Blank Cheque Racing

Little update on the Pulszilla - We are
going to have the current cage removed and a new national level cage fabricated ensuring the car is eligible for a variety of races and events.
We are expecting the work to be completed by
end of October.

Back in the early 2000s you couldn't attend a car show without seeing Scotts wild imported ex rally now road going Pulsar. Scott was also a regular at the 4,6 & Rotary nationals.

I first met the car and Scott in 2002 after noticing it from my HOT4s Magazine. After such time we struck up a friendship and have to this day.

I had the chance to aquire the car in 2021 and immediately went about a secretive process of brining this car into the modern era whilst keeping it's rad 90s vibes. The ultimate goal was seeing Scott back behind the wheel of the car and having a blast.

So first things first,

Initially we completed
New steering rackNew disk brakes all roundRepaired Gearbox New ball joints

We then focused on fuel system.
We found the fuel tank to be in a bad way, we replaced it with a new fuel cellRaceworks surge tankReplaced the aged braided fuel line with hard lines to incorporate moving to Ethanol.

Under the hood there were a few major things.
Installed a brand new Garret T28 TurboNew coil pack and ignition systemNew Blow off valve Cleaned up wiringNew turbo dump pipe New injectors

Then came the next challenge (the wiring and ECU)
Brand New wiring loomNew Link Fury ECULink digitial dashAdditional oil temp sensorsReplaced Emergency Kill switchPush Button ignition

Next on the list will be the big one.....
Billet block CA18DET with all the juicy bits. Equipped for 300+kw at the front wheels!

Hopefully GM Motorsport can start entering some of the events at Collingrove & Willunga in 2023

Getting the RX7 ready for the 2023 season involves a few Major projects and others that can be looked upon later, that being said the list evolves weekly.

Dan removed the gearbox and clutch last week. The plan will be to replace the clutch with a brand new twin plate direct clutch and also install a trans cooler. Ensuring the gear oil is kept within its operating temp parameters is key to increasing gearbox life expectancy and with the price tag these sequential boxes carry a trans cooler is a great investment.
