Thanks for sharing the pics. :) Not many people get a good look inside the VR38. we've all seen plenty of RB26s inside and out but the VR is new to many. not many would even know of the 3 timing chain system with exhaust cams driven by small chains off the inlet cams (driven off the crank). it's a cool idea and one of many little things in the new GTR powerplant.

the car will be fantastic when it's done. :)

Here are some more update photos of car stripped and caged!!

No. It has custom seats and guides installed. It's then been on the Newen Contour Epoc Machine for bowl and seat work.

Runners don't require porting as their cross sectional area volume is large enough when analized with the oversize Ferrea Valves. This will keep the gas velosity up.

Porting the runners goes backward in flow and you would need to be super carful as they are thin to start with in some areas when sonically tested.

Cheers

    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?  
    • Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all.
