Apparently they're looking for more front grip and downforce.

Anybody know anything else about this car??
All I know is the motor is being updated and undercarriage.
They're going to bring it out for more time attacks...

[Dousan_PG]

ill try and find out
they body work is being done at my friends shop.
japanese are slow at emailing back though :(

[A Spec Products]

I've always liked their name

Garage Saurus

Urrbody in Japan be goin for that "GT" look

[e-autosports]

Ricockulous.. they didn't even cover the wheels! Crazy ass JDM's.

[McRussellPants]

hrrrm somebody paid attention to what the DTM cars were doing.

[racepar1]

VERY sweet custom bodywork! Add a splitter and some canards (which I'm sure they will) and that will look and function pretty damn bitchin! That shit is not JDM tyte, it's DTM tyte^^^! LOL! Doesn't this car hold the tsukuba record for s-chasis? 57.2 I think.

[slider2828]

Man... how do they do that? I want to learn... Is that like some resign? How do they even build the base? Straight fiberglass?

[drift-it]

they better put a fucking dinosaur on the side of that car

its super easy yo. you could even use a steel drum to make the contours of the fenders. and the car is looking good, i just have one question: if they're in japan, why not just use an s15?

you can take classes at your local community college(body shop), it's not expensive and you get to meet friends.

in japan, due to lack of S16 the s15 pricing is extremely high, a s14 is about $2,000 to $4,000 for zenki while a s15 sell for over $10,000.
it's a race car made to hit the wall, you do the math.
cheers,

PS: they do have a dinosaur decal, but it'e the one with 3 horn and walk on 4 legs.

sorry i had to. But the thread was already awesome.

Where can i find out info on lap records for tsukuba? Or do i have to just own every import mag ever for this information.

[ByeByeSti]

damnn, anyone have more pics of this thing somewhere???

Man, very bad ass.
I love track cars.

word. if you cant afford the classes, start using your imagination.

[a_ahmed]

wow awesome car, more on it would be great. I'm interested on their chassis build up and suspension build up. More videos/pics/etc... videos would be cool. :)

WTH is an S16?

[a_ahmed]

Uh, successor to S15? Aka S15+1 = 16? Go back to math class 101.

It never came out, hence lack of s16.

[slider2828]

He's making a Joke... Come on now...

[Aeroscraper326]

hrrrm somebody paid attention to what the DTM cars were doing.


Exactly. We should learn from the DTM series. MAADDD downforce and mega grip. Awesome series to watch.

I thought the Sunline Auto (I think thats the shop name) S15 held the S-chassis record...

[95KA-Turbo]

I've wanted to do a M3 GTR type kit for my car for forever, I just don't have funds or skills, so it'll have to wait until I have both.

[a_ahmed]

i dont get it, in one of the pix they bondo it, in these pix they made additional attachments or something that can be added/removed on the go like its bolted on as opposed to bondo'd on?

Well in either case more pix more pix heh

[jspec240]

wow never heard of them.. but a bad ass car!!

[Prok0]

You can see they laid down material on the bumper before they started forming the additional pieces..So I would guess that they just put material on top to form the extra aero pieces, pulled the material which was under them off along with the formed piece, and then made molds and made copies out of fiber glass, then riveted the fiber glass copy to the bumper...

That makes it alot easier if a bumper gets destroyed or if you want to sell them to people, you just lay some glass in a mold and youre done.

[rbs14kouki]

those attachments are for canards ... well i think !!! more pics.

[jspecusa]

what yellow s14? haha
sorry, my eyes were on the wide body bnr32 with abflug lip kit,bando mirrors, and panasports.
bondo was part of the tooling(mold) to make the part, the rest of the holes on the bumper are for canards.
funny, how they are still running old school nismo sideskirts from 1995.
cheers,

sam

[a_ahmed]

Aah okay, now it makes sense, good observation/knowledge, so that's why they are rivetted in those pics hehe... didnt think about it.

Cool.

[projectdrifter]

if i remember right that car made right at 550whp at 22lbs. runs a tomei individual tb with plenium. and a td07 25g (w5 wheel) and a bunch of other go fast goodies. love the car i run the same turbo setup on my s14.5

[jspecusa]

the car is now running T04Z, custom intake manifold with modified 50mm GTR ITBs, and ofcourse 2.2 kit.

what's strange is that it's only running 17x9 front and 17x10 rear now and it's got a kouki rear bumper with zenki rear valence.

oh I saw the car in person at TAS, but I only took photo of their BNR32 =P

[an_orange_s2k]

damn that looks awesome

[wylin]

yeh that cars gone through alot of permutations and was actually a white aero package S14 in the mid 90's.

one of my favorite cars definitely!

[IIIXziuR]

Their BNR32 is amazing, its styled just perfect!
There is a photo of it on display at the TAS in the March issue of Option2.

I pretty much drool over it non stop.

[jackjack]

very nice :yum:

[Silverbullet]

[MikeisNissan]

[Full-Lock]

[MikeisNissan]

[afro88]

Screw all those cars! The garage saurus r32 drag/super lap car that does a 9sec quarter and pulls a 56 on tsukuba capable of pushing over 1k hp is where it's at.

[MikeisNissan]

that is very impressive.. jeez

[racepar1]

[skylindrftr]

saurus FTW

how do you know its an apr wing? (lol i cant tell from those pics)

[ripnbst]

Hmm i thought i saw WHP..

Possibly a total noob qestion but whats the difference btw. brake horsepower and wheel horsepower?

[murda-c]

Brake horsepower is measured at the crankshaft and does not include losses from the transmission, universal joint/s, differential, wheel bearings, and tires.

Wheel horsepower is the actual effective horsepower.
