Pulled the gearbox apart and what a mess! That's what 'clicking 3rd' with hot 295 AO50's will do to a 33 gearbox!  With some bits purchased from another donor box and help from Donny at For

Clean and up in the air. Final bits of work required to hit the track in November.

Wow. Yeah it has been a long time since an update in this thread. It's been laid up for a while. Sitting on stands and collecting dust. The last 2 years of my life has been a case of home renovation

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

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

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 :)

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.

post-10715-0-92004300-1303717228_thumb.jpg

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...

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
