There's a great assortment of goodies there[:p] Looks like lots of fun to come And some great fabrication work there too[;^)]

rs232 not too slow - items updated every 10ms with a weighted (ie some more that others eg. rpm) update rate. Only problem when mapping you have to disconnect.

Give us a call anythime.

Aim is good but no outputs.

Nice collection of parts should all come together to make a nice track tool.

Mounted the seats - this was a real pain as the Sierra has a cross member that gets in the way.

I had to trim the seat bracket to get the front of the seat to sit in front on the crossmember but still allow the seat to go low enough for good ground clearance. Maybe it is just the seat I chose though? It is quite a wide seat (for my mega ass) and needed the high sides so the side intrusion bar could still be legally mounted high (it must be lower than the seat).

Nice Sierra to have plenty fun and go proper rapid !
Velo seats.. a top choice, i worked there for 14yrs !!

Good seats - they JUST fit though - mm to spare all round.

FINALLY finished the roll cage on Saturday :D

Harness bars and diff mount





Side intrusion.



And front struts.

Mmm I would like a proper cage like that. You going for flat boot floor?

Not much to report as have been in Sydney working a bit.

Engine has had oil squirters machined into block and have also been busying myself replicating the RS500 throttle body. RS500 throttle bodies are rare as hens teeth but a little while ago someone made some bare castings - I am now making the guts to it. I should have just bought a complete manifold as buying it in pieces has almost cost me as much.



Also got the dry sump pump - took ages to come from US - as I needed the power take off in the rear of the pump for a power steering pump.



Also started another rear beam for a mate so will take some detailed pics of the conversion for the cossie people.

Got some pics from a mate and figured out that the DJR sierra's mounted the roll cage to the front beam pick up points so going to mod the cage again [B)]

keep me posted on the rear beam Lincoln, (Ossie Cossie) i go back to Indo on the 5th October, will be back in Perth 1st December, but e mail still works.

Mounted the dry sump pump. Made this so it's low and forward so I could fit the power steering pump to the rear of the dry sump pump. Ended up struggling so will have to buy a group a style engine mount kit with straight arms.







Had to machine deeply into the standard power steering mounting to get the pump in close.





Power take off to mount power steering pump. Going to use a HD KSE pump as it is only 73mm thick.













Spigoted an adaptor onto the aux pulley driven by 3 solid dowells. Got a 50% crank pulley set and a %54 crank pulley set to try.











Engine is close. Have done the mountune oil squirters, deck height, solid lifters, cc and compression ratio and valve reliefs.



Got 7.4:1 with little piston machining so pretty happy.
