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.

Only with a good steerer - Stu only knows how to go straight and then turn around for another go.

Duncan, you should put your hand up!

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.

Hey Stu, No one entered the V8 class so it doesnt seem to matter how fast you can or cannot drive. The Jeep was in the carpark at the last event and should have entered it in both clubman and open class.

lol no that is John Boston's job :thumbsup:

Stu I'm no expert in those motors, but how do they keep the compression in with no head?

Looks like one of those dinosaurs I have to race against where they complain about not being able to change the "cam"! once the motor is in

fair go jase, it was about 5 years before i even saw what was at the end of the track, ive only done a dozen passess. lots of laps of kembla though, so very inexperienced to say the least.

Only with a good steerer - Stu only knows how to go straight and then turn around for another go.

Thanks guys, was very helpfull. And yes duncan, i have a slight leak-down issue at the moment but i hope to have it rectified shortly.

Hey John, are 300ZX rear brakes the same as R33 GTS-T rear brakes?

Yep all same callipers, pads, rotors. R33 has cast iron knuckle or hub and zed are alloy like GTR.

My roster is Grand Turismo 6 days a week and some Sundays.

When we get around to putting the VQ38 in the slot car it will fall over 500rwkw and alloy block and lighter component motor alone will be about 100KG lighter. Plus carbon Targa roofs nearly done, carbon tail gate and Perspex windows and lighten passenger door it should be a bit over 1100kg, throw in the PPG dog box still scaping money to pay for it. Throw in big aero, what do you say Bozman will be in the top 5 at least?

PS Sydney kid sent my softer rear springs yesterday, which will also help.

Should run 9's on radials then, Johnnie!

its all fresh, and has been clearanced, standard stroke 5.7 ls1. 11:1 comp, the asuall stuff. Running a really agressive roller camshaft, longer rocker arms and rocker gear to suit. thats it. they are really very simple. My tuner is confident of mid 350kw @ the wheels and 550-600nm torque. running the tremec with Jim Berry ceramic clutch and 4.3:1 GTR diff.

You would be open, yeah. But within the V8 sub-class.

What are the specs on the LS1 you've got in there?

Far out John you must be a gold lotto winner or the most dedicated track junki around as i recall some talk about you not getting paid to drive cars for a living :( . Dont take it the wrong way as i am by no means having a dig at you but that is a lot of track time and would make it hard for even the most dedicated weekend warrior to get in as much practice as you get you lucky bugger . You sure have the schedual most of us can only dream of though. What else can i say but i am jealious :D

I didt realise you were building a Chev powered R32. Very cool! I have often dreamed about such a creation, the only other engine i would consider instead of a chev would be a 20B, but Chev would be better long term prospect/

Cant wait to see the finished result!

    • Quick update, finally got an hour or two on a weekend where there wasn't shit weather, no sick kids, people visiting our house or had to work. Visited me old folks and the skyline...dropped  $10 of 98 in the tank and a brand new SCA shitter battery in. Cranked over a bunch of times but didn't fire up....pretty sure it's not getting any fuel. Gonna try some of the stuff suggested above, next time I make it over there. 
    • @GTSBoyas luck would have it and it's legit the only part of this story that goes my way, I already had the liner out to retrim! So much lucky!
    • Drill out the subframe bushes, replace them, same with the diff bushes.
    • Sane enough. Remove the roof liner, because the acid will go everywhere.
    • Thanks guys, I really appreciate the help and experienced opinions.  I have spent a lot of my life working on boats so I'm pretty good with fibreglass. I'll take everybody's advice in here;  I'll cut a little more of the 2nd layer away as it's a bit crunchy rust and also it's sitting high now. Then I'll wire brush it all a bit to get off anything loose, then I'll soak the bejesus out of it all in rust converter. I'll make sure to get a little hose piece and feed it into all the holes and gaps between the roof layers. Then I'll fibreglass up the holes.  Then I'll get a pallet of filler and mix it with 3 buckets of hardener and hope that is enough to build up the roof corner.  Does that sound sane? Is one type of filler better than others for this?
