Andrew - Need to rebalance it, need to make up billet adaptor plates, need to measure the OD and make sure it's built to spec... <sigh> I'll get to that dumb shaft later. I'm going to concentrate on other stuff for now.

How's your build going then? When will it be ready? Should be awesome to have two identical cars running around the track :wacko:

Yeah i'm hearing you! i was well over it when the shit hit the fan the first time!

Its going along ok at the moment, slow and i ran into some Cam problems mainly with delivery and a supplier that just kept sending out the wrong crap time after time.. the cams are going back today and a refund in order, and time to stuff around with someone else..

Bottom end had been started on just basic cleaning etc, lots of work is going on with the motor now. i've decided if it was taking a long time to have it ready i may aswell extend the time and get some head work done. 270degree cams with 10.8mm lift :) porting and all the rest, i guess turbos will be the next thing holding me back!

cant wait to hear how the exhaust sounds!! i've bought the full race version with no meow, and full titanium front pipe too.. if you get yours running before me i demand to hear the exhaust!! haha

i dont think it will be ready for a couple of months.. how far are you off yours?

Mine is running, and it's bloody loud! I love it... Definitely too much for a road car, there's no way you could live with it everyday, but it's got a throaty rumbling growl note to it...

I'll take a video of it on the weekend...

Oh, and I've got a "race-modified" cat :)

I'll go for the titanium front pipes later... I have more than enough immediate future costs coming up in suspension and brakes!

I'll build the "proper engine" in a few months... This one is still reading 160 across all cylinders, so I just went for all the bolt-ons and oil control mods... That saved me a lot of time in getting the car running (as we both know), and I'll build a second engine on the side, but at least I'll have the car running while I go through a 6 month engine build!

I have renewed motivation to finish this thing, so hopefully withing the month, it will be on the track, but it'll be a year or two before it's "finished" :wacko:

I dropped by Superlap and remembered why I was going through all this trouble and expense :nyaanyaa:

After months and months of seeing endless streams of money fly out the door and working tirelessly on a car that doesn't even move, it's so easy to forget what waits for you at the end of the road...

You need to goto a few race meets and remember what we're building these stupid things for!

So very true... without a race meet every now and then it's very easy to not be stuffed with it anymore, especially when it's been years in the build. I'm much the same, car should be done in a week or two, but it hasn't sunk in yet!

By the way, LOVE the exhaust. Absolute work of art.

Andrew, take the sump off to Leon at Performance Metalcraft. He will be able to modify the diff extension and make it fit. He has done several of these for us now.

Nice car and i am sure, knowing you, it will be a very high standard build up

Mine worked out ok, balance and dimensions in spec. I'll get around to posting the hi res adaptor pics today if time allows

Keep the faith it looks like a great build...tell me that exhaust was cheap...please :)

I gotta get up at 5am for a 6:15am tee off tomorrow :banana:

NOT how I imagined I'd spend my first day of Easter..... :banana:

But for now............ some more pics!

18X10 +12 on an R32 is quite ambitious :banana:

Yes, this car will require more than guard rolling, I fear that panel beating might need to be undertaken, but I'm going to wait until we get the suspension in there and initial setup... The negative camber will give me a bit of extra clearance...

A 6:15am tee off sounds like the perfect way to start the long weekend. When we going for a game Merli im only off 12 and need more practice :banana:

Gimme a few months... I need to work on my handicap too :banana:

mate...this is gold....the only other reason I am visiting Motorsport on SAU at the moment is this thread.

Setup is awesome so far....keep it up.

P.S. Something about the R32 's still stir's the blood.....doesn't matter how many R33's, R34's I see...the R32 is still the shit.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
