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

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
