DCY R32 PRO Time Attack Car

[GeorgeGTR]

Hi

For those who don't know the car this is what it looked like last year.



It is my own personal road/track car but developments for the 2008 Time Attack series saw the car transform towards a full out track car. We are trying to get the car as light as possible, I am not to sure off the lightest Skyline but I have not seen another as developed as this one. Having missed the first round with the GTR it's all systems go to get it ready for round 2 at Knockhill.

The car has been stripped down and chopped up till there was virtually nothing left then we fitted a full roll cage and strengthened the chassis up. Here are a few photo's taken today. We are fitting all the body panels, hopefully to have it in colour in just under 2 weeks.















The car will be 8inches wider; this photo might give you a better idea of how wide it will be.





Hours of planning have gone into designing the car with everything in mind; the whole of the car will be flat bottomed, running cooling ducts to tank, brakes, box etc. The engine will be coming from our drag car, 2.8 HKS stroker, T04Z producing approx 850hp

I aim to keep this thread up to date as much as I can with plenty of photos.

Looking good George mate Will be Fantastic when she is done.

Did you mean a T51 spl turbo for 850 bhp??? The little t04z wont produce that sort of power.

I thought the rules in the Time Attack stated that you should contain the full chassis no tube frame??? George i am not being funny mate i just need to know.

No I mean T04Z it was worked out on the fuel cycle.
I will get an acurate bhp figure when it's dyno'd


As for the the chassis, it's not tube'd. thats just a roll cage really Mick.

The rules state...

Vehicles must retain the original chassis/body and if the chassis/body is to be altered in any way the alterations must be submitted for pre-approval to the Time Attack technical.
Has been and it's ok

No tube frame vehicles or tube frame chassis extensions are permissible unless part of the OEM structure as defined in points.
It's not a chassis tube frame, all OEM structure points standard

Space frame chassis of any description are not permitted, additional triangulation and bracing of suspension turret/mounting points is allowed.
It's not a space frame but it has got traingulations & bracing to mounting points.

I'd show a better photo of the interior so you can understand but I don't want to give too much away

Its all been done to TA regs mick

8" wider!!

what kit will that be then?

Dcy

I think you may hit a problem getting to run in TA with your new tube frame floor. there was a guy last year from scotland that was kicked out of TA for his cosworth having some tube work. BTW it had nothing like the amount you have.

[Barrie]

It has all been talked through with the organisers of TA - we didnt just go ahead with this without running it by the officials

[Lag Monster]

I think TA banned Andy gallachers Cosworth because he kicked everyones arse at knockhill the year before lol

[plkettle]

'Kin ell george you dont do things by halves do you !
That's a serious piece of kit you've made and I will defo be comin to a few races this year to watch the action

Was gutted I missed out on entry this year but i wouldn't have been much competition for you against that !

Can I please call dibs on a passenger seat ride in that during setup ?

Don't knock the wheels to you have tried em

I'd love to come over to Japan with it but it costs too much money, sponsors needed for that

Yep if memory serves Andrew Gallachers car was banned for having a tubed frame at the front ,im sure the boys in Scotland will look forwad to seeing the finished article at Knockhill .i also remember one of the managment team at TA telling me that that no tubes were to be used at all ,has there been a rule change ??

[GeorgeGTR]

FNMTEAM, I don't want to sound rude and I cannot comment on others cars as I have not seen them but as I already answered questions regarding the rules will post them again...

Can we step away from the rules now and get back on topic regards the cars build.
