Wow what a machine 👏

huge fan of that intercooler setup! care to share the recipe? is it a cusom make intercooler or purchaseable kit? rad stuff dude!

May I ask. What metal is that car frame? Please let me know.

Let me tell you! Seeing your build has inspired me to start in my lil apartment garage lol loving the custom work. I appreciate you sharing the details & giving some inside. Very inspirational. Hopefully I could see this in person some day.

I’m about to start this process with my competition drift car which was an OG 96’ type x 😢

One of the most beautifully designed builds on the planet, IMHO. Simple, eloquent, conservative, perfect balance of form & function. The less is more approach, isn't easy to pull off with skills like Nigels. It's easy to get carried away, showcasing fabrication skills, by dressing up parts that don't offer much more than aesthetic. To pull off those wheels, takes so much knowledge, to control the runout. Stainless steel can be very unforgiving, & make you pay for the smallest mistakes. You need laser precision & patience to pull out a wheel within a few thou. runout. SS does not like that heat & lets you no instantly. (wish he showed a clip of the wheel straight on, spinning with the dial indicator, to see where it ended up). It was one of the best builds at Born free that year. Handmade chassis, wheels, intake, exhaust, all pristine, topped with a classic wassail tank & a skinny lowbrow duck bill fender, to tie it all together, making it the perfect touch for that event. That carbon fiber spring for the girder was a nice touch too, especially on a chopper! I don't particularly like BMW, but I do love me some hand built 1-off choppers, & that it was! He couldn't have picked a better tire than that 18inch, MH drag slick, tucked tightly under the fender, to set the mood, Nigel is a straight up Legend! Would love to see his take on a vintage Harley platform.

Will there be performance upgrades?

Still missing this car after all these years ❤

this is owesome.....

After building alot of race cars over the years I found that my jig needs to be about 30 inch wide and then I made slider that will hold heavy parts to right htg and square

Awesome video mate fantastic information

Man be quiet and let me watch the drifting already damn

This is gonna be amazing!

Looks good….but the sound is not Flat Track ! Just a thought. What does it weigh ? Thx 👍

turbo?

How do I go about buying a race engine 😅😅

do you build your own mtb frames??

I'm a bit late to the commenting party here, but I have a question. I notice you have a few 3 phase tools/machines in this shop. Do you have 3 phase power in the shop, or are you running them by other means? such as a VFD etc..

能請教前下巴是用什麼車的嗎？🙏

Sound?

I just ran across your channel, your craftsmanship is amazing, great work 😎

Can it possibly get better than that.

Beautiful build. I'm planning to do this on my KTM 625, what width rims did you use? Seems wider than 2.5" is very hard to find in the EU.

very inspiring stuff

Hi Nigel, could you please tell me what profile (dimension) you used on the skeleton of the garage? Garage looks awesome. Thanks

Machine...

Where do you get decent casta wheels from

Awesome Rickman, beautiful Triumph music, and loading it into a Rad Van !!

A garage (and skills) a majority of us dream of, thanks for showing us around, very cool!

I feel the Einstar work better than this scanner. lol

It's a beautiful bike. The workmanship is exquisite, more like fine jewellery than industrial engineering. The welds are world class, and the wheels are both inspired and inspiring. Nothing but admiration for this achievement. The only thing that I would do differently is the front suspension. The girder forks are magnificent, but personally I would not use carbon fibre for the spring. Carbon fibre has many admirable qualities. It's incredibly light yet remarkably strong despite it's diminutive weight. However, as it's a synthetic composite made of flexible woven mats of carbon fibre material impregnated with very strong resin, that's laid into or onto a mould of the required shape in a process similar to glass fibre construction, then placed inside special chambers under high heat and high pressure, which dissolves the resin throughout the carbon mat, prior to hardening as it cures, bonding & fusing them together, and permanently taking the required shape of the mould, the resulting material has properties & qualities that are extremely desirable, and others, not so much. It's great strength to weight ratio works extremely well at resisting certain types of force, but due to the nature of it manufacture, it's light & strong, but also extremely brittle. That's why it's ideally used for items like the central tub in racing and exotic sports car construction. The carbon tub needs to be light, strong, & stiff to resist impacts, protect the driver in a crash, and be able to support the entire drivetrain, and complete front & rear end's bolted to it. All of which it does well. One quality not so desirable for the tub is flexibility, which is fortunate as carbon fibre doesn't possess the qualities & properties usually synonymous & compatible with flexibility. It's very brittle laminate construction doesn't handle compression & deflection very well, like squeezing or bending forces from being placed in extreme pressure environments such as the deep sea, especially combined with high cyclic repetition which exacerbates the stress on the carbon fibre. It's the reason why the Titan Submersible imploded last year when the carbon fibre centre body of the submersible suffered a failure. Under the immense compression exerted on it over 3 km underwater, it probably started as a microscopic crack that quickly caused a delamination failure and subsequent collapse of the centre pressure vessel. Metal alloys are far better suited to these kinds of forces & applications, due to their more flexible & elastic nature, and ability to resist and absorb deformation & deflection in repeated cycles almost indefinitely using the right metal, or for a long time at least. Conversely to a carbon tub in a racecar, springs require flexibility, elasticity, & resilience among other qualities. For which carbon fibre isn't ideal. However, I'm no engineer or expert. Just an ex-motor mechanic with enough knowledge to get myself in trouble. I wouldn't presume to have your skill in fabrication or welding, and only make welds that look like that in my sleep. I may be wrong and the carbon works fine. But for my 2 cents worth, I'd prefer to use alloy steel. I can vaguely recall an exception, but it's why fibreglass has almost never been used to make leaf springs for cars, having similar properties to carbon fibre. But I suppose, if it cracks it's not catastrophic. Just ride home carefully and come up with an alternate design. Beautiful bike, man.

Curious to see what you think of the scanner. Ppl have said it’s just another knock off Creality scanner and doesn’t do a good job at scanning cars. Nonetheless hoping you have a great experience as the price point is amazing

This will be a pretty epic build

what a beauty machine you build mate,love to see your S15 grow...i've been love it since the beginning

I got to meet you and see the hilux at the Summernats and it was so much better in person than what you can show online and this new build is already going WAY beyond that. I would say that I'm following this build but I have been following your progress since the hilux was featured on buildthreads all the years ago

I could really benefit from you walking through your suspension design. Thank you for the willingness to share your knowledge!

Really missing your S13. Hope you’re still having it

5:36 camber curve and roll center is moot while hitting big dippers and pitching the front as you're showing here. You need to roll the chassis then check the figures

excited about this build! I know its gonna be sick!

For the scanning use ‘dry shampoo’ spray from the shampoo isle at Woolies and it smells nice :) it’s a light spray on talc powder

Hi Nigel, unreal build as always. Curious how you got the RB25 transmission shifter to come out in the factory position!

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Super sick! Hoping to see more of the process of 3D modeling and how you apply everything with making parts. I don’t care how long the video is.

Id love to sit and chat about motorsports engineering for hours with you. I want to know what Nigel does Monday to friday are you Flat out making courses for your section of Hp Academy or do you build other stuff for customers we never see ?

Ice work man

I love to see your self and @obsessedgarage come together and build the ultimate garage space

Following this build from the other side of the globe, wow! I can't wait for what's coming! Cheers!

“Haven’t seen this in the search results… no way!”

Bloody awesome

That is insanely gorgeous. I would love to own an R18 done like that 😮
