Thats probably as gutted as i wanna go with the doors, as without the cross brace the top flexed inwards. Top alloy mount is for the Lexan/poly carb windows. Pedal box is all mounted and braced, made up a custom plate for the trans tunnel to mount the G-sensor and Hydro handbrake on. Also had to mount/ drill holes for the Craft square mirrors as they arnt made for a 4dr. Also bent up some tubing for a high wing stand. Getting some steel laser cut this week, then weld that in.

Over the next week, getting some cooler piping finished off and all underneath seam welded and holes welded up.

Yup, 295/30/18 all round on a 10.5 should be fine :)

Thats the main reason for going wide body.

hey

i have been following this build very impressive im getting scared lol

anyway i have a set of 18x11 te37sl with 295 rubber if u wana trial fit to see how they sit on your awesome build

If you are going wide body then why not go with a 11.5" wide rim so you can run 315 rubber, that gives you a lot of tyre options. I am getting a set of BBS E88 in 18x11.5 now if you are interested PM me.

How much you looking at for 315 tyres? already with 295/30/18 there around $670 each.

No one makes wide carbon front guards either :(

No but there are plenty of good metal work places that could modify some standard guards.

Looking on Tirerack about $350-$500/

PM me if you want to know more about the BBS E88's, they are a motorsport wheel and lighter than a standard set of LM's.

Great work Luke.

Mike, who do you recommend for metal work? I wouldn't mind fitting the 18x11 +18 into my honda s2000....just need to find a good place to stretch the metal out a bit... a fair bit actually since the OEM offset is like +60 haha

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
