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


Recommended Posts

Oh scotch locks, you mad!! i had the worst time removing plenty of them in my evo after having power issues with everything that was added to the car by the previous owners.

i've had one of them Ruzic controllers in the box for 3 years really need to install it soon

Warm up lap second session around...........guess where the engine started to fail....perhaps I didnt really need to downchange a gear and overrev the engine on warm up....I feel sick watching this replay.......

Shattering. Golf R driver thinks they've got your measure now.

I kept tilting my head back to try and see over the dash! Camera needs more legs! Least of your worries at the moment though!

I reckon the engine sounded a bit gravelly right from the start. It's not like you were caning it when she went pop.

Eek...sorry to read/see you popped an engine

Highly doubt its the cause but its never good going into Honda and popping the clutch to get it back to 2nd and pinning the revs. Best get plenty of practice on how to row back through the gears and in the future with a healthy engine its often over revs on down changes that take their toll on healthy engines

yes very shattered. will be practicing hard when next out about. its the first real track daying I have done so heal and tow does not come natural.....will keep at it though.

Car is now at track art getting some door liners, rear shelf and drivers foot rest.

Also installing heat shield between exhaust and floor pan to stop nav's boots from melting to the floor!!! And a floor plate on NAV's side to cover transfer case area.

Andrew is going I make a custom insert panel to mount the ruzic controller nice and clean.

I also bit the bullet and purchased a reconditioned 6 speed h pattern Trust/quaife dog box off one of the forum members from Sydney. I was going to buy a PAR gear set but after reading forum posts on them I decided to pass on them due to major ????? On them. Hopefully the trust box will go nice.

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
