IT will be fun when its done but the problem is in WA no one believes in customer service or getting a job done in a timely fashion..

unfortunately no it wont be ready for race wars to much work on at the moment but funnily enough i will have all of April to get it finished so im a month to late. Shame would have been some good competition, i wanted to see if i could max the new speedo i got for it.

The head work is care of Godzilla motorsports cnc programits not cheap but its a dam sight bettter and cheaper then some hand porting jobs!

I have all my parts pretty much now so i just have to wait to get some time off work to put it all together!

stay tuned though its gonna be wild!

No real update yet it's at the shop still it's almost finished! Ended up changing fuel system to run e85. See how this flex fuel thing goes!

Didn't realise how big the r type hks intercooler was till it was fitted, not a lot of clearance there!

I'll get some more pictures up shortly!

Yeh funny you should say that I had hoped to get it to racewars last year.. And here we are.

Well you will laugh at the gearbox selection.. I'm going to run the standard one at the moment. Can't make my mind up yet I was convinced a ppg rebuild would be the go but I decided if it was going to be dog box it has to be sequential but I would I was loosing sight of what the car is actually going to be used for! And that is to drive it to work everyday and the odd track day..

Simon is pushing 700whp through a standard box, however look at how he races and treats the box very gentle on the shifts and very smooth but still pretty quick shift.

he just hoards stock 32 R boxes at home.

i am chasing similar power and have opted for a 34 Getrag in my 32, slightly stronger, similar to yourself i want to keep it semi streetable so i didnt want a dog box.

Forget about a dog box for daily driving. Sequential would be a waste unless it was strictly a weekend + track car only. For 5-600rwhp the OS Giken kit or a helical PPG would be a better option. Although, the standard boxes can cop a fair amount of power.

Yeh I thought I would wait and see how long it lasts and exactly what breaks. I had thought the best option would be an os set with the billet plate and agy synchros so I'm trying to get onto the synchros at the moment and then build up the parts list from there. I've got a spare one anyways so there won't be much down time anyhow.

    • I always wonder where the obsession with legal/illegal spacing on number plates in the UK comes from. Because it comes up in comments in every UK-based video I see on youtube. From my point of view all of your plates look a bit odd. Just because there are no markings whatsoever. In Australia we have the state that has to be on it. In Europe you get stamps and state logos. Yours look a bit like a throwaway draft that people then stuck with. And attached with blu tack so that it falls off at the slightest disturbance. Not trying to hate, but it's interesting how things are done in different countries. Do you have to follow a lettering convention when choosing a custom plate?
    • Hybrid sounds like a supercharger... It's half a turbo, with a belt to drive it! Oh wait, they're just called super chargers...
    • It's either an ignition failure or a fuel failure.
    • Before starting any work, we attempted to adjust the tune. However even after adjusting it to certain extremes like completely stopping fuel, it had no effect. What fixed it was removing the Nistune Board and installing the original EPROM instead. This immediately fixed the issue. Everything should have been fine with the Nistune Board installation, so I am unsure why it has caused a problem. The soldered connector is also properly soldered. This worked when I first got the 550cc injectors, before cleaning, but that may have been a coincidence.  We ended up not installing the fuel pump hanger (at least for now). So currently running stock injectors, stock fuel pump, stock fuel pump hanger – Well everything stock except the exhaust. Now I have around €1400 in Nistune, Injectors, and Hanger collecting dust for the time being, perhaps I'll install them in the future. For now I'll enjoy the car as is 😁 Thanks a lot for all your assistance, I really appreciate all the help you have given me.
    • The turbo can’t be the issue. They’re proven to make much much power than you’re making. There is something in the setup that isn’t correct. - has the exhaust got any silly step downs? - what exhaust manifold?
