BeeR32 build from the ground up

[BeeGTR]

Thanks everyone! It's good to be back! Thanks for the support and the props! My car was in storage for a year and a half, it was torture... Unfortuately I don't have a garage to work in anymore, but I do have secure parking and a shop I can trust, so The project is back on, but will be slower....

I've been busy moving and doing alot of traveling! I did happen to make it to Germany and race three laps on Nurburgring!!!! I also stumbled through the 200th Anniversary Oktoberfest in Munich!! I was not able (nor was I ready) to drive a skyline on the ring... If there's interest I can start a thread on the Pricing, schedules, open track times, race car rentals and liability. It took a few months on research and a bit of luck to figure out but I did it and it only cost me about $400 for the basic race car, two laps with an instructor(1 without, and didnt have time for the fourth), insurance, fuel and tires! And I was fortunate enough to arrive at the track when team Nissan arrived and shut the track down to race with their 8 race prepped R35's and 350Z's

So for the parts I have coming are....

-electronic cooling fan
-nismo Thermostat
-Samco Rad hoses
-ATI Dampner
-oil cooler and relocate kit (already installed will add pics)
-cooling fan for trunk
-reflective heat tape to make heat sheid around Exhaust
-HKS dump pipes
-Stereo......I will put back in 2 speakers and a deck cause I miss my tunes... Dont worry In a few years when I have a shop built I'm starting from scratch and gutting the car back to the frame, stitch weld the chassis, finish the car and race prep it, and bring it to Nurburgring!!


So my first concerens as you can see it to be ready for the extra heat that BC has compared to Alberta.

I would like some help with the dumpipes.... Before I bring it to the shop and waste time twice, can I change the Dump pipes from the bottom of the car, or does the intake piping above the turbo's need to be removed? If they do I'll probably end up changing the headers out then to, I just wanted to wait to finish off the intake piping at the same time as the headers for the next time at the shop. Unfortunatly I cant just work on it when ever I feel like it anymore....

So what type of headers does everyone recomend to use to stay with the stock turbos? I am planning on buying the Tomei Expreme's but I dont think there equal length.... does that matter with the car's firing order? I have seen these OBX headers and they look equal length, but I have never heard of them.... opinions??

My car will be in BC at the end of June so look for me in July at the autocrosses here and there in Kelowna and the drifting in Pentiction

Thats awsome man, If I had the money I would do the samething

[BeeGTR]

Nope, I literally put a car cover over it, put in fuel stabilizer, disconnceted the battery and walked away.....

I still got the lights in my back seat tho!! Once I finish the first stage of mods, I'm going to see if I can find a soild body shop..... I just dont trust anyone else.... nor do I want to pay someone thousands when I can do it for $40 bucks worth of bondo and aluminum.... Plus I want to find a carbon fiber shop in Kelowna so I can get a new trunk and hood made..... ANyone know of one???? Otherwise I'll drive it back to Edmonton to my dad's place and do it myself next summer....

I'm on the second page of your build and just found out about the premium member thing!! Just payed, it's going to help so much because all the photo uploading sites are blocked at work. So now I'll be able to make some decent threads!

Thanks archaeic_bloke and R32rb25det for the props, and money was why I stopped for a bit, had to sell and move to paradise! it's hard to afford everything and not work 24 hrs a day to pay for it....

So I did some searching and there are already alot of good links on how to drive Nurburgring like this...
http://www.heiser.net/documents/nurburgring/

If anyone wants any info let me know, all I can say it was everything I expected and some!! They have Driving Schools for about $2000 for 2 days where it's one day in class and one day on the ring. It's closed for the school so your aloud to use the long straight section that you normally limited to 160km/hr for safety reasons. You do about 500kms of racing in one day and it includes fuel, lodging, a VW socrroco, insurance, fuel tires, everything! It's actually a hell of a deal. If anyone else is interested I'm going back next summer, and we can get a group discount. It's around Nurborg which is the west side of Germany not in the east like alot of people get confused with.

If you wanna just go for a run, just arrive between monday to friday between 5:30 and 7:30 (subject to change without notice) and put money on a Nurburgring card and drive up to the toll booth swipe it (about $15 bucks a lap) and giver!! no helmet needed, no special license, no waivers it Awesome!! But be worned we rented a Mercades to cruise around Europe and planned to bring it on the track, but the rental companies have crazy paparazzi with powerful camera's and if they snap a pic of your plate, they get a cash bonus cause the rental company charges you for new tires, brakes, all fluids and possibly more.

Man I got some pics I wanna post but don't know how to load up pics through this site, it's why I payed for a subscription... All I can find is to add a link to the pic, but I can't use Photobucket... I'll email support and see unless someone can quickly tell me how..
