my buddy's garage long enough as it is. I'm open to suggestions, but I'll be looking into ordering a new 05U block soon so I have one ready for the coming year, or whenever the current block inevitably fails fully. (Most likely once the crack reaches one of the frost plugs) I think it'd be a waste of money and time to rebuild the engine with this block. Oh and I found a rust hole on the side pocket of the trunk, which someone covered up with sealant goop, a piece of number plate and bodywork filler. Fun times. So far for every issue we fix we just find a new one that is arguably worse.
    • I have not found this no. I put one back on a couple days ago with no drama. I agree they are tight, but no need to remove anything. 
    • That is gates blue racing belt
    • Anyone found gates blue racing to be extremely tight/ almost impossible to install without moving the exhaust gear
