hows this build coming along ?

Hi

The cars coming along very well, just finished getting all the sound deadening out and cut the rear parcel shelf and wall out, and cleaned all the imperfections out, it look very nice. Construction of the cage will begin very soon, still tossing up the idea to stitch weld the chassis and add more bracing in the cage.

As far as engine goes, ideas change like the wind, but most likely be running a JUN bottom end (maybe), also would anyone like to swap, I got a Brand New Trust T88 Mainfold with new 50mm Trust Waste Gate Never Been Used want to swap for a HKS T51R V-Band Manifold and a 60mm Wastegate.

I Have just order a heap of carbon goodies for the car to make it look the part:

-Carbon Grill

-Carbon Front Diffuser (Abflug Style)

-Carbon Rear Diffuser (Top Secret Style)

-Carbon Tomei Style Headlight intake.

More Pics coming soon.

Cheers

Benny

This is a very nice project.

Love to see some more pictures.

The only Achilles I can see in your setup is the gearbox. It will get you in the 9 but be very difficult to get into the 8 with it.

How fast has Mark and Paul done in this box?

Theo Woollett, got into the 8 with the ppg dog box, but it took him a very long time. His gearbox maintenance bill, if he was not sponsor, would have been very big too.

While you are still at the drawing board stage, it might be worthwhile to think about a sequential gearbox (OS88 or Hollinger). It will save you a lot of money and heart ache in the long run.

That was my 1st thought aswell

I didnt think there was much difference in HP rating between the 38gk and T62r

The 38gk is an 1100hp turbo and the HKS 1200hp

Either way I doubt either would be big enough to run 8's in a GTR

huh ??.... reece mcgregor used a T51R SPL to run 7's

althought this wasnt using radial tyres... "Dunlop SP Sport Dragway Special Tyres"

Whered the diffusers come from?

  • 3 weeks later...

Quick Update,

The car is coming along great, our initial completion date was January, but you know how these things go delays, waiting for parts and have not had the time off to do anything. Anyway rollcage has been given to a professional welder, looks awesome will be stiff as a board. The Custom Jun Stroker kit arrived this week along with some Jun Hi-Step Cams, so engine will hopefully be done very soon (cant wait). The problem we have at the moment is the interior, we cant decide whether to carbon overlay everything or flock it. I wanna go with carbon, it will just take ages to do thats all.

Possible Parts Update list:

-Wilwood Front Brakes & R33 GTR Brembo Rears

-Full Ikeya Formula Suspension setup.

-6 Boost Manifold & HKS 60mm Wastegate

-Whiteline Swaybars

-Plus much more

P.S needs coilovers for car for drag setup HKS Drag Coilovers would be nice, if anyone has any for sale, also chasing a 3.5" or 4" titanium or stainless catback exhaust.

Also will someone please take this Trust Manifold and Wastegate of my hands!!!!!

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
