Hey guys,

Just kicking off with my first post. Name is Martin, live in Perth. Some of you may know me by my previous account name Hanaldo, I was a regular on the forums some 6 or 7 years ago... Still own the same R34 GTT that I did back then, but after 12 years of it being my daily I got yellow stickered back in December and decided to deregister the car and go track only to use it as a development car for my business.

 

I've owned and operated Unzipped Composites for 7 years, specialising in the low volume production of advanced composites including carbon fibre. A couple of years ago I moved into aero design, so that is mainly where the dedicated track car will be helping to develop, with Time Attack being the focus.

 

Decided to get back on the forums mainly for the motorsport section to help get the car ready. Couldn't get back into my old account, so started a new one. I know the rules re. non-SAU traders, I didnt come here to sell anything or promote my business - just would like to be involved in the motorsport community here.

 

Cheers,

Martin.

Haha I can make anything guys, but development costs can be insane. Prices for those sorts of things are reasonable, there's an unbelievable amount of work in composites that most don't understand. To make a front lip for any car, you're talking 50-60 hours and hundreds in materials for the tooling. I also use F1 standard materials and processes. So in 99% of cases, if something already exists off-the-self, theres not a chance I can make it cheaper. Better certainly, cheaper no.

 

Just had a look for photos but dont actually have many on this phone! Tried to attach some of the engine bay, not sure thats worked... cant remember how to forum!

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
