Well, as you may know our race car runs in production cars, ie we can't do anything to it except standard parts.

Which got me thinking......

If you were building a dedicated circuit GTR, not to any CAMS regs, what would you do?

And please don't bother with "build a carbonfibre body and drop in a mines crate motor"....I mean realistic :sweat:

STAGE 1

1. Strip all insides out and cage it

2. built buttom end rods, pistons,high volume oil pump, 9 lt sump, head to block drilled out, oil return from head to sump,ATI balancer and light weight pullys, JB clutch.

3. HKS 2530s ,cams, Trust front dumps and hard intercooler piping kit or TO4Z kit

4. power fc and nismo AFM(Z32 if TO4Z)

5. sydkid sus set up

6. UAS light weight tail shaft

7. fuel system to suit

8. remove air con and HICAS

9. new braided(spelling) brake lines

10. Trust TI 4in exhurst no cat

11. Run whatever rims came with car with sticky tyres(RE55)

12. Big ass cooling system

Most liky all i would do untill i had run the car and seen what i wanted next

Stage 2

1. Big Brakes 6pot front, 4 pot back

2. Cross misson or dog box depending on what the buget will take

3. new front and rear LSDs

4. Light weight 18in rims to clear the new brakes

5. Rebuild transfer case

Im sure there would be lots of other things but cant think of anything else now. I like the TO4Z. That would be a buget Car i would build. All comes down to how much money we have to spend.

EDIT: mostlikey added a vented CF bonnet and a computer with data logging insead of the power FC

Brad

hahah thanks mate but I would prefer double wishbones all around, not to mention 4wd :)

blk180 looks like you have had a quick think abou this too :)

how big is a to4z, isn't that a single? I was thinking 400kw+ would be handy.

nice adjustable suspension arms all around too....maybe Gary's suspension kit but I reckon a set of nice DMS shocks might be better suited.

Yer have had plenty of time to think about it but like most of us its just never going to happen but my daily is getting to point where it can be tracked bashed but not striped, no cage and only has 2530s.

HKS say there R34 makes 468kws with there TO4Z, 2.8lt kit and Vcam.

TO4Z is single high mount and the garret one will still pull 400+rwkws.

rb30 bottom end with a t04z, just built one for a friend it reaches full boost by 3100rpm and revs all the way to 7600 with standard cams and makes a tidy 370kw atw on only 18psi yet is very tackable and has huge amounts of low down torque. I would run a dry sump setup also and try to get 285+ size tires under the thing. Along with the other stuff people have mentioned in terms of weight and cage etc etc. That would make a killer track car!!

i've just acquired a tough built race engine - rb26 head on rb30 bottom, to4z (single) ready to go on along with most of the stuff the rest of ya mentioned. including full cage and some race buckets and grex alcon 6 potters. I will have dry-sump set-up to be safe.

i using motec so i can clear much needed space in engine bay--ie no air flow meters, new minimal wiring loom, all the standard crap/solenoids/pumps/vacuums etc bolted under and around plenum and everywhere else to go, battery to go behind the seats.

i have removed hiccas and will run standard box till it breaks then upgrade to PAR dog box.

should be thrashen it around at vic race tracks by october or november. and will also contest in gt sports series. i'm told it will qualify for this.

currently doing 1min 21.2 secs in standard porche gt3(385 horsepower at flywheel) at sandown so i can steer allright. i let you all know how the set-up goes but my times will speak for the set-up more than anything.

similar set-up by a sam mirkov in a white r32 sees him around sandown in 1min 15secs(on par with gt3 cup cars) which is dam quick so i hope to get a little faster than this.

i reckon whole set-up will cost close to 40k including car(mine cannot be registered-race use only) you need to be savvy, and take some risks with second hand stuff and utilise e-bay and forums. Buying engine already done will save you thousands but be sure to pull it apart and check it to be on safe side even if it does cost a little more to do.

good to see somebody with the balls to circuit race a car.. everyone else seems to be drag racing only

good luck nedi, the gt series is pretty damn quick, it would be good to see you out there! I would be very sure everything is legal there are some pretty strict regs or at least lots of special rules for certain cars....

giant.....what are you happiest about and what would you change? you would have to have the quickest circuit car on SAU :(

Cool...though 40k would be doign a lot of the work yourself?

Any times for PI or Winton in the Porka...im hoping ot get into the high 1:22s in my R32 GTST, curious to know how quick the Porka is at other Vic tracks

hmmm i reckon i am happiest about how much fun it is to drive! such a sweet engine when they are sorted. and a lot of satisfaction in sorting the car with different issues and knowing is faster as a result.

i am most unhappy about the weight they lug around!!

what i need to change is rear brakes, absolute shite

four pot a.p's next month hopefully :dry:

dunc the controller is still going strong too, great bit of kit

heading to dutton N.S.W Thursday morn

cheers Russ

LOL...dont forget to throw some serious coin at it for a close ratio box.

If only GTRs were built in the 70s without all the electro crap and safey gear that modern cars are built with, they would be half a chance of beign a bit lighter. Cars these days are even heavier so :dry:

    • Hey Murray, hope all is good. I took your advice and put the filler first then the putty. Seems like a much better result but i noticed there are still pinholes. I even had pin holes when i initially put the putty on the body filler. Do you think it has something to do with my spreader being f*cked? I attached some images. This is the intially body filler i sanded. No putty yet  Applying putty. Final result after using wax and grease remover can see the pin holes. I just noticed as i look at the putty application it looks wavy not sure if it's supposed to be like that or because of the spreader.
    • Hey all just wanting some advice. I’ve just compression tested my RB25det and these are the following results  Cyl 1 - 135psi Cyl 2 - 135psi Cyl 3 - 120psi Cyl 4 - 140psi Cyl 5 - 130psi Cyl 6 - 125psi   do these numbers seem ok.  Thanks in advance 
    • I must say - this is how I picture all R31s!
    • Rust repairs completed, doors back on! pretty much totally back together running now. All future repairs will be fiddly wiring getting everything back up to road condition.  hasn’t  taken that long considering the condition I got the sub. note my helpers keeping the back seat warm 😂
