Ev's - R32 Gtr - Targa/sprint/hill Climb Build


Recommended Posts

Nah Chris Tanner done my Cage, YT taught him though...

and i have a floor mount Tilton pedal box, so reaching the pedals isn't a drama.,.

Cheers

I just looked up the floor mount pedal box......another thing I hadnt considered. Very interesting indeed. Apart from adjustable floor position, what else do you like about them? Is it the bias adjust-ability? How much hassle is it to fit them? Looks like a dash out job to me, which is going to be hard now the cages extra a pillar supports are going in to my R32.

you are best to balence the car from the first build. I didn't put a pedalbox in mine cause i'm miserable, but i put the nav seat practicably in the back, which gave me a 56/44 weight distribution with driver and nav in (58/42 static). Most other gtst's are 60/40.

The GT-R have better weight distrobution cause of the heavier rear end, box/transfer case etc. But your still best to move as much as you can as far back as you can. If you don't do it now, you never will

Adjustablity was the key thing, as i tossed my ABS so i needed to be able to adjust front to rear, also more weight down low

the biggest plus is i can now see my starter motor, and unbolt it with ease!!!!, you understand this if you've ever had to pull

a GTR statermotor out.. :yes:

as for fitting it, yep Dash out, also had to cut a small part of the floor away to make it easier to move back and forth

if i was to do it again, i'd go with the canter lever pedal box, where the cylinders lay flat under the pedals..

Cheers

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
