    Paul's R34 Gtr Tarmac Rally (Re)Build

    in Motorsport Builds

    Posted

    Been pottering on it last few weekends. Red back evictions completed.

    Got a battery back in and redid some of the lugs to accomodate larger bolts into the new batteries poles.

    Fuel gague read empty with the fuel light coming on every now and then so I tried to drop in 25l of fresh 98 and it almost overflowed. So just drained the tank out with the fuel pump. Not sure what to do with the 65 litres of varnish I pulled out.

    Fingers crossed fresh fuel helps the cause and I can get it out for a wash.

    Brakes completely transformed, zero gripes with them now. Consistent progressive reliable pedal, endless stopping, didn't lock a wheel all weekend on very old A050s.

    Setup is:

    • Front AP CP5555 calipers, some might say are too small for the rotor but they work so eh
    • Front rotor 375x36/5mm
    • Front pads Pagid RS29
    • Rear standard rebuilt calipers with some Project Mu pads on stock solid rotors
    • Fresh BM50 + booster
    • GKTech ABS delete kit

    Never tarmac rallies with this, but did got along to a few in my 34 which I still have. Hoping to do a few more at some point in the not too distant future. 

    This car will remain track fun focused free from any rules. Getting back in to some events, some goodies to be added in due course.

    Doing the 6hr Phillip Island relay in it this weekend, with a few of the SAU Vic crew. Will be strange not trying to go full pace but will be good fun weekend with mates.

    You still competing in anything?

    When I posted this I started searching and found that some who cleaned them and rebuilt engines had zero issues while others had a high idle. 

    I ended up ordering it. So well see when it comes in. I didn't use a carb cleaner I used a cleaner thats safe on electrical connections since its all I had on hand. 

    I dont see any current tutorials on applying that coat do i just open the butterfly valves and coat the sides with it then let em close?

    Report back if you can, be good to hear how it goes.

    Should come with instructions on the tin I would think, I've never actually done it myself but I read up on it a while back. I have a high idle on my 32 post engine build - I had the intake paint stripped / cleaned, and suspect in that process the factory seals are now leaking a bit.

    From memory open them up, brush the stuff on, close and leave it to dry with them closed and it will form the seal.

    So you still have the factory coat in place yeah - you didn't scrape it off or anything? Elec contact cleaner is really gentle. You might be fine but me personally I would do the throttle coat, easier than pulling the manifold off again.

    Will have to do mine at some point when I can be arsed pulling it apart.

    You did! But I assure that ARD alternator I bought had very little use, definitely didn't even come into the car at all in the timeframe all these stories are referencing.

    Did I ever mention I used to live in the USA, and was married over there, and that my now my ex-wife is born and raised in Louisiana, which has absolutely no significance for Voodoo curses at all.

    (I bought the car right when I landed in Australia, entirely unrelated)

    Haha nice. I didn't realise the gravity of what you had been through at the time, was just happy to get nice discount on a virtually new up-spec alternator.

    Small world, thought I would have a read of your thread on account of funny title. Surprised it triggered the memory actually, here I was thinking I was pre-alzheimers.

    The alternator, while I am sure won't cause any trouble, definitely cannot harm anyone or thing in it's current state, on a shelf in my garage next to my dusty, amperely challenged car. One day will get around to fitting it.

    Help identifying this (Nissan?) turbo ?

    I should have held on to all mine! I think I gave the last one away to clear out space.

    That one has watercooling. But for that price you could EASILY get something far more modern, brand new, ball bearing etc

    I did have a high flowed one with a slightly larger compressor wheel that was ace. All the response of the stock turbo but able to handle an extra 4psi over the stock one.

    I have a load of stock ceramic exh GTR turbos lying around... I wonder if they will/have come back into fashion with the way GTR part prices are going.

    I spent a lot of time messing around with these. It looks very much like an early oil cooled version of the Garrett AiResearch M10 T2 as found on leaded N12 Pulsar ET Turbo E15ET engines.

    Exhaust housing has been rotated from the standard position to suit. T2 exhaust flange.

    See photos here. Particularly the second and third photos. In the second photo you can see that metal block on the exhaust housing, that you can see in your photo. Also third photo shows the core and oil inlet that matches yours. Used circlips for both comp and exhaust housing, and would suit your stated HP.
