Its so logical I don't know why it isn't done more often.

Maybe he meant what I'm thinking.. ie why is it backwards? Is it a drift thing to push it rather than pull?

Excellent work by the way

Also the flat mounted IC's heat will want to flow upwarts due to the heat that wants to rise. From a thermical point of view V-mount is about optimal. I had a v-mount setup, and I never had a hot IC also didn't with slow speeds.

The key to efficient airflow is ducting the maximum amount of air into both the intercooler and radiator. At the moment it seems as if no air will get to the intercooler but once there are ducts in place to direct the air through it it'll be as effective as an FMIC. What most V-mount setups neglect is effective ducting and therefore loose the efficiency.

You still pull the handbrake mate. Look at where the master cylinder is

I rolled the car out of the garage for the first time with the kit on today to take some photos of it to document its build further. The car is ready to be stripped back to a bare shell again now to get everything painted and ready to be put back together.

Can't wait to see this thing goes sideways.

Very nice job done

Joeingo · 3rd January 2007, 10:37 PM

man that car is looking really sick, doing an amazing job with it!

Nice progress there, thank you for putting the Bee-R kit pics up . . . I was guessing for a while now, what exactly the parts of that R324 kit are.
So the rear arch enlargement seems to fit well on the GTS arches. How does it look under the wheel arches?

sideways.taff · 6th January 2007, 06:50 PM

Its not even finished and I've allready rolled it! Should be ready for the sandblasters in about a week or so

Cant wait to see this in action at a drift practice day.

Hi Sideways

great stuff I am seing here. Almost as mine, really. I am using a GTR as base, keeping the RB, design and produce my own body kit. and hope to get the quality in the car you have shown us here as well. I cannot find time to start the post up, its so much work. But really beautiful what you are doing.

How are you directing the air through both radiator and IC and will you vent it through the hood?

Cant wait to see it painted! How much wider is the body?
