Russman's Time Attack Build

[DCIEVE]

Awesome build so far!

Is that an atp ts rear for the garrett - any quality issues?

[Russman]

Yeah it's ATP. Looks good except for a few machining blemishes but nothing to be concerned with I hope.

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!

You might even find it harder to catch me now

Cant wait to see this thing in action

How did you paint your rockers?

[Russman]

How did you paint your rockers?

I didn't. That's why they look so good

Mick from MP SMASH in clayton next door to ACE WORKSHOP did them for me.

[DJRIFT]

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.

[Marlin]

Great stuff Russ! Watching with interest!

[Josh_TypeX]

Awesome build Russ. Those wheels... wow. Will be watching this thread and looking forward to seeing it at the track!

[JZP]

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

[Roy]

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 BTW are you coming to SL this year? I need your advise again

[sav man]

his advice will be to put a 20 back in it

[Roy]

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

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

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...
