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

Unfortunately the new custom sump was modelled on an R33 and it didn't clear the swaybar enough when we put it in last week.

Because of this we missed out at PI on the weekend. I had brand new rubber on the thing and was ready to go but no such luck...

Turns out that the whiteline sway bar that is on my car was a prototype from years ago and they don't sell them anymore so pretty unique situation. The bend is very close to the sump so that's what has caused the issue. I think that a new 27mm sway bar with a better option that pulling the sump off again! Custom one being investigated now. Hope it makes the 21st!!

time for another update...

New 27mm swaybar has just arrived to solve the sump clearance issues. I currently have a loan 24mm until I get a chance to fit the 27mm. Might try both on the weekend if I can as a comparison.

Fulcrum suspension have sorted out the bar for me.

I've extended the wing end plates as the old ones were a little small and the bigger ones should hopefully stop a bit of the spill over the sides.

The splitter has come a long way. I'm still testing as it's all a bit new to me still. I'm really just copying what the fast guys do and following basic principles and advice I'm getting along the way.

I'll be logging the data at Philip Island this weekend to see if straight line speed is sacrificed and if corner speed is increased. As a bare minimum I'm expecting more downforce from just the splitter seperating the air and minimising air flow under the car.

If it all works the plan is to make the parts out of carbon fibre down the track. It's all trial and error at the moment.

loving the alloy canards. i made some about 3 years ago and was laughed at. been hesitant to make any new ones.

i seen in a build thread for an american R35 time attack car they made canards out of alloy. they were far easier and cheaper and did the same job.

are the uprights for your wing an off the shelf item?

Yeah the ally is pretty light except for the splitter. It's damn heavy. CF would be so much better

Nah they were made by superleggera carbon fibre in sydney. They're pretty hard core!

Hope you don't mind Russ. Most people probably know what happened already!

      Yes, well, keep in mind that the air is intake air, which equal boost + possible oil. If there is a fine deposition of oil/scunge that then gets hot and carbonises, it could look just like that. Probably shouldn't be leaking. Might just be normal for that product. Hard to know if it is relevant.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Wrapped up putting the motor back in today. I have a stainless flex turbo drain pipe like you see on cummins and that funny enough PRP started selling. I generally prefer these but sadly they come with a finite amount of times they can be bent before they snap. Took well over a week for a replacement to arrive.  I was able to prime the pump but I will more then likely wait until next friday to take it on its madden voyage. I also installed the nozzles for my direct port WMI setup but plugged the nozzle holders for now. I'll tube it with Swagelok SS tubing and fittings next chance I get. No rush, i'll be breaking it for a week or two anyways.

      I could definitely do some logs without the VCT enabled for sure. I believe we tried it on the dyno and it still spiked but wouldn't hurt to try again and have the logs    I might be able to use some metal cable ties and hold the gate open entirely, I'd need to see about that one.   What do we think about these marks on the cap of the actuator? This is where the two parts push together where the diaphragm spring is. To me they look like air has been sleeping past?? Specifically talking about those black stains above the lower rim/lip. They can be rubbed away as if it's just an exhaust stain.

      And if it still spikes, just for now, turn off VCT completely by disabling it OR simply unplug the solenoid. Just to rule out excessive exhaust pressure. I recall a video from Motive DVD about a decade ago, where Hawkins original single Garrett GTX3582 or so turbo had boost control issues sub 1.4bar of boost as well.   Food for thought? Is there anyway you can peg the WG completely open and/or dodgily not plumb it back into your exhaust system for testing purposes?
