Ryan1200 Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Great build mate. What are your aims for hp and 1/4 mile times? Thanks mate. Not attempting to break any records id like to make close to 1000rwhp and keep things relatively reliable run high 8's with what appears a pretty complete nice looking car.

Ryan1200 Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) Rear bracket fabrication. Mounting of the trans cooler assembly. Manufactured a scoop to aid some airflow. Scoop back from the coaters -16 dry break for filling the fuel tank. We wanted to keep the fuel tank as high as possible to gravity feed the mechanical fuel pump up front. By doing that it caused filling and fuel capacity issues if we used the factory filling location. Fingers crossed with a straight-ish run of -12 line and the biggest body highest flowing aeromotive inline filter we will supply fuel the length of the car without the need for a front mounted fuel cell. A lot of the muscle car guys run this system and said as long as you don't 60ft under 1.2 sec they have found this to work and keep things simple. Could've dropped some easy weight by ditching the exhaust but i prefer the sound through muffler and no screamers so we built a full 4.5" system using volvo 4.5" truck clamps as i couldn't sources 4.5" vbands at a decent price Built muffler to how we wanted it 4.5" inlet to twin 3.5" tips for the factory look haha only came in full packed with glass and steel wool at 12KG so not too heavy.

Very interested to know who is doing all the fabrication work? Cheers mate appreciate you're comment. This is definitely my dream/ultimate build id been constructing this one in my head for a long time now and its finally about to come to life very exciting . All the design/fabrication work was done by Daniel from DTP motorsports his is a very very talented guy. Check out his Facebook page he goes to extreme lengths for the smallest details and that was just how i wanted this build.. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/452268-r33gtr-drag-car/page/2/#findComment-7458029 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan1200 Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Coolant, Fuel and oil pressure sensors. Removed standard chopper rings from the front driveshafts and replaced them with a less tooth item we had water jet cut to keep the new sensor and motec happy. Exhaust manifold pressure sensor arrangement. One copper tube from either side of the twin scroll. Line lock solenoids and brake pressure sensor. HKS Drag shocks with position sensors mounted. Purchased off yahoo japan cheap then had them rebuilt by MCA suspension. 2 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/452268-r33gtr-drag-car/page/2/#findComment-7458035 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan1200 Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 Build of the new dash fascia. Once the standard fascia was how we wanted the final product it was wrapped in fibreglass and this plug was made. Undercoated then cleared and polished so the carbon didn't stick to the plug. Heres the carbon going into the plug. We really need a vaccum bag setup to get a perfect finish for this job. Finished product. Would've liked to have the bare carbon look but we got a few imperfection in the finish we couldn't hide so we painted to suit factory dash.

Ryan1200 Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 4 button steering wheel setup. To save getting caught up in the wiring on the back of the wheel while your steering the thing a wood plug was made into a certain shape to cover the buttons. Then a thin sheet of ally was massaged around the timber to cover the wiring and also to mount to the wheel. Turned out great.

Ryan1200 Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) Chassis harness just completed and ready for install. Around 1400m of cable at this point in the chassis with the engine and ignition coil harnesses still to do. Mentioned in a previous post we're running a motec power distribution module this is a electronic relay/fuse box that can be programmed to perform functions like turn on & off pumps/solenoids/lights and really simplifies wiring. Only the engine thermo fan and lights couldn't be controlled by the power distribution module as we ran out of outputs. Some clever stuff can be programmed with this module. One example is the 1st gear switch input for the ecu to lock out a transbrake launch/solenoid if your about to launch the car from a stop and your in second gear New adaptor plates made to convert speed sensors in the front hubs. Dash surround bracket. And the new 7" display thats just been released and for a change i didn't make a purchase just before the newer model came along lol Edited January 14, 2015 by Ryan1200 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/452268-r33gtr-drag-car/page/2/#findComment-7461128 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan1200 Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 Where did you get the Motec kit from if you don't mind me asking? What was the pricing like? Mate I'm not going to lie its quite expensive gear. I actually purchased the M800 back in 2002 and is still current today where some guys might have had to upgrade twice since the early 2000's to expand there requirements. Each purchase was spread out over a few different cars iv built so not one big hit to the wallet haha You can email any motec dealer and they will email you retail price catalogue. Retail is what everyone pays unfortunately. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/452268-r33gtr-drag-car/page/2/#findComment-7461637 Share on other sites More sharing options...
