Modified gearbox crossmember to a solid mount setup with just a thin layer of hard rubber to reduce a little vibration, also a brand new 2 piece tailshaft to suit welllll over 1000hp, made by gibsons at edgeworthpost-60275-0-89657900-1416170430_thumb.jpeg

Exaust has started, all will be made out of stainless, 4" dump into twin 2.5" straight to the rear.post-60275-0-60908300-1416172369_thumb.jpeg

Decided to make the screamer come out the fender because we could and didnt really have much room to go down because the 4" dump.post-60275-0-80481900-1416172703_thumb.jpeg

sceamer and dump will be hi temp coated and wrapped, also need to make a heat shield for the brake master.

size wise in the tunnel is sweet, if anything the bell housing is slightly smaller than an rb box, only thing is its places the shifter slightly further back and have to chop a bit out of the top of the tunnel. in my opinion the rb shifter sat to far forward and always found myself kind of stretching for 1st and 3rd so I like where it sits now. ill get a photo of in the next couple days.

yer wasn't really hard getting the jz to fit either.

Just some photos of the lobster back work on the exhaust by Stav Fab and Fitting.

And the wiring begins! It is made a whole lot easier with the help of a brand new engine harness and sub chassis harness from Chasebays in America. You can choose what engine, injectors, ecu and chassis you have to make it easier. I chose the race sub chassis harness as I'm only going to be running head lights, harzards, Windows, wipers and fuel pumps.

Alrighty guys, been pretty busy with renovating with my brother over the last month and a half but im back into it.

Car is currently off getting the cage done, wiring is probably about half way, will be getting painted over the next few week's, and then just a few bits and pieces to finish her off.

Aiming for a drift day down at Wakefield on the 6th April, will definitely be pushing it to get there but fingers crossed.

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
