[Risking]

are you ahead of schedule or am I behind!

[BOZ22N]

I am a little ahead but i will let you know when it is ready to pick up from the smash repairs place and we will work out a good time then bud.

[Risking]

No problem at all.

Ive got room for it even if it has to sit for a week before I get to it.

Just purchased a Ross Race Series Balancer for the RB25 with 10% under drive on the W/P and 20% on the power steer.

Great price and very easy to deal with.

Very nice

Are you going to dry sump it too?

[BOZ22N]

Not yet Jay but the Balancer has all the provisions to bolt on the oil pump drive when i do.

Do you run this balancer on the GTR?

[Risking]

Jay is using an ATi balancer on his engine.

I use ROSS on mine but dont use the ROSS dry sump gear I turn up my own and modify the pulley the suit the way I wanted it done.

They are a good bit of gear and work well.

Just a quick update, i picked up the car from the smash repairers today and i am very happy with the job. All the holes in the roof and the rust has been repaired and it is ready to be fitted out with the cage, so excited.

ha ha, what sunroof??????? did a great job. Project coming along well Ryan, and yes the list of things to do always seems to grow instead of shrink lol. Let me know if you want your oil pan modified while the engine is on the stand. We built a couple of high energy style pans with internal gates and baffeling for RB engines for circuit use, there is a thread somewhere. Just be easy to do it now. Still get a bit worried about oil surge in the standard sump and with the suspension you are running you will see decent corner speeds and braking G forces.

Hope to see it at OP.

Id be keen to see the threads on the oil pans, im contemplating something for mine but dont want to the hassle of fitting a new swaybar with the high energy option.

[BezerkR32]

this is an old post from when we had the workshop but you can see the sumps, they clear crossmembers etc.

pay no attention to the group buy stuff, but if there is interest its better to do a couple rather than a one off.

yeah done awesome job on it!!

cant wait for the cage to go in!

[JAS-25T]

Looks great!

Did they fully weld the new roof panel?

wondering if they used bog, if it will crack during the stresses of the track, although you will have a cage which will stiffen the whole thing up.

No bog in my car buddy.

He used a poly urethane glue stuff that will give a little i think, you can't weld them completely cause it will deform the entire roof i think. It has been spot welded at a ratio of one spot per inch, Then the poly urethane glue stuff does the rest i think ???

Time will tell if it cracks or not? Fingers crossed it is all sweet.

[JAS-25T]

It looks a treat, wasn't having a dig (sorry if it sounded like that) just curious how it was done, because yeah, seal welding it would be f**k off hard.

[Risking]

I tried TIG welding up a sunroof once and the whole roof buckled and went to shit.

We beat it kind aflat again but it was never that great. Lucky was an old shit box S13 that had seen better days anyways.

[BOZ22N]

Well just a quick up date the car has been delivered to Brads to get the cage sorted so hopefully i will have it back in a few weeks to finish painting the inside then it will be full steam ahead re assembling.

I will try and up date some picks along the way.

[Risking]

ill be sure to send and post up photos as we go along.

For those that dont know Ryan is getting a full weld in cage with the lot.
