Absolutely would working with a friend on his car previous owner has really butchered this thing...

ok, I'll shoot grab some pics of it tomorrow morning! 

I have those, it's the lines from the bottom of the canister I'm trying to find in FAST as well. Thanks dudes. ? Sorry for hijacking your thread mate! The lines are re-routed they've put a canister under the driver side guard. Has anyone ever seen this? I don't understand the purpose of doing this.

Probably just because it's ugly.

That's an exceptional price for that front quarter cut ! 

Even here in Aus you couldn't get it for that price !

 

And that front bar will transform the front of the car.

Took me a while but I did it all myself, and I've never done any sort of body work. It's not perfect. I'll definitely be redoing it when it gets a little cooler outside. But here it is! 

Also, going to have to trim the turn signal housings a bit, they won't fit in the bumper/bar because of my FMIC. That's a project for another week.

Well done on that front bar ! 

You'll have to eventually fill in the cut outs where that center cross bar used to be as it will a flex point when you hit those over sized speed humps and parking bollards local councils put in.

I to start practicing your plastic welding skills via YouTube on the interweb ! ! !

That looks great mate. Makes me miss my 95 I had years ago. Nice Shepherd in the background there. Great protection. ?

Thank! I actually have a German Shepherd and a Beligian Malinois, definitely a safe home!

Forgot to ask, did you repair and paint yourself?

Yes, I'd never done it before so it's not perfect but neither is the rest of the car so it kind of fits? lol. Need to wetsand it. Eventually I'll have the whole car repainted in QM1 again but that's after the go fast bits :)

I was actually going to do that but I ran out of time, big care show this weekend that I needed to have the bumper finished for. Thanks!

Got the Haltech setup (platinum pro, wideband, boost solenoid), 750cc injectors, AEM 340lph fuel pump all installed. Started tuning and at around 4000RPM the clutch started slipping badly. Was making around 275HP when it started slipping. The OSGiken twin that came with the car probably took a lot of abuse in Japan, which explains why it was so hard for me to get use to. I've driven twin and triple plates before and never had an issue.

New XClutch twin plate rated for 850ft/lbs is being put in tomorrow, and we will resume tuning on Tuesday. Should be plenty for my plans with the car. Will update with tuning results. Probably 290-310?

Plan for early March 2021 or so is to go with a Precision 6062, 4inch stainless from turbo back. Hopefully live around 400-425HP for a bit and then late 2021 do metal head gasket and arp head studs.

Looks the goods mate, is the turbo hitting the valve cover? 

It's about 2-3mm off, so VERY close. Can't clock the turbo anymore without the bolts touching.

Lots of delays and incorrect parts shipped. But now she has a Radium fuel rail and 750cc Bosch injectors, so it's almost time to tune. Getting the downpipe fabricated the first weekend or May.

A LOT has happened since my last update.

Got the car back together in May of 22. Took it to get tuned, one of the injectors got stuck open at some point during a pull. Rather than see what may have happened for the tune to suddenly become rich between pulls, the tuner starts cutting fuel until he leans out the other 5 cylinders. Went ahead and did another pull and went to 22 psi on pump gas, cracked ringlands in 4 of 6 pistons and all of them except for the one with the stuck injector had detonation marks all over them. I found all this out after the fact. Tuner shut his shop down soon after, and blew a few other motors that same month.

 

SO... tore it down in June. Ordered new CP 9:1 pistons, Manley H beam rods, ID1050x injectors. Sent the crank off to Countersteer to have it polished, balanced and have a crank collar put on. Upgraded to PRP crank collar and PRP oil pump gears. Had the head decked and refreshed. Repaired/Replaced strut towers, and painted the bay. Now we're just waiting for the block to get back from being honed, decked and cleaned, and then we can start putting her back together. I'm curious of what it will make now though...

PSR GTX3076R Gen2 w/ 0.82 hot side
CxRacing thick wall manifold
CP 9:1 Pistons
Manley H beam rods
HPI FMIC
Cut and shut manifold
ID1050x Injectors
AEM 340LPH pump
GM flex fuel sensor
Haltech Platinum pro

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
