I say make it a R/C car! Wouldn't be that hard for a guy that cast his own heads and made his own valves and springs! In this video he talks about the build.

I've see another video on it... 312 model video (english)

what a f**kin waste of time, next time take 2/3s longer and build a real one, its not even remote control for fux sake, french poof build a real car..

I want my 5 minutes back :D

what do you classify as not a waste of time? sitting around drinking?

hats off to the bloke, if you had any idea of what you were talking about this is quite an achievement... also if you paid atention the bloke didn't have enough money to build a full one, and it wouldn't be 2/3s longer, if you could even do any maths, it would be more like 9 times longers, so 9 times 12 years + 3 for design = 111 years, pretty sure thats not a viable option...

its wankers like this bloke that really pisses me off...

+1, thats absolutely amazing what he did. I can't beleive he stuck with it for 12 years. Such a shame he will never really get the credit he deserves for something like that. Such a huge amount of his life used and unfortunately most people will be like "hmmm cool" and continue on. I wonder how much he is trying to sell it for.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
