Interesting choice in rear housing... One of the guys over here in WA had a ATP twin scroll rear for his GT35R but it had dags all through the casting and lots of different defects (may have been a one off but would be advisable to check)

What was the reasoning behind the 1.0 twin scroll rather than a 0.8 single scroll?

I couldn't find a T3 6boost manifold at the time but I could get a T4 for a good price.

The slag would be my main concern, check thoroughly! http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb146/hr31rb26coupe/HR31%20track%20prep/atp_1p06_t4_slag.jpg

Thanks for the advise. I'll check it thoroughly for sure!

Lol Russ...good work so far mate and I look forward to racing against it on the track (someone has to keep you honest) ;)

You might even find it harder to catch me now :P

So just out of interest is ACE workshop an actual workshop or just a team name?

Ive always loved Jap built cars that seem to go and go and go. one of the cars i look after is still 95% how it arived from japan and it has done 4 or so seasons racing.

this is a grate build thread by the way. car gets plenty of use.

I just call it 'team' ace workshop coz there are a few of us that hit the track from time to time and all the cars are built there.

Yeah the way my old car was setup was almost faultless. I saved a hell of a lot of money by buying a car that was already modified instead of doing it all my self back in the day.

Russ, great thread.

You were the guy that made me re-think things with my GTR and track-cars (you've probably seen my thread).

Seeing the facts and figures that you and Roy were achieving made me realise that just owning a nice horsepower (costly) GTR does not make a good track car.

Watching this thread with interest

You realise you have started an arms race? You have less weight, more tyre and talent so fark knows when and how I am going to be able to keep up

Dunno about less weight Troy. But more power and tyre for sure :P BTW are you coming to SL this year? I need your advise again :)

I dont think I will be at Superlap. I will be in Europe (catch is i need to stick out work for another 6 weeks and having serious doubts whether I could be bothered with work anymore)

My car is basically isnt really lightened. Air con got removed because of the fire, rear wiper is gone and alloy GTR bonnet. Thats it really for my car. Has all the sound deadening, stereo, most of the interior etc. Keen to see how the 25 goes for you....i have cheater motor on a pallet if i need a hand :)

UPDATE:

Success today with me and Matt having a go at pumping the rear guards to fit the massive wheels and tyres.

We used a porta-power (pneumatic ram), grinder, hammers and 2 heat guns.

Overall we pumped them approximately 35mm extra over what was already flared a few years ago. So overall it's about 50mm wider than GTSt guard :D

We had to cut the inner guard and reinforcing to allow it to stretch out.

post-10715-0-44351900-1303717102_thumb.jpg

Considering what we did the guard has come away ok. It kinked in a few spots above the arch but really it's better than we expected. The paint didn't even crack! We kept it really hot throughout with the head guns.

There is plenty of room under there now and with dynamic camber it should never hit.

This is now it started

This is what it got to!

Overall it took about 3 hours. Next is doing the other quarter...

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
