Just been assembling everything at the moment then over the next few weeks get the side pipe done and the widebody all molded in. Probably end up making all my fuel lines and other braided/teflon hoses to.

Just got some scrap pirelli's on the front and Dunlop semis on the rear. All 295/30/18. Was surprised the 295's actually fit pretty well on a 10.5.

Will msg you sometime to pop down and have a look. Usually here late a few nights a week.

Luke awesome work brutha, well done with your efforts, she is going to be a sexy-beast with them wide body additions!!! Can't wait to see the final product!!

One of my favourite 4 door pixs from the web!!

Brief update.

Got the boot floor cut out today.

Subframe all braced up

Fuel cell/boot bracing made up

And the sway bars arrived smile.gif

what the bracing on the subframe for? didnt think there would be much movement / twist in it?

looks like a awesome build tho!

Nice cooler...looks like the R spec full knife end inlet edition...extremmely hard to get now.

I used 280 Michelin Full slicks from the GT series cars...just ask the tyre fitters at the track for the used sets..usually 50-$75 each. Good enough for a 1:16.0 on my street suspension at lala.

We can do 2.8 kits now with CP pistons if your in need...much easier than converting to 3ltr

Who is we? What is the "kit". Feel free to PM if you like.

Luke, let me know when you are free mate, would not mind to come check out the beast.

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
