Hi,
Just started a new R32 GTR Dedicated Rally Car build...
After putting Kermit into a concrete barrier in the rain last July, I am slowly getting the parts together to build another one..
Previous car straight after the "incident" with the wall at around 160 kph plus..

Then sourced the ex Brighty R32 GTR to use as the new donor shell c/w cage from Brad

Gave the shell a clean up-removed old stickers etc and then put on my trailer ready for Marc and Josh at C-Red to make it roll.. ready for Phil at AFM to ensure the chassis is straight-seam welding and panel and painting etc

Also purchased a Jun carbon fibre lip, CF wing and CF font grill as well as another set of original front guards/original bonnet and a new front radiator mount from Northside Nissan.

Once the car comes back from Phil at AFM ( panel and painted in the retro red white and blue Richards/Skaife livery)I will update with the mechanical details.

cheers

Interested to see how those door trims go. I have had my eye on them for quite a while but as you say, worried about them fouling on the side intrusion.

All looking great!

Hey,

Yeah, I have been looking at the Bee R door trims for a while and then one night after a few bourbs...I needed to have them....

I have attached a few shots I took this morning to give you an idea of what you get..( the doors are still off the new race car so I cant try them in situ yet...another week or so and i will find out)

The fit will clearly depend on the measurement between the intrusion bars and the actual body(ie: how wide the the tab is that is welded to the cage) if you follow me..

Drivers side and passenger side trims are around 50mm "thk"

Drivers side then slims down to around 30mm "thk"

Passenger side stays at around 50mm thk

Drivers side is about 30mm thk up in the top left corner, then blends up to 50mm thk as you get close to the door handle.

Note that both trims are 50mm at the top where they hook over the door....

Passenger is 30mm thk at top right corner then steps up another 20mm ( which makes it a pretty contant 50mm thk)

I wondered what happened to that car. Good to see it'll be revived.

Subscribed! Looking forward to seeing the old girl go round again!

You doing much racing these days? In a new car?

Hey,

Its a no go to start with.....pretty expensive to just put them on a streeter etc so I am just about to "try" a couple of things with some mild heat and try to shape them in a couple of places....the drivers side just "touches" the cross bars so a smidge of heat just might do the trick ......but the passenger side( which has different shape-profile) might be a litlle trickier to re shape.....

I will let you know in the necxt couple of weeks.....

cheers

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.

      So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
