That was Tommy Kaira's successor to the ZZ, the ZZII. It was mentioned to have a rear facing RB26 in a mid/rear engine configuration with 550hp in an aluminum body. It supposedly ran 4WD as well. Basically TK built this one off car (the blue one seen across the net), then they went bankrupt and Autobacs bought them. The car was then renamed the RS-01 under ASL (Autobacs Sports Car Laboratory) and I believe may have eventually had something to do with the Garaiya that ASL also made. I could not tell you if any were ever sold or exist within Japan.

Sorry for going a bit off-topic

Hi

Really nice build on you car. Ill hope all turns out as you expect.

I have a small question though.

When driving a car with McPerson suspension everyone says double wishbone setup for better geometry during compression, rolls and so on..

You are doing the opposit ??

Im not after all the trix in you book but im still qurious why you went this way.

Hi Martin
Thanks for your comments! As you said the double wishbone would be better than a single Mcpherson setup but as this setup cost a small fortune a double wishbone was out of my price range.

The setup which has been designed for my car has hopefully delt with the problems a standard/after market setup has, weight, roll centres, caster, camber and chassis rigidity.

But the proof will be in the pudding so we'll have to see.

Cheers
Neil

Thanks for the answer.

I do understand the cost issue. I have talked with a few chassi companys about new setup for my Cosworth and the cost is a bit scary

Good luck, ill keep watching this thread

Regards
Martin

Neil, can't you hurry this along I'm getting bored of waiting, I need to go racing with you.

neilo · 12th August 2010, 08:36 PM

jaycabs · 13th August 2010, 01:02 AM

Nice work, keep it up, great to see we're both doing similar builds without either of us knowing about the other untill recently, and one being for drag and the other for track is doubley awesome.

Robbie.

Maate, long time no speak!

I see nothings changed, you're still as mad and committed as ever.

Very impressed with what you're doing, good luck with her

Hi Neilo,

I just wanted to drop a quick line as I was the first to start this type of project on this forum. There is only a very limited # of such dedicated from scratch builds, I wish you all the best in finishing it.
I wonder if we ever get the chance to compare the two cars, my GTR32 and your GTR34. Targets are similar, power is similar - should be a great showdown once ready

We seem to have similar taste too, was talking to Ron about an Inconel Manifold that originally was initiated by you as I understand.
My Trust manifold cracks alot, was looking at your ceramic coated manifold but thought of going Inconel.
Any pictures of the manifold?

Great progress, like the R34 so much
