Mark And Duncans R32 Build

[phunky_monkey]

You can get braided clutch lines from Maltech here in Vic.

Apparently they improve pedal feel on heavy duty clutches. I'm chucking one in my car while it's apart.

[Duncan]

yeah the pic I posted above shows the maltec braided clutch line, I got mine from UAS who have them in stock. couple of reasons for this car:

* it removes that ridiculous clutch damper system and replaces it with a direct line

* increased clearance to the fuel rail when motor is going in and out because the line comes out at 90o and goes straight down due to the banjo fitting

* removes the short factory line which I think is suspect after 18 years.

If you are running the sump extention, then you cannot run the sump baffle, and it would be pointless anyway. The sump extention comes with it's own round baffle, which is a cylinder with holes in it, which reaches down to the bottom of the extention. It welds on to the standard sump trays. It also comes with and extended pickup. The sump baffle kit would sit above the sump extention with the oil below it, making it pointless and it would foul on the baffle that comes with the sump extention kit.

I made up some turbo water feed lines from speedflow connections and braided hose for about 80$. This was only 1/3 of the overall lines that Angus has.

You cannot run the TRUST one....but who mentioned TRUST?....not me...not Andrew...i thought he just meant extending the sump. I had an extended sump which i sold to a customer in the ACT which was extended below the Tomei baffle and had an extended pick-up...worked very well.

Well i was thinking of modifiying the sump around the tomei baffle style. so i could have a bit of an extension and use the trap doors tomei have given me, or maybe i can sell the baffle and go the hi octane one..

possibly do the rb sump similar to the wing style like the aftermarket sr20 ones

Yes it is possible to still run the Tomei baffle with a sump extension.

Why would you want a 6 inch blond when there are so many nicer 6 foot ones?

as for the 6' blond, your right a 6' foot size 6-8 anything would be ok also! haha

For simplicity id go the Hi Octane one...sell the Tomei baffle kit to someone with a streeter.The sump i had was already modified in Japan complete with baffle kit and had a box the same as the internal diameter of the tomei kit that extended down about 3 inches below the baffle from memory. It works well but the Performance Metalcraft/Hi Octane item is a better option and the one i went with. It will hold more oil too.

Wow its been awhile since I looked in here! Ive missed out on heaps, good to see its all coming along guys!

Can't wait to see it in action!

[benm]

The clutch pedal in my white gtr was abit hit n miss with the factory clutch line, fitted a maltec braided line, removed that extension bit that runs beside the gearbox, fitted a new slave, went to wsid and the clutch felt soooo much more solid that on the second run my flywheel parted company

I've been running my Pauter rods now for 5 years and 2 engine failures/rebuilds. Now partnered with a HKS stroker crank and shortened HKS coated pistons. They are almost indestructable.

haha thanks Ben I saw that thread....but the price is more than the rest of this car we're on this path for now, if we do ever give up I can't image anything except a chinese cooler going on

I have/had a chinese cooler and cant fault it.

Finally got my dry sump belts today which was the only thing stopping mine from being finished.

Then onto the next one.

what are u guys doing with the g sensor thats usually under the console? can u move it or wont it work correctly anymore? im thinking of throwing mine under the dash area to get it out the way (obviously mount it level and straight as it is now), do u think this would cause any issues?

[haw001]

Don't think it's a good idea to move it. I'm sure it will still work, but it will work best when located in the most central part of the wheelbase. I suspect it should actually be moved backwards a bit.

gee this thread is quiet atm
