Had these photos sent today, progress on the painting side of things. Will go check out the car on Friday, might stop bye and see how the engine is coming along too. Big thanks Andrew from Kinzy paint and panel, appreciate your work buddy.

Shy? It's a build thread dude start posting.

Definitely reinforced the boot, boys made a frame under the boot, that the wing attaches too, so boot and wing are one, then braced to boot chassis so the wing and boot come off in one piece.

The car is in Vic, I am in Adelaide and I receive a lot of pictures of the build. A lot of the pictures are quite detail of the R&D and I have not ask what I can/can't share so I am just giving the builders some respect. I will share what I can a bit later on.

I've got the same wing and would not mind seeing what you have done so I can install it onto my street R32 later down the track. I think I got the 8" upright though because that was what they had back then.

Freddy will make me a dry carbon bonnet and a set of doors. Contact him if you want to loose some more weight mate

Sorry to hijack - but I have some 10" uprights for this wing if you want some?

Makes the wing sit around 285mm at the trailing edge from the boot height and my racing category only allows 250mm so I'm getting some custom ones made up.

No problem I understand, we will be testing shortly if you would like to bring your car along? I've spoken to Freddie bout this as well. I already have a carbon boot/bonnet/doors/headlights/wing.... Carbon shaft and battery on the list, more important places to spend cash at the moment as its easy to get carried away, I am more interested in spending as much time in the car at the track to set it up.

Ill pm you details.

Thinking maybe we should run a twin turbo set up again, what are your thoughts?

[HKS26T]

Love it!!! But twins are a serious pain in the a$$ trackside to work with.....

[Leroy Peterson]

Have you got a back-up plan for the exhaust if you get flagged for noise? If PI are running a 75db and the pipes are facing the tower.... hell people still get stung on 95db if the wind is blowing the wrong direction.

Personally i would stay with a single. Less things to go wrong, easier to work on like HKS26T said.

Plus if something does go wrong with twins, its so much more of a pain in the ass to diagnose the problem.

If you are worried about lag, with a track car you wont be spending much time under 3000rpm, and yes even at higher rpms, there will still be a slight delay with power coming on, but you can compensate by accelerating just that little bit earlier so that boost is on strong as you exit the corner.

Besides, if your setup is tuned correctly (which by the build, im assuming it is) lag should be kept to a minimum anyway.

[stevena]

Definately keeping it single turbo guys, that massive turbo was laying around at the cage fabricators and thought it would look cool for a snap shot. Freak'n huge turbo

lol, even if you sneeze you get pinned these days, we usaully do "on track events" which is 95db and they don't seem to mind much about noise, although they are pricey at about $800 for the day its definately worth it as you get heaps of track time with drivers that don't slow you down with traffic. Might have to modify the exhaust some how, we still have our old full length exhaust sitting there too

Had a chance to stop by Bc automotive and cavehill engines services to see the progress. I thought the car had to many bars previously, but now it has an additional 7 bars to stiffen up the front.

[stevena]

Few more

Engine is awaiting a plennum which will need some love from stu, head has been completed. I haven't had an engine to this degree before so it was interesting to hear and learn the work involved. Bout 50 hours to get the head ported and polished. Lucky our sponsor is an engine builder

Nitto 2.8 kit recently released, that durafinish crank looks sweet.

Nitto

We are Cryogenic freezing the engine block and parts which takes about a week to do, I have done all the research I could do on this subject but still have no idea if this works or not. I am taking the word from stu as he has previously done this, and says that the engine components wear less than those that haven't been done. Any thoughts from readers following are welcome??? Any engine builders reading feel free to jump in.

Even though I had an n1 water pump advised to have a new one

Few more goodies awaiting

[stevena]

Picked up a second hand merc electric power steering pump to replace the standard one, less mess and lighter, Bc use these on their race cars.

[Leroy Peterson]

thats a nice big shopping list.

Just out of curiousity, what sort of wheel studs/nuts do you use? has the track on the front or rear been widened?
