Oh im sorry i miss understood. Thats an awesome project though man. Are you going to try to get it registered for street use? What kind of final weight are you looking for?

 

Thats okay.
No, the car is for track use only. Im running in a Drifting race, called Powerdrift Norway.
But the main thing with this car is durability (Thats why the Chevy LS3 engine) and power.

The car itself is a excelent car for drifting, but the engine is not to stable, and it is heavy.

The final weight, I need to wait until its finished, but hoping for somewhere between 50/50 weight distrebusion and around 1200kg wheight.

 

Here are some picture updates. They where forgotten during the disasembly of the car the between 11. Noveber and 2. December...

 

Hi!
Time for build update!
In the last week I have managed to make a firewall, and im damed proud of it! It is looking nice, and is stiff.

I made a firewall out of a plain sheet metal, after I reinstalled the engine:










Don't be scared of the small gap between the firewall and transmission, I was needed to go offshore on short notice, so I did not finished cutting it out. If you see the black line, thats where I will cut it when Im back onshore again... Leaving plenty of space to remove transmission with out removing the engine.

And the brakes that I ordered the 1. December arrived at my fathers shop the 5. December. and they where huge.
Sorry that I do not have any pictures of them yet.

 

Finaly got some work done. Almost done with the gearbox tunnel.

The framework of the tunnel is made by 20x20x1.5mm square steel, so I can "Hang" the gearbox from it.

It has taken some hours making it, but I think its going to be great.

Here are the pictures:

 

Man... Im loving the build. Lots of excellent fab work and its turning out really nice!

I just wish your pictures were BIGGER and clearer! Its really hard to see all what you have going on in detail.

Good luck with the progress...cant wait to see how the tunnel turns out. What the heck was the previous fabricator thinking? haha

J.

 

Looking good. You definitely started with a **** storm. That firewall was horrible, the new stuff is looking great.

 

Definitely some major progress from where you started. This should be a great build, I've always liked Skylines, with the R32 being my favorite. Great work!

 

Sorry for the small pictures, but the origionals and large one can be found here:

nice work man! i love to see stuff like this.

i dont know if you ever got this answered, but:


that piece of ****, is a factory clutch line damper. its designed to make the clutch pedal softer and more forgiving so women can drive them easier (no ****).

 

Hi!
Thanks!
I haven't gotten any information abut it so this is god news (Gone straight to the trash can...)

 

Have got some work done.
The firewall is finished, and gearbox tunnel is finish. And so are the floor is also finished..
I also managed to install the S14 left hand steering and steering column, and it fits great! So the next step is to mount the pedals and everything under the car, so I can get the wheels on. Then I need to remove all the roll-cage bars, so my roll-cage builder can build a new WRC style one in the middle of january.

Here are pictures from the gearbox tunnel. The four pannels that is not mounted on the last picture, will be bolted for easy access to the bolts and connectors and so on:

I have managed to get some work done on newyears eve...
I managed to get the brake pedal assembly mounted, and Im happy with the mounting. I used a friend of mines Master brake cilynders, to check for clearance.

Next step is to remove the rollcage and make it ready for the new rollcage. Also I need to install all the old parts for the wheels so I can roll and stear the car when it is at the rollcage builder...

Recently I managed to mount the front suspencion on the car, and the front brakes. But the 18" wheels that I have needs spacers to be mounted...


http://gallery.mac.com/mortenkf/100064/IMG_0163/web.jpg

I also managed to mount the whole back wheel suspesion also, but Im missing some small things...

The rollcage is removed, only grinding on the old welds and replacing small parts of sheet metal left, and it is ready for rollcage mounting.

So this project is on hold util I get back from work in about two wheeks, and the new parts arrives...

Time for some updates. Since the last time, I have been extreamly busy prepping the car for Roll-Cage building, so I havent had time to update any of my build threads...

But the following has been done:

• Engine and Transmission has been taken out
• The brakes that I installed, is removed, but the disk is till there, or the rims wouldn't fit.
• The hols that was left over from the removal of old Roll cage, has been welded and grinned, so it looks nice.
• Mounted a temporary steering wheel, and got the car back on its four wheels.
• I primed all bear metals, so it will not rust on the trip over the Norwegian mountains in snow storm...
• Ordered a bunch of parts from Driftworks.com

The parts I ordered are listed below. Some of the parts was in rest, and they will send those parts when they arrive, without extra cost. The rest is in town somewhere, they arrived to bergen at 06:00...

• Whiteline Rear Anti roll bar
• Whiteline Front Anti roll bar
• Driftworks R32 GTSt Suspension Arm Kit
• Poly bushes (4 for the spindels, that cant be changed to Unibals)
• Solid Subframe bushes
• Driftworks Total HICAS Eliminator
• Carbon Fibre Roof Scoop
• Kaaz 1.5 and 2 way LSD
• Driftworks Lower Arm Front and Rear S13 S14 S15 R32 R33 R34
• Driftworks Control System Coilovers

Here are the pictures from the work I did, pictures can be clicked for lager picture:

 

The car is looking really good. Not sure what is up with your picture site, but when I loaded it, it crashed IE by loading page after page after page. Haven't tried it in Mozilla, but I need IE for work

 

Still looking good!

 

Hi!
I tried it in both IE, FireFox and Safari, and it works perfect in all of them...
