What size is the tyre and do you know what camber specs? its pretty much the look I'm aiming for.

275/35 .. Camber specs are changing this saturday again so I'll give you final numbers then.. I think front camber will be somewhere like -4.0 and -3.0 at the rear, but i'll confirm on saturday.

UAS Pivoting Camber arms arrived.

Installation and re-alignment again this weekend to get the top of the wheel into the arch.

looks like a solid bit of gear.

So it has been a while since I've updated this and there has been a lot happen since the last update... So here goes!

Bought an ARC intercooler, Ikeya Rear LCA's and ARC (Auto Refine Company) fully adjustable sway bars

You can see the difference to stock sway bars here.. These made a world of difference to the handling. (I probably should've done them sooner)

Fitted them along with the Ikeya rear LCA's.

Fitted the ARC Intercooler as the stock one was looking worse for wear, and I actually picked up throttle response as a result!!

Now the front end looks so much cleaner!

Then we had an event to promote Gran Turismo Sport at World Time Attack and I had the privilege to be on track with many other great cars!

Also managed to snap a shot of Keiichi Tsuchiya with my car after I got to drive on track with him!

And now that all of the suspension components have been changed to fully adjustable gear, it was time to upgrade the brakes!

So final pic with standard Brembos on it.

Then we started to get to work and pulled everything off..

Cut a small section off the backing plate and the hub (part that holds the factory brake line in place) then fitted the adapter.

I love how good these things look and how massive they are!

So skipping ahead, we mounted the brackets and calipers and got to work on fitting the braided lines and modifying the hard lines to suit..

For the rears we used the Supertec bells as it was so much easier and has a big weight saving too, compared to the standard R35 units..

While we were at it, we upgraded to the BM57 as it utilizes a larger bore and improves pedal feel etc etc.

Finally mounted the rotors

Bled the brakes and used only the best fluid available.

Hosed down the underbody to remove any potential brake fluid lingering around.

End Result.....

I cannot begin to explain how big of a difference this made over the standard brembos, you need to experience it to understand, and i'm only using the standard brembo pads that came from factory with the calipers.

they certainly fill out the wheels!

[Robzilla32]

They really do fill them out. What size rotors? I have 350 but they almost look small in comparison.

390mm fronts and 380mm rears

So I haven't updated this in a while because no time/lazy.

A lot has happened in the past month and I finally accumulated the parts I needed to get things moving.

So here's a pic as it tells a 1000 words.




Expecting it to be tuned within the next 2 days on 98 and E85.

Parts added are:

(1.2mm Tomei headgasket is already done)

Kelford 272 degree cams
Kelford Beehive valve springs and Ti retainers

Tomei cam gears

ARP2000 headstuds

Plazmaman fuel rail

ID 1700cc Injectors

FPG twin 460 walbro in-tank setup

HKS T51R SPL BB

HKS 60mm GTII wastegate

4inch from the dump pipe down to an ARC 4inch titanium exhaust

Nice work

[GRKGTR]

Forgot to mention that I'm running a Haltech Elite 2000 with 4 bar map sensor and CAN gauge, also a rotary switch for boost control.

[sergi_dee]

Wow amazing build! Great transformation [emoji1419]

[jet09s]

Mint af build, congrats. Keep the updates rolling

[GRKGTR]

So tuning is finally complete!!

It's now making 364rwkw (23psi) on pump 98 and 472rwkw on E85 (30psi) and rev limit has been upped to 8,500rpm.

Kept it relatively safe because I care about the motor!. Will take it down to the strip and just do a mph run to see what it's capable of soon.

What work shop completed the work if you don't mind me asking?

[Darmanin10]

Awesome setup, some top quality stuff on this build.

Whats done oil control wise though? Still standard bottomn end?

[Robzilla32]

It is great seeing other people's setup and appreciating the hard work and $$$ that have gone into the build.

The gauges look great. Do you have a wider angle pic showing how they fit into the interior?
