are u really goin to drag race it ?? its way too nice man. maybe just throw the motor in a shitter or get whole new car ??

cars are meant to be built and raced, no matter how good they look :)

car looks very very nice white is definitely the best colour for a 32 esp with all the carbon parts in contrast!!

love it! and i dont usually love other 32s other than mine lol

wow, from start to finish what a great read, i believe somewhere it said you were trying to promote your business, i believe by this post it proves that you have definately got the attention.. i live in nsw but after reading this i feel like shipping my car up and emptying the bank account lol

great job, kudos to your dad and brother as well. i wish my dad knew how to build cars, best he has ever attempted is repainting the roof on the sigma ahahaha

Well done man on a well planned out project. Car has come out unreal, even though it's a 'backyarder job' as you call it. To me it's probably better then most professional jobs done. Can't wait til jambo and check this out.

That things tough as, fuel setup is no word of a lie AMAZING, i wish i had enough room at my place to have a triple garage and a spray booth :( instead ive got a single garage / spray booth.

Anyway good stuff mate.

Thanks for all the comments and support guys thumbsup.gif. Yes this car is going to raced we have spent way to much money and have put a solid 2 and a half years of blood,sweat and beers into making this car, now its time to enjoy it. Don't know how good the fuel economy will be in this thing but I'm guessing its gonna be pretty shit house. As long as it can make it the drag strip on a tank of fuel, then i'll be happy. Probably a fair chance that we will only get a couple of runs at the strip in street trim before the boys at Palmyra tell us to piss of and put a parachute on. down.gif There will be video's for sure of when this thing hits the strip for the first time. We have all our race clothing on order, pretty much ordered the whole RPM catalog identical to what the V8 Supercar Boys wear, so hopefully will be hear shorty.

As for promoting the business, I'm sure this car will gives us lots of attention and when the other two project cars are done we will have a good portfolio of cars under our wing. The 33 GTR will hopefully be done in the next month or two and then the Supra Project will start which i am looking forward to, as it will be a change from working on GTR's all the time can which get a bit boring at times. I am keen to do a Z project car as well, i have a few ideas i wanna do to a 350Z with a massive Stillen Supercharger strapped to it. Ummm time will tell hahaha!!!!!!!

I will keep you's updated as much as possible in the next few weeks when the car makes it debut at the strip so be sure to stayed tuned. The excitement is building fast.

Cheers

Benny

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
