absolutely sure!! (ahh correction s2000 engine ) :D

also still give a thousand bucks if you fit the engine above to a gtr and it goes out a the circuit and beats and RB powered gtr , becuase it would be well worth seeing!!!!!!!!

Well Stephan Papadakis is no longer driving the 6 second Civic so ...

Trade the R32 GT-R for the AEM Civic ...

Transplant engine into R35 ...

VOILA !

:P

Hi Peddler this no doubt going to be a contender. As long as it gets the power down, as it will need some flared guards and decent rubber and suspension and brakes etc, and you know.

Dont worry John, thats why things are taking a little longer than expected becuase we want to make sure that it turns and stops the way we want it to as well as importantly put the power down

DAMN YOU LIGHT WEIGHT SONS OF BIT#$ES!! Damn you to hell :P

Actually will be really cool to see some of these cars in action!! can't wait

hehe I remember someone saying that to me a few years ago when i told them of this project.

On the flip side i wonder how the lotus would go with RB power?

Would the extra weight of the iron block rb be too much for the lightweight to carry.

The engines run east-west in the Exige ...

And you probably should stop giving those boys anymore bad ideas ... they are already quick enough as it is :P

Hey Russ just get that R34 down to around the 11-1200kg mark and shouldnt be a drama knocking of those pesky lightweights as we all know deep down (even Jamie) RB power without the weight handycap will rule supreme.

Why would you put such a heavy PoS in a Lotus? I've thought of putting a worked fwd SR20 in an Elise but I don't know if it would be better than a Honda K20A.

What about an Elise with a Viper V10:

don't worry mate, my car won't be troubling you front runners at all! just doesn't have the development in suspension and steering to really cut it. and 230rwkw probably isn't quite enough for about 900kg of car either. nor is the 4 turns lock to lock steering really up to those 230rwkw in such a short wheelbase with leaf springs trying to put that power down!

Superlap at Oran Park really got me motivated about this car again. Its just been sitting around un-used since the Australian Hillclimb Championships last november until now.

Thats awsome Harry... get rid of that Supra and put your time into the 1200!!!

1 out of 2 aint bad i guess. The rb may be heavy but a pos it most certainly isnt.That such high horsepower can be extracted reasonably reliably from as little as 2 and a half litres is quite stunning really.

Now Lotus on the other hand needs their arse rheaming for using such a slow pos engine in the first place.

I'm just saying all this because I've converted to the dark side Daz :P

And it's to get over the psychological trauma incurred when I sold the Land barge :D

PS. Tell Annie to pull her finger out and get back on track :action-smiley-069:

Hey Russ you are famous again, check this link and website about Superlap. Lots about the R35 GTR, and this is a zed owner and Z fans web site.

I LOVE 1200 Coupes!

And only because I am wierd, i have often considered how long a 20B and weight of a 20B vs a Nissan 4? A 20B with relatively small GT series turbo would be a torquey and capable engine in a little coupe :)

Its not wierd, I fantasise about that sort of stuff too, regularly, a 20B 1200 coupe would be awesome Troy, however they do pretty fine with the 'small block' 13B in them as well :rofl:

Good to know there is a few 1200 coupe fans here, unfortunately mine is only built for straight lines!!

hey guys, what is considered to be a good power to weight ratio? i am looking at the 900-1000kg and 350kw, i know that handling plays the larger part but is this in the ballpark?

If you can put together a 900kg car with double wishbones all around you will have a very strong potential. both the front running gtrs would be 300+kg heavier.

And if you mean 350rwkw then potential will put it in the top 5 of this field I think.

shit, just need someone who can drive lol.

this is my light weight powerplant. hopefully can provide the goods. i know its missing a few cams, but its got a few extra cylinders.

    • Maybe it's time for a M3 F80 LCI, and leave it stock.  Drive it to a shop, sip on your latte with nutmeg whilst it gets serviced and on the way home swing by and grab some chai mix for the evening.
    • Great work! Thanks for documenting the process.
    • How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.
    • yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.
