Hi guys and girls. This is my first post but feel like I know a lot of you as I've been monitoring the site for some time. I have an RF #25 and have been building for 2 years.You could say I am in an enviable position as I live only 20 mins from the RF factory. I have a love hate relationship with Robert, he loves to take my money and I hate giving it to him. I'm only joking as we get on well really.I bought the rolling chassis/body option and have upgraded to koni shocks, AP brakes etc.I have a ZF transaxle with 3.2 ratio(lets go to Le Mans)and have a 302 with svo heads and b303 cam.
Motec m48 and DC&O EFI throttle body manifold.I have been racing a 240z for 4 years and have just sold it.We have a phrase in Australia (racing for sheep stations)and some of these guys in the sports car championship in Victoria don't like to lose.The Gt40 is my step up to compete with the fast guys and at least I have a handle on their temperament and ability.I enjoy reading the Forum and hope I can contribute and also get some Help from the abundance of knowledge you all have. Regards Ross Nicol
Ross, welcome to the forum. It has to be a bit of an advantage to live so close to the factory.
I hope when the GT is done and you start racing that you keep us posted on your progress.
Gary, Ross' EFI system is the same as what Wayne Presley sell as Wayne is the North American Distributor for that Company.
Gary,Hershal and others,
I forgot to give you details of my website which has pics of my cars.Gary I will add some of the efi manifold soon.www.abbeysound.com.au.
Regards Ross
Welcome, Ross! I'm interested to know what modifications were necessary to accomodate the ZF. Were you able to get the engine lower than you would have if you used a Getrag gearbox?

I have had to reposition the engine mounts forward and down lower to position the driveshafts for zf. Bottom of bellhousing is flat and flush with underside of chassis. This is as low as you can go and I am fitting a dry sump because the motor is so low and also for circuit racing. I'm not farmiliar with the Getrag gearbox Mark.
