[BUZ440]

When the needle hits 180km your already not worried about it and concentrating on whats infront of you hahahaha :yes:

 

id be interested to see how your car holds up at that speed mate,

the dartos, you can pick alot of quick 4's up for about 10k these days,

 

everyone going forced VE and BA's

[SLW42]

yeah will hit that speed one day :yes: and i'd imagine afew things will shake and vibrate but it'll hold together, remember zip ties hold EVERYTHING hahahahahaha.

 

I'd prefer to bulid one for 10k myself personally :D this setup has cost me $10 so far so i think i'm winning

how'd you manage to fit the pedal box in there?? or is it just literally the pedals?

[BUZ440]

I can bring it around if you want to have a look at the setup,

 

its the whole setup, accelerator pedal and cable

 

brake pedal only, with one way valve off the booster

 

and modified clutch master (had to customise)

Yeah i'd like to see it in the flesh and have a good look at it, if you wanted to drive to the southside to show it off :P hahaha

 

So did you use the silvia/180 pedal box or just the pedals off it? How'd you go with mounting the accel pedal

 

Did you use the ke booster or the silvia/180 booster???

[BUZ440]

yeah i don't mind, might be a sunday job mate, whats the suburb first haha

 

just have to be a bit creative thats all, ill have a look and see where to go from there,

[SLW42]

Well today has been abit of a creative ideas session with working out these engine mounts, i have skyline rb30 rubber engine mounts, and one side lines up overrated, the other not so much(has about a 5-10mm gap at the bottom of the rubber mount - x-member, when both mounts are bolted in), close but no cigar kinda thing, so my ideas have been to cut the steel mount on the crossmember and bend the mounts to shape the ca steel ones, or just get afew bits of 5mm steel and start again,

 

I'd really like to mount the motor further back then it will sit with the rb mounts, it sort of sits off to the drivers side abit(well looks that way anyways), will see how bunnings goes tomorrow cause at the moment i'm just throwing ideas around

 

Cheers

[SLW42]

so here is a pic of the rb30 engine mount on the passengers side it bolts up overrated the drivers side not so much

 

 

only have a pic of the passenger side as it's the only one i'm happy with right now

[BUZ440]

Good progress mate,

 

have you already modified your drivers side block mount?

[SLW42]

nah havn't done anything to the drivers side yet it's just got a random mount in place, with the rb mount on the passenger side

 

The drivers side is yet to be screwed with cause this rain is pissing me off :bash:
