Jacko 2154 Report post Posted September 20, 2010 (edited) Look sideways at an Rb26DETT and they make more than 206kW at the flyweel! Verrryy Nice build, looks like a minter to start with! Big R32 fan Edited September 20, 2010 by Jacko Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
|ncary 0 Report post Posted September 20, 2010 Ha yes 270kW at the rollers is definitely far from stock. A bit of boost tickle I bet (or a lot) Get to ride in a 600kW R34 GTR in the next few weeks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi-Tek 3 Report post Posted September 23, 2010 Smallish update today. Roll cage is moving along, main hoop diagonal, harness bars, transmission tunnel bar and most of the passengers side door bars are done Chop chop!, seems this will be the only way to mount the passenger seat. Some dodgy plumbing of the clutch and brake lines from the master cylinders. Not entirely happy, will probably end up doing them in braided stainless with some banjo fittings over the next month or two. Currently what you can see runs into some bulkhead fittings in the firewall. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't want to see it going I'm only 28 Eddie , I was born in 1981 you see. I barely remember Bathurst 1988, '89, '90, '91 and '92 but still think these cars can't be beat by today's standards.

Dam with an rb28 some awesome numbers in the torque department will come up, see your still running twin turbos judging by the piping on the engine? what size out of interest?They are smaller response orientated turbo's since the car is used in hillclimbs/sprints and eventually targa.So the car is nice and easy to drive Torque wins races.

Hi-Tek 3 Report post Posted October 5, 2010 (edited) update before it rusts Yea, sorry Eddie, we've been a bit slack lately. I'm stuck in Wellington on The Hobbit and Willie is about to head off to the U.S for four weeks. Anyhow, flew home on the weekend. Got the master cylinders temporarily plumbed up and the brakes bled. Bled the clutch, drilled out any unnecessary brackets that aren't needed anymore before painting. Test fitted the seats and harnesses and managed to make sense of the wiring and get the car going enough to take it for a lap around the block. Also have removed the suspension as it is being rebuilt this week. This weekend (Mrs permitting) will be change the brake pads and refit the suspension. Passengers side, had to chop the floor out a bit to make the seat work. Door bars in with gusseting, also the dash bar bracing is done (just in front of the gear stick) Poor quality cellphone pic of the dash bracing Close up of the door gusseting Edited October 5, 2010 by Hi-Tek Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike 1 Report post Posted October 5, 2010 newb question - is there a reason its all been TIG'd? (from what I can see anyway). ie is that standard practise for roll cages, or the type of bar you've used etc? Just thinking MIG would have been fine in some if those situations and been cheaper/quicker for no real loss. Is all looking very cool though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
