Z4M GT4

[Vanne]

Awesome progress.. is this in Tassie yet? which wheel size did you go for? 18? or 19? and which tillett seats did you end up with? Steve is a great guy to deal with. I hope you didn't grab the low side ones? easier to get in and out of the car, but no wear near the support of the higher side ones.

would love to see this in person once you get it sorted

If i was at this stage again, id probably would have bitten the bullet and ordered the floss man WB kit.

Looking great so far mate

have you got any more info on the engine, that vanos delete is going to make it a pig to drive unless your flat chat. id also love to know what duration cams you went with.

The car is still in the UK.

I went for 18x10s all round.

I went for the B6 Screamer as that is the only one with FIA approval.

I wanted to keep it to GT4 spec and a wide body kit would have made it ineligible for Targa.

Cams are here http://www.catcams.com/products/camshaf ... UP_id=1533

You are welcome to come and take a look when it finally gets here !

Cool, will do that. Lol looks like the screamer replaced my fia approved b6f xl's .. you will absolutely LOVE these seats man.. ABSOLUTELY!!

[Mister-B]

Good luck!

OP, when the car is complete, would it be possible to come and see and hear it, before you ship it to Tas? I quite understand if you'd rather not, but this maybe the only time that most of us would ever see a true 'race' Z4..if not, maybe let us know when and where you are going to do your shakedown running?

Jem I was just thinking, it would be a good excuse to get a group of us together, to go and see the shakedown, to give Z4MGT4 some support..would make a very memorable meet up!

All looking good. Please keep the pictures coming.

Update?

[Z4MGT4]

Update?

Yeah, sorry. Work on the car slowed down for various reasons. lots of little jobs done, Electrics are nearly there. Diff and diff oil cooler fitted. doors on, seat in, etc. Next up is fitting radiator and plumbing and making up an exhaust.

Wow, awesome updates..

Somewhere along the lines you went from LHD to RHD, any notes about that? would really like to hear more about how you did that.
Ive been bumming and arriring about doing that for about a year now, but even after having most of the parts to do it, its still quite a job that I am not looking forwards to do...

(I wonder if I can run on track in oz with a LHD car?)

Just another question, and def not trying to poke at what your doing mate, cos I recon its AWESOME!!!, but did you re-weld the roof strut also? J schedule doesn't allow for having the driver head in the same position as the upper weld meet, unless you weld in the X.

But thats possibly a rule for building new cages, not pre-exisiting ones? not sure about that. either way, this is gonna be freaking AWEESOME!!!

Is that a diff oil temp sensor coming out of the diff casing?

Very very bloody nice!!

Changing to RHD wasn't a lot of extra work because we were starting from a bare shell and all the parts we had were from a RHD car any way. We had to make a hole for the steering column and weld on the column mount. We were also already fitting an AP pedal pedal box. It would be a LOT more work to convert a complete car.

I don't think there is any issues running a LHD car on the track in Australia. This was just a personal choice as I plan to drive it on the road also.

We cross braced the roof bar you can see it in this pic. Cheers

[Nictrix]

I dont know where I have heard this in the past but I didnt think that roll cages were legal in a road car.

[RedUn]

Of course they are, some road cars some with them as standard

[Vanne]

Hmm, can't think of one that comes with a cage from the shop. If your referring to the GT3RS thats not a cage like this one, thats a quarter cage, anything going forwards from the bulk head technically should have issues with rego, and MUST have helmet on when driven. Interiors are designed with soft bits so that when your head hits it, doesn't make your head collapse like a watermelon. anyways, thanks for the update, this is looking sooo good.

I cant wait to hear how you find drivability with the delete kit for the vanos. Should be lots and lots of fun. when is it slated to ship to Tassie?

[Z4MGT4]

3 years since my last post Lot of life happened in-between but the car is nearly finished. Not the build thread I was hoping for but here are some pics
