Whats the plan for diff? I've got a 300zx z31 long nose r200 set up for mine with commodore / 31 brakes. Shame to see one so original going agricultural is it as nice as the pics look?

Also has he driven a 400 kw sub 1000kg car before? I'd stitch the frame n put some decent bracing in it to stop the bending.

Also if theirs e85 near you high comp + turbo + lots of timing = response

it is a bit old. however...

car is currently having body work done and getting engineered for the engine ans so-on

it is having some firewall work done to run aircon and some other bits and pieces.

engine is coming together slowly but allot of time is going into the engineering side of things to get it rolling and registered and to be "correct" for the major modifications later on. do it once do it right... just takes time.

some random photos.

Update from McDonalds Brother Racing: 

Rear clip fabrication almost complete, 9" full floater getting closer, Billet shafts, Willwood brakes and coil-overs. ETA to the car for fitment; mid to late next week. Might even be a roller for All Jap Day "might".

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
