    Ruddiggers Pulsar Challage Project

    Hey guys so you all might know my old project JAPSSS's , This was built for both street and drags however it rarely gets used for either of these.





    So with my brother we have gone in and picked up a 93 N14 SSS

    We are currently sorting parts and ideas

    ill try and keep a log of the build , problems and solution to aid in others

    Indeed, several people have discovered this and shared their learnings

    This is the culprit in question
    That device is a clamp, you tight it against the shock thread
    I felt very uncomfortable installing it and then removed it when hearing about the experience of others

    Yeah - the hex drive to clamp that collar in position are on the other side - the clamp is not great and can still rotate during usage

    it does come with a bolt kit, you have to make a plate to mount it to the lower control arms in the rear

    Factory mounted to a bracket that comes off the rear shocks.

    No and no , Ive checked with the guys in the pulsar challange and my cage builder there should be no issues keeping it.

    im going to pull it out and weigh it however im sure ill have no problems meeting the minimum , that this stage my brother and i dont have the time to for a replacement repair like this , however in the future it will be on the cards

    It not just the weight, it's the high location of the weight and it's impact on handling and tyres
    I don't know how heavy the N14 sunroof is but all the BMW E30 racers remove theirs
    But yeah - time pressures would put this lower down the list of priorities

    It's not that easy to get down to 1100kg
    Me and my car weight in at 1170kg (~25% fuel)
    Interior is completely stripped bare, including removal of the heater, aircon, etc
    (Hmmm, still have not removed the front electric windows, there's a few kg there)

    Yer i know the weight is high but i can tell you i highly doubt this sunroof is going to cause me to finsh last or first for that matter so yer back of the list for now , im sure if i get a few weekends free we will break out the MIG and smash it out.

    As for weight ive taken the power windows out already and and ill be cutting the intrusion bars out of the doors soon also will keep a log of all the weights and keep you all posted
