Gearbox mount

Neither the engine or gearbox mounts are finished yet, just fitted for now until iv made the sump, then once i take the motor back out to do the rest of the shell prep il finish the bracing on the mounts.

 

Started to make the sump, mesured it takes 5ltrs, so once im done i want it to hold as close to that as poss again.

Been at it again today, got the sump prety much finished! Left on of the sides open until iv made the new pick up, to make it easier. Also need to do a leak test on it once the welding is finished.

Thats as far as i got! My angle grinder died so need a new one of them befor i continue, next it to trianglate the engine and gear box mounts. Then get the rest of the sound proofing out and start the seam welding.

Not really alot to update,

 

Seing as its and auto shell and its going to be manual, a little work is needed in this area. I managed to get a manual brake and clutch pedal from some one on another forum, but there was no where to really mount it like on s-bodies, also, i could not find a slave for a 350gt or z so im using an s14 one, so.................

Holes line up but itl put the cylinder on the piss,

Thoght id update this while having my lunch today. This is going to be copied from another forum so some of it might not make sence, bear in mind this was all over last winter lol.

 

Time to resurrect this thread!!!

 

I was thinking of selling it and moving onto some thing else through out the year but in Portugal it worked and I came 4th so it's given me some confidence that it can work!!

 

Throgh out the year iv had endless problems with the car, mainly power steering and transmission. Iv cured the power steering by fitting a 350z pump.

 

So over the winter il be doing the following to make it a hole load more awesome!!

 

Handling is prety bad and it feels like a bus to drive, so il be fitting/making fibre glass doors, front wings, rear 1/4s, boot and bonnet, chopping out all the metal I can with in the rules! Also to level up the weight loss and make it handle better I'm shifting weight around in the car for better distribution by moving the rad and other things to the back. Il also be remaking alot of things in light weight materials.

 

Steering lock is a major issue with the car, loosing out in qualification due to weak angle so il be doing alot of work on the front steering and suspension.

 

The car is going to be corner weighted next week so I have an idea of what iv got to work with and then compare it afterwards.

 

Il also be fitting a v160 6spd box, this will be much better suited to the 3.4:1 diff I have now, which is alot of the problems I'm having with blowing boxes, ATM pulling away in 1st is like 2nd gear as it's so long geared!

 

The other thing I'm going to do if I can afford it is change the hks ecu out for syvecs and go for closer to 700hp.

 

To help with the power I'm hoping to freshen up the engine with rods, pistons, springs and cams.

 

Right, I'm off the rob a bank lol

 

 

Bit of an update, shes now prety much ready to go off to have the cage, inside and engine bay painted, 3 weeks after id planned but shit happens!!

 

More stripping, i forever seem to be unding nuts and bolts on this, its never ending :wack:
