R200 conversion

Fuel cell

Oil cooler

dual rear caliper setup

Hydraulic handbrake

custom front lca's

So a lot has happened since i last posted, i finally pulled my finger out and got serious about make my rs a full track car and got the things i needed to done.

 

So since the last post i have installed the R33 R200 diff, made custom hab carriers to support the r33 shafts and dual rear caliper setup. 

removed the headlights and made custom mesh grills with projector hid's behind them to allow for direct airflow to an engine oil cooler and straight into the intake.

Made a custom fuel cell with insane baffling. 

 

One of my best friends made and programmed an adrunio mirco computer which allowed me to montior and view engine statistics on the fly  

 

oh and of course i got some track time at the qld matsuri now to the pics.

 

R200 in customized Rs cradle

 

custom 24mm rear swaybar next to standard (purple)

 

Fuel cell

 

 

 

The adrunio computer and guage setup

 

under the bonnet shot, oil cooler with ducting on the passenger side

 

custom hub carrier

 

rear setup

 

custom front lca's

 

and a photo from at the track

Fuuuuuaaaarrrrk, serious business!

Still waiting for vids

[Rustyrobertson]

Here is some footage from Matsuri, not the best drifts, but it has tyre smoke and flame outs

I need a little more seat time to get used to the new setup so i can pull off some fully sick slides

 

[Barbbachello]

For once the skids videos are loading
