Hi,

First post. Thought you may get a kick out of what I am working ok.

It's power by a Nissan skyline RB25det engine. Fully forged. Turbo Garrett GTX 3582r

With the AWD atessa system with active LSD. Still got allot of work to do. These are some old pictures. Will post some updated ones next time it's out the shed.





Testing the new dashboard

That should move like an Exocet when it’s finished.

Well this lot will be fun to wire in. This mess controls the AWD system and the active LSD

Either a French anti-shipping missile or an MX5-based exo-skeleton kit car by MEV.

That's got so much potential to be scary fast with the Skyline engine and big GT3582r biggrin 500-750bhp?

The dash is lovely, what kind is it?

The dash is from a motorcycle. It has had a new face made. With dipped beam headlight where the neutral light should be. A rescaled rev counter.

I have made and programmed my own interface that takes signals from the car temp, rev, speed, fuel etc and translates them in to signals the dash understands and works with my new scales

It makes sense now, thought the clocks looked familiar, CBR1000RR clocks but the 9k rev counter threw me.

Impressive bit of DIY there mate... keep the updates coming.
