Check out nagtroc, plenty of wild builds over there.

Noel, hopefully will save enough weight with the doors, hood and glass to offset the roll cage.

Second part of the build starts on the 24th November!

Heard that Mark, We take all this stuff out of our cars to save weight then go and put it all back on in the form of roll cages, dry sump kits, surge tanks etc. :P

We haven't taken the existing doors and hood off yet.

I am estimating from information off the internet/manufacturer about 5-6 kg for each door frame and about 6-7kg for the hood.

The big savings on the doors is removing the door skins, rearview mirrors and motors for the windows and the glass.

These carbon pieces are reasonably priced. Let me know if anyone is interested in getting some into the country.

The best thing to note is that with our exhaust (3.5" dumps into a 4" centre pipe with 2x 4" rear pipes) and the willall turbo upgrade, we achieved a BETTER THAN STANDARD boost curve! There has been approx 100rpm gain in boost response which, combined with the extra airflow of the larger turbos, provides heaps more torque in the midrange.

The best post in this build thread, THATS AWESOME!!!

Dr. Handbrake, awesome car mate!!! Good luck at the track :blink::rolleyes:

New wheels (10.5" front and 12' rear) and larger michelin slicks 28/31-18 front and 31/71-18 rear in S7 compound second hand

seemed to go ok but I found it hard to reproduce the times I managed in the morning session as the day went on, increasingly greasy despite attention to pressures.

    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well  
    • https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
