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

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
