Oh Eric. Don't be cruel bahaha. You'll see it come to life very soon. Probably this next week and you might get to see it in person again.

Hey I love the build!

What Tow hook did you use before you started to turn it into a track car?

DatsunFTW · 12-06-2016, 03:43 PM

Happy Update!!

RJM Oil pump Gears went in

Had issues we couldn't figure out with spark and ended up figuring out that the cam phasers were on backwards. Fabricated seat rails and have been driving for the last 2 days. Everything is running flawlessly. Finally!

Now we go back to the track.... on Saturday

Last picture: first thought came mind installing some side view mirrors on fenders

Late update but on the 10th of this month I went straight to the track. Car handled perfectly and the motor ran solid. On the parade laps I actually blew up my rear tire (of course... never a dull moment with this car)... so I borrowed a friend's set of wheels to keep myself going for a couple of sessions.

It needs a tune desperately but I will be at Soho Motorsport for Ecutek next month on the 13th. I scheduled my 10pt. cage to be fitted on the 9th and will be welding it in myself. Don't mind the front fenders. I am working on making a one piece dry carbon fiber front end from the windshield to the bumper. All CAD designed and CFD simulated. I won't spoil it now but it's happening very very soon. All of the car will be remodeled.

Whole body will be remoulded. Plan on cutting off a majority of the exterior shell after the roll cage and replacing with dry carbon. Should be able to remove an easy 400lbs or so. Goal is 2400 with me in car.

Finishing up the CAD model before CFD sim testing. But here's just a slight view of what to expect.
