Jochem's GTA V6 Turbo from Holland

Hi my name is Jochem, and I have a GTA....
I like the information on this forum, it helps me a lot....to understand my GTA.

The Alpine didn't move for 8 years..so you can imagine that there was some work.
It was standing in a renault showroom for years, but at least dry.

Some photo's..when i just washed the car.





















Some points that have to be done:

The tyers are wasted, dry cracks...all 4 of them.
The multi belt
Spark plugs
Oil...motor/gearbox
Brakefluid
etc

But the real problem was...that the car wouldn't start after it was driven.
The second start... only happend when I get a extra battery with jumpercables...

And the problem was not in the battery....
I was in the wiring ....It took a while but the problem is gone.

When I buy a "new" car, I always put it on a dyno (after some service) just to see how it runs.

This is the D502 with a catalysis so 185 hp instead of 200 hp.

So the logical thing to do .....get rid off the catalysis..






measure everything, ajust the machines and start building



Making the plate for the catalysis






Final result of the catalysis replacment









And then the mufler......sort off






A laser to pin point the middle








A bit of spit and polish




And the result.

fitted on the car








I don't need a horn anymore....

Nice looking GTA you have there. Thanks for posting the pics.

I like the ART stylee exhaust you have, do you not have Laws in Holland that you have to have the CAT fitted?

Jochen,
Where are you in Holland...I,m in Leiden & I have 2 GTA,s..1 with a 3ltr.24 vl. & 6 throttle bodies & 1 with a MID-ENGINE layout with twin turbos.

Eddie, I live in Oudewater a small town near Gouda and Woerden.
So that's not far away from Leiden...

I saw after we made it, that il looks like the ART exhaust...
But much cheaper

Yup when there is U9( CAT) on the car-papers it has to be fiited on the car...
But on the other side if the exhaustfumes are good, there is no problem.

I never mention it to the MOT man....if he is oke with it, so am I.

Hai Phil, I believe we have some of the same cars....
I noticed that when I was looking on the forum.

Only your cars already have respray's.....
But there will com a time.......when I'am a big boy...

Sorry for the orthography......it's been a while.


But I hope the people can understand my writing

Nice car and nice work, well done. Don't worry about your English it is much better than my Dutch!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Jochem,

Nice work, very nice fabrication and welcome to the forum

You certainly have a great workshop that you can play in, much envy! What do you make there normally out of interest?

Martin,

Everything stainless steal

.

Well very nice, may be you could sell a few on here?

Were those mandrel bends that you made up, or pre-formed bend sections? I have a bend problem I need to solve, as the exhaust chaps that did mine made the bend one side very sharp and gives up much on flow So thinking of chopping the bend out and welding in another section.

I used to go to Leiden quite often a few years back. On one trip I went to a garage near the rail station which was just full of Alpines. I just wondered if that garage was still there. Next time I'm going through from Ijmuiden to Brussels I will have to look you up. I also have a GTA V6 Carbed 1989, which is still being sorted.

bebren25,
I,ve been here 13 years & don,t recall anyone by the station...I used to work with Jan Postma "Alpine Specialist" in Freisland, but now do little bits for customers here in my workshop...get in touch next time your coming through & a pair off swetty socks...or are you in the oil game... can have a beer together...I,m origonally from Edinburgh.
