If you could do it cheaply I guess it makes sense... It would be an interesting comparison though. Do it and we'll have a track off in 12 months time somewhere :whistling:

I have the engine figures here at (including transmission)

SR20DET 490 lbs / 222kg

RB25DET 667 lbs / 302kg

You'd have to allow the greater weight of the RB25 box vs the SR20 one (20kg?) in the above to compare the engines themselves.

VQ35DE+T in an R32 GTS-T (or an R33) could also be an interesting one?? assuming of course it can be made to fit relatively easily. In a few years when the cost / availability of the engines is a bit more down to earth.

sounds good to me. let me finish with my GTR first, then it's SR2032 for the win! 80kg weight saving is not bad at all. hell if you had some dough to spare just build it up as a tomei 2.2 and like I said use GTI-R valve train and the quads (need to adapt to NS mounting though). It would be a very nice track car i reckon.

Just strip it, get radiator, oil cooler, sump, some proper gauges, suspension and a roll cage and you are done.

Then spend the rest of your money on tyres, petrol, oil, brake pads/rotors and every single track day you can get to.

Project cars with a million horsepower are great... to poop on!

Ok using IPRA regs from memory

R32 RWD (min weight can be 90kg lighter)

strip interior, seam weld shell

8 point cage with lateral bars at a/b/c pillars and front strut bars.

'Glass front dam with splitter and undertray (push that as far as the rules will go)

Polycarbonate windows

Everything above the axle centreline either gets mounted onteh floor or turned into plastic/CF/'glass (where applicable)

Flat floor with tunnels (I can't find anything to say you can't do it!) :(

Turn P/S from mechanical to electric pump (not as expensive or as hard as it sounds)

Here's the bit that'll freak people out

RB30 Naturally aspirated with double cam head

12.5:1 CR

50mm ITB's

Big cam

EFI Euro96 ECU

Bosch 044 pumps X2

Aiming for 350-400hp at the flywheel

Why?

Because then you can run at 1225kg min instead of 1455! Turbo engines have a 1.7 equ factor so a RB30 turbo is a 5.1L (1455kg RWD/1545kgAWD) and even a RB26 is the 4.4 so it falls inteh same weight class.

Exedy clutch with light flywheel

A Hollinger would be nice but I think that's getting a little too much

Suspension

custom bars

Koni 2812's (if budget allows)

Otherwise Koni yellow

Eibach springs (I'm guessing 300-500lb)

Fiddle with geometry/mounts/bushes

Brakes

Bias bar

Brembo's F&R

PFC rotors and pads

Quiafe/Torsen LSD

Digitek logger with dash and as many sensors as I could afford (shock pots, steer angle, etc)

I think I've blown the build budget for the year so far.

But then, if you want cheap, buy a Playstation! :)

But by the tim eyou have all the Data Acq gear you could have a pretty quick car...though i suppose to have areally quick car you need it...meh, im slower then the car i drive at the moment so i still have to try and catch the car :banana:

LOL, the DAQ gear is there for the drivers benefit more than the cars most of the time.

TRADER!

You choose a nissan because your a nissan man...who cares if its cost practical or not...I wouldnt care if it cost me three times a porsche to make a gtr just as competitive. It might take me three time longer to do, and complete but hey im loyal :D

Im gonna get a sticker for the back of the 33 racecar. BANNED FROM TOURING CARS FOR A REASON! if your reading this then you know why :D

Funny how they werent banned from Touring Cars, but yeh.

Interesting to hear you think its CHEAPER to buy a GT3???? From what i have seen a decent Skyline, bet it GTR or even GTSt will be close if not quicker then GT3 Porsches.

A GT3 Cup Car is another thing, much quicker, but still surprised you think its cheaper to buy a 200k ex race car rather then spend 40-50k on a GTR, and im betting the GTR will be as quick as a Cup Car

you can buy a older model GT3 cup car(Track only) with cage and MOTEC for around the 130k-I have spend 100k on a R32 GTR before and it was quick but when it came to cosistant lap times at Qld raceway the Porsche was faster, more reliable and better engineered all day every day(and this was with a well known V8 Supercar driver doing the driving of both car)

GTR's are good but by no means the be all and end all- I have had 6 of them but no more

How many Porsche in the top 10 at targa this year??? ummm any GTR's???....

And as for being called a trader by num nuts(R33 Racer) i have had 30 plus Nissans over the last 10 years and at least 15 were Skylines and 6 were GTR's

Edited by gtr660hp

as in no more turbo cars...back to only 5.0 litre v8's. Not going into hardcore tech here..just being general.

ok was only joking about it mate....christ almighty...the internet warps everything you say unless you specify it exactly.....hey this is sarcasm or hey this is a joke...im guessing that much as you are on this forum and didnt join yesterday :( no need to go calling names buddy. Dont actually mean that your a trader...geez. Just that your thinking impure thoughts by suggesting the porsche idea... and once again im being dead serious...people need to lighten up abit.

Edited by r33_racer

our car hasnt been beaten by a porsche yet! :wave: ever!!

and we have raced many and we havent spent there kind of money either, gt2's & the bi turbo gemballa, cup cars whatever , we have been faster on the track and in a straight line.

nissan all the way

cheers russ

Fair enough, but i dare say you have spent money in all the wrong places...as i can seriously spend 50k on a a number of cars and you will be quicker over a number of laps. If you are talking about getting 30 laps out of a set of tyres rather then 25 yeh then maybe.

Its all a game in spending the money in the right places....

Ok here is an example...

Series 8 RX7,

Completely gut the car, put in a full cage, 15k on suspension and wheels, 8k on gearbox and clutch. 25k on engine, fuel system and electrics. 5k on brakes. 5k on ReAmiya Aero parts. The car as a race only import is only 10k. Say another 5k opn race seats and harnesses. I would gladly bet my money on such a car beating a GT3 Cup Car....most definitely wipe the floor with a road GT3.

Throw those numbers at any decent platform and you will end up with a quicker car. At the end of the day a Cup Car weighs 1240kg and the engines are sealed GT3 RS engines...so whats that 260rwkws? Those numbers arent that hard to beat with turbo Japanese cars, especially if you are throwing Penske/Ohlins/Proflex shocks etc under them :wave:

If you're throwing Ohlins at tehm then you'll need your 15K for the shocks alone.

If you're throwing Ohlins at tehm then you'll need your 15K for the shocks alone.

It really depends. Ohlins as a description doesnt really mean much does it. Like anything you have your cheaper Ohlins and you have your pricey top of the range Ohlins, Bilsteins, Proflex, Penske. At the end of the day a Cup Car uses control shocks, so im pretty sure that $2,500-3,000 a corner on supsension , so max 12k all up and 3k on forged 17" wheels is a adequate budget. Suspension arms etc do not have to be anything radical or expensive. Anyway thats my thinking :blink:

Im tlakign out my a55 anyway so :P

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
