in need wheel alignment specs stat beofre i finish the case

sorry mate missed your call today. assuming you have stock upper and lower arms you want - as much caster as you can get, 2mm toe out front and 0mm toe rear (or a bit of toe in if you are aligning it for jemma and not you :thumbsup:)

pete how many gears do you think a race car will need?

minimum weight for a multivalve sport sedan is 1200kg, this will be way under that. in fact when you think about it, if you can build the car to 1000kg, then you can add back in 200kg of sprung weight anywhere inside the front and rear axles without much penalty....so add as many coolers, big oil tank, double pumps etc for reliability and there is really no disadvantage. we are all so used with GTRs to having to do extreme things to keep weight down that this will be a very interesting contrast.

Duncan check your PM.

Sent you a link to a very good site for buying some pretty serious parts.

I purchased a woodward steering rack today and a few other little things to make it interesting.

Not sure how it will work yet but meh,

We got it off the trailer and into the garage today (that was fun) So next weekend will probably break out the plasma and cut the crap outta it. Id like to start it during the week but got another GTR to finish first.

First thing will be getting the two main rails mocked up and braced to the sill panels so we can get some castor wheels under it and make it mobile.

I've been talking to Mark (gemini sports sedan mark) tonight about the wishbone suspension. He had some really good input according to what his found from 10 years of trial and error.

You kinda chuck everything you think you know out the window and listen to the guys who have been there done that. Or thats my theory anyways.

Yeah we have looked at that silvia. Someone should buy that thing its really well priced!

Its not exactly what I wanted and there is no real provision to fit an RB without cutting up the chassis.

Since we've got pretty much everything to build a car this way works out better in the long run.

Its a project more than anything so buying a car almost finished defeated the purpose of what I wanted to do.

When I built the white GTR I bought enough cage material to build 5 or 6 cages so we even have the material for the chassis.

It's a shame because that S13 was originally built to house an RB25, would have been perfect for you... oh well.

Yeah but unforturnatly not the way I wanted to do it. Are we talking about the same S13 in perth??

I thought it had an Astron 2.6 turbo in it last.

Is it this one that you're referring too?

I remember the guy who was building it was posting on here, or on Nissan Silvia, and seem to recall it being dummy fitted with an RB25 as in the pics. It may have then been on sold though.

yeah, he said it had an RB. I'm not sure where brad saw it with an astron motor in it? all the talk and pics I saw said RB. it would be sweet with a nice 26 or 30/26.

considering all the work done, and the fact that it's set to run RB I reckon if you're building a sports sedan you'd be mad not to offer the bloke $10K. even if you really wanted a new frame there would be so much money saved with body-work, wheels, shocks, pedal box.

Hey Brad,

If your ever over this way pop into Beaus work @ Westside Muffelers @ padstow

You probably remember his sprinter, well its been cut up lots... and lots and lots with the whole front end fairly custom. looks good pop in!

P.s. Bring the light around or get it to work and i will come grab it.

and also convince Beau to put a 20b pp into his sprinter if you pop around there.

Hey Risking.... mate pop on over to the sports sedan website www.sportssedans.com.au and join the forum.... alot of boys would be happy to hear from especially regarding the gtr you are building for the sports sedans.... be happy to hear from you soon.... Nadz44....

out. after seeing the pic I'm no longer buying this

the picture shows a 4 pot buried in there

lol you are no longer in charge of maths. I can see enough cylinders for each finger on one hand. and a rb water pump mount. you need to lay off the indian food.

anyway......get going on this real project. as soon as you finish both of my motors :mad:

The S13 HAS A DRY SUMPED ASTRON 2.6 not an RB. I have been in contact with the current owner for some time about purchasing it BUT there is a reason its been for sale so long and has not sold!

Despite being full of decent parts they are all old second hand stuff, The penske's are not worth a great deal.

I bought a set of last years FPV super car shocks tonight and there not that intense with price.

Duncan I do agree, there is other reasons as well. The chassis is the begining of its problems.

Geoff ther eis always stufff to so here!

Gee's Brad!! Do you ever stop!?!?!?!?

dont let this project slow down/stop the white GTR's racing!

If it does...Im happy to drive the white GTR....wont do any good but happy to drive it :mad:

edit - this build sounds awesome, will keep an eye on this thread! wouldnt even love to see it in person!

Chris the white car has not been pushed to the side. Development on it is still happening but im pretty happy with it atm.

It was at wakefield last weekend in the pouring rain and will be at oran park this friday as well.

Its getting quicker and Jay is now driving it as well so we're getting some good data and a set-up thats starting to work pretty well between the two of us.

Your welcome to have a steer on Friday, I know Duncan is itching to get his hands on it as well.

I've still got Duncans prod car to do and a spare engine then Jay's Grey car and my new toy, then im sure Duncan will find something else to do after that!

LOL

So.....how do you find time to work on all these vehicles??

I mean...what if I was to ask you to build me a motor, when you going to find the time?? LOL

Mate i'd love a steer but i'd be too scared!

Will be good to catch up on friday mate!

and still cant wait to see the new project/keep following it, sounds awesome!

If Chris wont take up that offer, send the offer my way Brad, ill go easy on it and just do 3 or 4 laps.

Still dont know why stretch wont let me steer his one, considering where his turbo came from :mad:

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
