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?

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!!!!!

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
