Yeah well was dropped off 2nd November and leading up to Xmas said was just snowed under with cars to fix etc, apparently was just a fuel pump to install and AFM at that time  but that was around Xmas when we spoke about it. Why would they want to push a car in and out the workshop daily when it just needs a fuel pump and start it ??

Been an awesome day, the tuner wasn't expecting me to drive it home so we went out for some very basic road tuning to make it drivable.  She's running very rich, so can't put much boost in or it stutters but the thing is very lively, was pulling well without even any boost, gonna be a weapon when tuned. I pulled into a servo to fuel up and some old Indian women in the car opposite, her look was priceless, haha, so disgusted with the sound of the RB haha.. 

Mod plate and some more fabrications like flexible joint in dump and blow off valve recirc next then a road tune followed by a few runs on dyno to further fine tune things.

Been trying to tuck the exhaust up higher, it was 2inch off ground , has to be 100mm at lowest point.  Shes now 75mm front and bout 90mm at middle muffler.  Cant physically go higher cause theres 10mm between middle muffler and the body.. will have to keep raising the coilovers ?.  Im expecting popo pulling me over so want it legal height and mod plated before driving again, i know a guy who can do it so thats next thing..

Isn't this thing a race car or something?

Why number plates and driving on the road etc?  Put it on the track.  No police.  Solved.

Cut and raise the floor, lift the exhaust.  Solved.

:)  in truth, looking ok.  Just give a few more updates, presume it's actually hit a dyno and you're moving onto the next problem areas to solve.

Finally hit the dyno, the 1000cc x spurts at 85% and walbro pump at its limits also so stopping here.  Didn't get chance to play with cam positions and was expecting boost on earlier but it's got plenty of grunt on the street frying the 275's in second.

Had a big win today, the exhaust although sounded great under boost was droning and too loud in traffic so I made a holmz heltz resonator chamber.  It's maybe working too good as its super quiet now,  who would of thought a big cannon could be quiet and  cost me nothing ?... my welding is super amateur but it works ...

When I get time I'll make a series of different lengths and fine tune it..

    • The spray cans were in the "Kiln" room whilst I was preping the parts,  so probably around 2 hours to get them warmed up, the kiln room has 3 small ovens running at 100°c, 3 medium sized ovens running 100°c, and the large one I used running at 80°c, the room itself was about 28°c, I also spent a bit of time taping up the parts in the room as well, and by the time I was done I would assume that the parts were around that 28°c As for power, I expect a couple of Killerwasps up high would be achievable with the current mods, I'm still running the MZR 2.0 intake and throttle body, and there is a slight mismatch with the 2.0 intake (smaller) and 2.5 intake ports (larger) on the head, this intake is matched and specifically designed to fix this issue with the ports mismatch, the throttle body is also a couple of mm larger, OEM is 65mm, the Bosch is 68mm In the end it will look "prettier" than the molded plastic thing that is the OEM MZR 2.0 intake As for the LSD, it's the OEM Torsen which works fine for what I use the car for, plus, basically no maintenance apart from the occasional oil change
    • I was at Tunehouse in Marrickville (great team over there really know their VR's) , and I spotted this Very clean R35.  
    • Mate , I have the same issue right now with the exhaust noise , if you can tell me what your local guy did , I'll talk to my guys and see if they can do the same. Power is good but it just too loud when put it down. 
    • The other trick I've found with wrinkle black is to put the can in hot water for a bit to warm the paint up, and to pre-heat whatever you're painting. It'll be interesting to see if you pick up any power with the intake, following with interest. Got a proper lsd for this?
