good luck guys and have fun. Ill send some updates and expect some in return from Melbourne.

thanks for the nice words guys!! i hope it can put on a good show, of course along with everyone else!

i can wait to see it tearing the track up after all the work that has gone into it but as you know you cant garuantee anything when it comes to racing.

the first test went well, still have plenty more to work through but the bassis is there and we have a nice big list of things to do and if we get a quarter of those done before superlap i will be happy!! :P

i'm sorry to the guys that would like to see the car stay black (as so would i ) but there will be decals on it as we couldnt do it with out some help but hopefully should look good anyway.

we have tried to do everything we have learned and some new things from some people smarter than us , so we will see if it pays off.

cheers see you guys next week

fap fap fap fap..... say no more!!!

That is a pure piece of master craftsmanship worth of every blood sweat n tear resulted in its production...

Congrats fellas you truly have created a piece of fine fine fine machinery!!

most of it is. it's just been painted...

bonnet carbon

bumper and carnards carbon

front undertray FRP

front guards carbon

side skirts carbon

rear quarters carbon

rear pods carbon

boot lid carbon

wing carbon

doors carbon

the only real body work on the car that's not carbon as far as I can say off the top of my head is the roof. and come to think of it the bumper may be FRP too for strength and some durability. most of the interior is carbon too and the windows lexan. and all the carbon gear is the real deal. most of it was made in japan by composite experts, designed and built properly with all the right gear (autoclaved, vacuum bags etc). no half measures. :banana:

this thing needs chrome decals in nice fonts.... like the knight sports cars.. when will aussie workshops get cool logos and workshop names.... spose ill consider red r racing as a cool logo.

Here's some wallpaper resolutions:

HOLY F-ING SH!T!!!!!

When i first saw the picture of this i was like "mmm...looks ok...not sure tho" (baring in mind my mate sent me the pic on my phone so it was tiny)

Seeing this picture just scared the crap out of me!!! That's the devils car! It looks so evil...it looks like it will decimate everything on the track.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
