Trailers, mmm I think we will build one, see exact costing and go from there. I only want a very very basic one. No tyre rack etc. Will be around end of the year I reckon before we look at building on

Spacers on, so much less hover-car-ness

Also some more plasti-dip action (rear gill things)

Also tried my kakimotos on (won't clear brakes without spacers)

Really wish i had a full set :(

Have mainly been working on fixing up wiring under the dash, installed gauges, electronic boost controller and removing more sound deadener. Also mounted new wing, and working on front splitter to balance aero :)

Looking good fellas!

I've seen your car out at Shaw(?) a while ago Funz and wondered what was happening with it, good to see you post, you should start a build thread. What's the purpose for the car...sprints, circuit racing?

Before I call an engineer, can anyone tell me if height adjustable/damper adjustable coilovers can be engineered in Tassie and if so what requirements do they need to meet?

I've looked through the Vehicle Standards Bulletin 14 but this only talks about changing from one suspension design to another (i.e. double wishbone to McPhearson strut), there's no mention of specific requirements that a coilover shock must meet.

Looking at BC BR Type RS which don't have pillowball strut tops or adjustable camber plates.

Hmm that's interesting, I was of the impression you could but wasn't certain which is why I was asking. I'm sure I've seen cars advertised saying they are mod plated for coilovers. It might be best to just speak to an engineer, thanks for the input though, I was hoping someone might have been through the process already who could give me a definite answer

For anyone interested, I spoke to an engineer today who said you can get a mod plate for height adjustable coilovers providing they cannot be adjusted below the minimum ground clearance of 100mm.

And just to cover myself....talk to the engineer you plan to use before purchasing new coilovers ;)

Maybe call the guys at Drummond, proper motorsport shock and spring set and aren't designed to be super low. Mine feel light years ahead of the previous Japanese brand coils that were in the GTR.

so over xmas period i had mandatory leave period so decided to have a proper crack at cleaning up and painting the interior and cage. Managed to find paint in a can that was near spot on to the original interior colour which was good, even a green paint that was so close to my cars colour lol

(remember, I'm not a professional painter, it's not the best job but looks 100x better than it used to, and also.. im lazy)

Also gauge wiring is nearly done, only need to wire up the source wiring to the DIN rail to run everything :)

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.

      So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
