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 :)

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
